4. Fig 3
End-hole aortic cannulas direct a high-velocity jet at the orifices of the left carotid and left subclavian arteries, sparing the innominate, which may explain the preponderance of left hemispheric perioperative strokes. (Reprinted with permission of Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corp.)

Typical end-hole aortic cannula produces a single, high-velocity jet at more than 400 cm/s. (Reprinted with permission of Baxter Research Medical, Inc.)

The Sarns Soft-flow aortic cannula is plugged at the end and has four side holes which produce four low-velocity streams at approximately 100 cm/s, which is similar to normal aortic systolic velocity of 80 cm/s. (Reprinted with permission of Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corp.)
