Excerpt

I read the article by Osumi et al. with great interest. The authors investigated the results of surgery on 52 patients with acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD). In this study, they discussed the central cannulation technique which had been accepted in several institutions in recent years. The central cannulation group showed shorter operation time, shorter cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and lower mortality rate than the peripheral group. They concluded that the central cannulation technique for AAAD was more rapid and safer compared with the peripheral cannulation technique. …
