?:definition
  • Stylets designed for use in the lumen of cannulae intended for insertion in the aorta; the stylet is usually withdrawn after the insertion of the cannula. These stylets typically are large diameter (up to 5 mm) metallic wires or flexible rods that provide a rigid or semi-rigid structure permitting the cannula to be connected to an external tube or connector for the injection or withdrawal of intravenous solutions and/or blood into the aorta. The combination of stylet and cannula is used frequently to return blood from external tubing into the aorta, bypassing the heart and lungs completely.
