sArterial cannulation to establish cardiopulmonary bypass during surgery for acute aortic dissection

Abstract

A cannulation strategy in surgery for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAAD) is integral for patient survival. Femoral cannulation has been the standard option for cannulation; however, there is increasing evidence that retrograde perfusion with femoral cannulation is associated with worse clinical outcomes, and new cannulation sites have been introduced in surgery for AAAD. Although axillary artery cannulation and central cannulation via the ascending aorta have become more popular than femoral access in recent years, adverse events have been reported and shifting cannulation sites during surgery are recommended by some surgeons. Therefore, it is beneficial for surgeons to broaden their knowledge about cannulation technology for AAAD. In this review, we discuss the various methods of cannulation for AAAD.
