Stylet for installing a retrograde coronary cannula

摘要

A coronary cannula and installation stylet set, the stylet having a shaft (24) extending through the lumen of the coronary cannula to facilitate the installation of the cannula. The shaft (24) has a stiff but resilient proximal portion (30) and a deformable distal portion (32), shorter than the proximal portion (30), which can be deformed to hold the distal tip of the coronary cannula in a desired configuration to facilitate the insertion of the cannula into the coronary sinus.
