Presented at the Fortieth Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, San Antonio, TX, Jan 26–28, 2004.
BACKGROUND: Recently, surgeons have embraced axillary artery cannulation for type A aortic dissection repair out of concern for malperfusion phenomena with traditional femoral artery cannulation. My colleagues and I sought to determine whether these concerns are justified.
METHODS: Records of 86 consecutive patients (51 men and 35 women; age, 30 to 86 years; mean, 62 years) undergoing surgical repair for acute type A dissection were reviewed. Cannulation site, specific operative repair, and complications related to cannulation were noted.
RESULTS: Seventy-nine cannulations were performed in the femoral artery (47 left, 23 right, and 9 unspecified), 3 in the axillary artery (1 left and 2 right), and 4 in the ascending aorta or arch. Deep hypothermic arrest was used in 64 operations. Seven involved re-sternotomy. Seventy patients had supracoronary grafts (2 with valve replacement and 10 with valve resuspension), and 16 underwent aortic root replacement. Fourteen patients were in shock from cardiac tamponade. Eighty patients survived the operation, and 71 were hospital survivors. Malperfusion on initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass was noted in 3 patients. In 1, the original cannulation site was the ascending aorta, and the cannula was moved to the femoral artery for correction. In 2, the original cannulation site was the femoral artery, and the cannula was moved to the ascending aorta. Malperfusion on clamping of the aorta or on resumption of aortic flow was noted in no patient. Postoperative ischemia of any vascular bed was noted locally only in 3 (cannulated) lower extremities.
CONCLUSIONS: Straight femoral cannulation for all phases of type A dissection repair is appropriate and yields excellent clinical results. The anticipated malperfusion events are actually rare (2 of 79 with femoral artery cannulation, or 2.5%).
