Abstract
A modification of the Leeds cannula has been described; the use of a cellophane obturator
reduced the risk of carrying air into the right auricle when the instrument was inserted.
An auxiliary perforated catheter, the femoral vein supplement, improved the flow of
blood out through the L cannula into an extracorporeal circuit. Complete venous drainage
was accomplished by this method of cannulation, which permitted total by-pass of the
heart and lungs.
