Dear Prasanna ....
- would you elaborate more on Cardiovocal syndrome ?


> Opened RA and placed a ET tube into the SVC and connected it to vacuum
assist. The >IVC rained at the "sweet spot" not requiring any thing done for
it. Did the TV plasty,
> Bi atrial maze and MVR  and a reduction atrioplasty (Kawazoe)

- Through a left atriotomy I suppose ? .... any difficulty with ET in SVC
without taping ?
- Would you elaborate more on how to adjust to / identify the "sweet spot" ?
