Fig 3 (A) Schematic representation of the surgical anatomy. (Aa = ascending aorta; LAA = left atrial appendage; PA = pulmonary artery; RA = right atrium; SVC = superior vena cava.) (B) After the tunnel has been opened, the aortic and the ventricular orifices are seen through the tunnel. (A = aortic orifice; B = ventricular orifice; C = tunnel opened; D = aortic cannula; E = venous cannula.)
