Does arterial cannulation site for aortic dissection repair impact surgical outcomes?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Establishing cardiopulmonary bypass remains critical to the successful repair of an acute type A aortic dissection. A recent trend away from femoral arterial cannulation has occurred in part due to concerns of stroke risk from retrograde perfusion to the brain. The purpose of this study was to determine if arterial cannulation site for aortic dissection repair impacts surgical outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was performed at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School from January 1st, 2011 to March 8th, 2021. Of the 135 patients included, 98 (73%) underwent femoral arterial cannulation, 21 (16%) axillary artery cannulation, and 16 (12%) direct aorta cannulation. The study variables included demographic data, cannulation site, and complications.
