A dental mirror provides excellent exposure of the right coronary artery during cardioplegia

Tsutomu Matsushita et al. Heart Lung Circ. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

It sometimes is very difficult to achieve good exposure of the orifice of the right coronary artery through a typical aortotomy when inserting the cannula for the selective antegrade administration of cardioplegic solution to the right coronary artery. A simple technique of exposing the orifice of the right coronary artery using a dental mirror is described.
