ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a stylet for use with a retrograde cardioplegia catheter and its methods of use. The stylet includes a stylet rod, a handle on the proximal end of the stylet rod and a predetermined curve in the distal end of the stylet rod. The handle has a thumb rest on the proximal end and a one or two finger loops extending outward from the handle. An obturator is located on the distal end of the predetermined curve to impede blood flow through a tip of the cardioplegia catheter during insertion of the catheter. The invention also contemplates methods for using the stylet.
