Left: From Selective Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion and Mild (28 C-30 C) Systemic Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest for Aortic Arch Replacement: Results From 1002 Patients. Open distal aortic arch repair during bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion and mild systemic hypothermic circulatory arrest. After opening the aortic arch, the left subclavian artery was blocked by insertion of a Fogarty catheter to obtain a bloodless operative field. At that point, the elastomer loop snared around the left common carotid artery was temporarily loosened and an arterial line placed inside the vessel for additional perfusion of the left hemisphere. Center: From Thoracoscopic Localization of Intraparenchymal Pulmonary Nodules Using Direct Intracavitary Thoracoscopic
Ultrasonography Prevents Conversion of VATS Procedures to Thoracotomy in Selected Patients. Left, Preoperative computed tomography image of small, irregular, left upper lobe ground glass opacity with solitary components (arrow). Right, Corresponding video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery ultrasound in vivo image of the nodule. Right: From Transplantation of Initially Rejected Donor Lungs After Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion. Schematic drawing of the ex vivo lung perfusion unit. The blood enters the open reservoir via the remnant of the left atrium. Samples for blood gas analyses are drawn from the left atrium (LA) and from a port after the oxygenator where drugs can also be administered. PA, Pulmonary artery; HCU, Heater-cooler unit.

Left: From Selective Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion and Mild (28 C-30 C) Systemic Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest for Aortic Arch Replacement: Results From 1002 Patients. Open distal aortic arch repair during bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion and mild systemic hypothermic circulatory arrest. After opening the aortic arch, the left subclavian artery was blocked by insertion of a Fogarty catheter to obtain a bloodless operative field. At that point, the elastomer loop snared around the left common carotid artery was temporarily loosened and an arterial line placed inside the vessel for additional perfusion of the left hemisphere.

Schematic drawing of the ex vivo lung perfusion unit. The blood enters the open reservoir via the remnant of the left atrium. Samples for blood gas analyses are drawn from the left atrium (LA) and from a port after the oxygenator where drugs can also be administered. PA, Pulmonary artery; HCU, Heater-cooler unit.
