Axillary artery (AX) cannulation has several advantages over other cannulation strategies in complex cases, such as acute type A dissection (ATAD), redo aortic surgery, or cases with a severely calcified or atherosclerotic aorta.
20 lut 2019 · The authors review axillary artery cannulation indications and technique. They focus on the relevant anatomy, surgical preparation, and cannulation technique. They also show their approach for reoperative axillary artery cannulation and discuss potential complications and pitfalls.
20 lis 2017 · Objectives: Axillary artery cannulation is commonly used in thoracic aortic surgery, often utilizing a sidearm graft. Although our institutional preference is femoral cannulation,...
28 mar 2012 · Axillary artery cannulation can be used as the procedure of choice in cases of ascending aortic aneurysm extending in the arch, isolated arch aneurysms, type A aortic dissection, porcelain aorta, re-operations of the thoracic aorta and other miscellaneous indications.
Axillary artery cannulation has been proposed as a means of addressing the latter two concerns, although this technique has largely been used to treat chronic aneurysms of the aortic arch.
14 paź 2022 · We show tips and tricks to facilitate the isolation and direct cannulation of the axillary artery, thereby facilitating cerebral perfusion during circulatory arrest and minimizing its involvement in the dissection process.
Cannulating the right axillary through a vascular prosthetic graft reduces cannulation-related complications such as iatrogenic axillary artery dissection and lowers stroke rates. To help prevent cannulation-related complications and stroke, we recommend the routine use of a side graft when cannulating the axillary artery.
