A balloon arterial cannula and methods for filtering blood. The devices generally include a mesh for filtering blood flowing within a blood vessel, particularly within an artery such as the aorta, a structure adapted to open and close the mesh within the blood vessel, a means to actuate the structure, and a balloon occluder which typically includes a flexible material enclosing a chamber. The methods generally include the steps of introducing a mesh into a blood vessel to capture embolic material, adjusting the mesh, if necessary, during the course of filtration, inflating the balloon occluder to occlude the vessel upstream of the mesh, and thereafter deflating the balloon occluder and removing the mesh and the captured foreign matter from the blood vessel. Additionally, visualization techniques are used to ensure effective filtration.

The present invention relates to a cannula for femoral arterial bidirectional (a heart direction and a distal lower extremity direction) perfusion. The cannula, which has a cannula tube to be inserted into a blood vessel of the femoral artery, includes a perfusion guide channel formed as a concave part from a predetermined portion of an inner circumferential surface at an end of the cannula tube to the opposite end thereof in a length direction and further includes a through-hole provided at a boundary portion between the perfusion guide channel and the cannula tube in an end direction of the cannula tube, or includes a through-hole provided in a predetermined portion of to an inner circumferential surface of an end of the cannula tube and a guide cover provided at an upper portion of the through-hole to cover the upper portion of the through-hole and guide perfusion. During surgery, perfusion proceeds towards the distal limb and thus blood may be stably supplied, and thus ischemia prevalence of the distal limb may be significantly reduced. Accordingly, the cannula can replace conventional techniques used for distal limb perfusion and may stably perform femoral arterial cannulation without technical difficulties such as complications or breakage of blood vessels.

A system and method is disclosed for measuring cardiac output. A closed fluid circuit is created between a patient's arterial cannula and venous cannula.

A method for determining the hematocrit and/or blood volume during an extracorporeal blood treatment with an extracorporeal blood circuit, in which blood is taken with a blood pump via an arterial cannula and an arterial flexible-tube line and blood is fed back via a venous flexible-tube line and a venous cannula. Pressure is measured in the extracorporeal blood circuit and a change in the hematocrit is determined from a change in the pressure. The respective relationship between hematocrit HKT or blood volume RBV and pressure P in the extracorporeal circuit is stored for various cannula diameters and various blood-flow values. The respective relationship for a given cannula diameter and blood flow is selected. The hematocrit and/or blood volume is determined taking account of the selected relationship.

A modular blood filter device and delivery system, comprising an arterial cannula with a modular filter device. The arterial cannula includes a distal end adapted to enter an artery, and a side port for receiving a modular filter cartridge. The modular filter cartridge includes a tubular cartridge, and a shaft having a handle on one end and an expandable filter device on the other end. The expandable filter device includes filter mesh and an expansion frame capable of assuming enlarged and contracted conditions.

The cannula may be introduced into a blood vessel, and the expandable filter device may be deployed through the cannula into the vessel. The expansion frame may be expanded to the enlarged condition to capture embolic material in the mesh, may be collapsed to the contracted condition, and may be removed from the vessel. The modular filter cartridge may be removed from the cannula, and a new modular filter cartridge may then be received therein.

The venous reservoir is omitted from an extracorporeal blood circuit system by substituting a blood reservoir in parallel with the arterial pump. The reservoir has an inlet connected to the outlet of the pump and an outlet connected to the inlet of the pump. At least three blood flow paths can be configured. A main path has the inlet and outlet of the reservoir blocked while pumped blood flows through the venous cannula, the oxygenator, and the arterial cannula. An accumulator path has the inlet to the oxygenator and the outlet of the reservoir blocked while blood flows through the venous cannula and the inlet to the reservoir. A discharge path has the inlet of the reservoir blocked while the outlet is open whereby blood from the reservoir flows into the oxygenator. In a fourth configuration, the ECC fluid can be recovered in the reservoir and hemoconcentrated for autologous transfusion.
