Resumo

A simple method of coronary sinus cannulation for retrograde cardioplegia administration is described that reduces cardiac manipulation. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is used to direct atraumatic coronary sinus cannulation, confirm the depth of insertion of the cannula tip in relation to the ostium, and reduce overall cannulation time.
