Abstract
Because of the very high vascular resistances in neonates, downstream vascular resistances dictated flow distribution to the different vascular beds rather than the cannulation strategy, allowing the surgical team to choose their method of preference. However, patients with aortic coarctation warrant further investigation and will most likely benefit from a 2-cannulae approach (option 4).
