Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: CardioGard CannulaActive Control1 Intervention
The Cardiogard embolic protection device is a curved tip 24-French aortic perfusion cannula.
Group II: Embol-X Embolic Protection DeviceActive Control1 Intervention
The surgeon may use either the EMBOL-X® Access Device/Aortic Cannula or a standard cannula with the EMBOL-X® filter deployed through a separate introducer sheath.
Group III: Standard CannulaActive Control1 Intervention
Patients in this arm will receive the standard of care surgical procedure using a cannula of the surgeon's choosing.
