From: Modified whole-body postmortem computed tomography angiography using neck approach
Cut-down procedure for left-sided cannulation showing the standard Y incision of the neck (a). Sharp incision of the subcutaneous tissue soft tissue down inferior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle (b). Dissection of the soft tissue to expose the left CCA (black arrow head) and IJV (white arrow head) (c). Cannulation of the IJV with an 18-Fr venous catheter as shown by the white asterisk (d). Cannulation of the CCA with a 16-Fr arterial catheter and both anchored by strings (white and black arrows) to prevent them from slipping out (e). Both the catheters were then connected to the embalming machine for the angiographic procedure. (f) Both catheters connected to tubings, one acting as inlet (white arrow) and the other acting as outlet (white arrowhead)
