The present invention discloses a main stage catheter instrument which serves as the primary catheterization access and arterial perfusion cannula for establishing cardiopulmonary bypass with selective perfusion and differential flow management of the cardiovascular, cardioneural and corporeal sub-circulations of a patient. The main stage catheter has a catheter shaft with a first occlusion member for occluding the thoracic descending aorta and an optional second occlusion member for occluding the abdominal descending aorta. A perfusion lumen in the main stage catheter supplies oxygenated blood to the aorta through distal, medial and proximal perfusion ports. Optionally, a second stage catheter inserted through the main stage catheter may be used to occlude the ascending aorta and to deliver a cardioplegic agent to the coronary arteries. The main stage catheter is coupled to a cardiopulmonary bypass system and a venous drainage catheter to establish partial or full cardiopulmonary bypass with elective cardioplegic arrest.
