Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated cannula and vascular clamp assembly. The integrated cannula and vascular clamp assembly includes a pair of clamping members made of a physiologically acceptable material that are pivotally coupled to a cannula for movement between an open position for at least partially surrounding a portion of a blood vessel section to be occluded and a clamping position for compressing the blood vessel with pressure sufficient to occlude blood flow through the section.
