A three-way double stopcock and associated tubing is disclosed with which to connect both a cardioplegia solution source and a pressure monitor for the solution selectively and alternatively to either an antegrade cardioplegia catheter or a retrograde cardioplegia catheter. The stopcock includes a hollow valve body with three solution infusion ports communicating to the interior thereof in a coplanar arrangement at a first longitudinal point on the valve body. Three cardioplegia pressure monitoring ports also communicate through the valve body to the interior thereof at a second longitudinal position distinct from the first. Mounted in the valve body is a cylindrical valve core selectively rotatable about the longitudinal axis thereof between a first position in which the cardioplegia solution source and the pressure monitor are coupled to the antegrade cannula and a second position in which the cardioplegia solution source and the pressure monitor are coupled to the retrograde catheter. Formed in the valve core are a set of valving passageways for communicating with selective of the infusion ports and a set of valving passageways for communicating with selective of the pressure monitoring ports.
