• Partial cardiopulmonary bypass is adopted in operation for aneurysm of descending aorta or DeBakey IIIb dissection. Cannulation from left common femoral vein to inferior vena cava (IVC) is often difficult because of operative position and anatomical relation of iliac veins to IVC. In this paper, IVC cannulation using Forgaty catheter is reported to be easy and safe for prevention of IVC perforation.
