Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The MTMM bi-directional cannula is a novel femoral arterial cannula that has been developed to improve standard retrograde perfusion without compromising distal limb flow during peripheral femoral cannulation for Cardiac Surgery.It is inserted on a single occasion by the cardiothoracic surgeon under direct vision into the femoral artery 5-10 minutes prior to institution of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It remains in situ until approximately 15-30 minutes after the patient is taken off CPB. The patient may be on CPB for up to 240 minutes (but the most common duration is between 90-120 minutes).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 296084 0
Safety - adverse events, adverse device events. The main potential risk is vessel damage requiring surgical repair. As the cannula is inserted under direct vision, if the vessel is injured it will be identified immediately and a surgical repair will be undertaken straight away. Dislogment of the cannula during CPB is a possible risk which could lead to blood loss. This would be identified immediately and would be rectified by repositioning the cannula under direct vision.
Timepoint [1] 296084 0
Measured fifteen minutely intraoperatively while in situ until the patient is taken off cardiopulmonary bypass and the cannula is removed.
Primary outcome [2] 296085 0
Performance of the cannula. Perfusion and blood flow to the lower limb of the cannulated leg, measured using Femoral Artery Doppler and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)
Timepoint [2] 296085 0
Measured for the duration the cannula is in situ until cardiopulmonary bypass is no longer required and the cannula is removed.
Secondary outcome [1] 317459 0
Line pressure in bypass circuit which is directly measured from perfusion circuit.
Timepoint [1] 317459 0
Measured fifteen minutely while the cannula is in situ.
Secondary outcome [2] 317726 0
Blood flow through cannula also measured from the perfusion circuit.
Timepoint [2] 317726 0
Measured 15 minutely while the cannula is in situ.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Patients may be male or female
2. Patients must be 18 years or over and not more than 80 years of age.
3. Patients must be assessed as requiring cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass support by a cardio-thoracic surgeon.
4. Patients must weigh greater than 45kg and less than 130kg.
5. Site personnel must obtain informed consent from the patient prior to any study procedures (including screening procedures).
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
80 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Patients who have undergone previous vascular surgery of the femoral artery.
2. Patients requiring emergency cardiac surgery including Type A aortic dissections.
3. Patients where the internal diameter of the common femoral artery is not greater than 0.6cm.
4. Concurrent enrollment in another investigational drug or device study, or use of any experimental or investigational drug or device within 30 days of cardiopulmonary bypass support.
5. Any other medical condition which in the view if the Investigator is likely to interfere with the study or put the patient at risk.
6. Patients who the investigator feels will not achieve adequate flow rates and line pressures due to the patient's weight and body surface area.
