Commentary: Location, location, location—proximal right subclavian cannulation for thoracic aortic surgery

Hybrid Treatment for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Combined with Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery

An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is the most common vascular abnormality of the aortic arch and is associated with development of aneurysms in 3-8% of these anomalies. In this case report, we describe an 84-year-old man with a symptomatic ARSA treated with staged hybrid procedure combining surgical replacement of the ascending aorta and bilateral carotid-to-subclavian artery bypass wi...

Cannulation of the right axillary artery for surgery of acute type A aortic dissection.

OBJECTIVE The optimal choice of the arterial inflow site during operations for type A aortic dissection is not clearly defined. The aim of the prospective study was to identify whether cannulation of the right axillary artery instead of the femoral artery may improve the results of surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. METHODS Seventy consecutive patients were operated on because of acu...

Which cannulation (ascending aortic cannulation or peripheral arterial cannulation) is better for acute type A aortic dissection surgery?

A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was 'Which cannulation (ascending aortic cannulation or peripheral arterial cannulation) is better for acute type A aortic dissection surgery?' Altogether 393 papers were found using the reported search, of which 14 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The au...
