N2 - Embolic stroke is a major complication of cardiac surgery and there have been multiple methods developed to reduce this risk. Recent technology has produced 2 primary devices for producing a bloodless and clampless field to perform aortocoronary graft anastomosis. We present a case with a Class V aorta, deployment failure of one device after aortic punch, and salvage of the aortotomy with the other device.
