Axillary artery cannulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Percutaneous cannulation of the axillary artery is a safe and appropriate means of intervention for invasive blood pressure monitoring, particularly in the absence of radial or other peripheral pulses. On five separate occasions the author was called upon to place an indwelling cannula for continuous blood pressure monitoring for patients in whom no distal peripheral pulses were palpable. In each of these cases, the axillary artery was palpable and was cannulated on the first attempt, thus enabling the anesthetist to obtain accurate pressure values.

Direct Axillary Arterial Cannulation Using Seldinger's Technique in Aortic Dissection
BACKGROUND The axillary artery is frequently used for cardiopulmonary bypass, especially in acute aortic dissection. We have cannulated the axillary artery using a side graft or by directly using Seldinger's technique. The purpose of this study was to assess the technical problems and complications of both cannulation techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2003 to December 2009, 53 pa...

We present an experience with axillary artery and transapical aortic cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass according to our indication. We could simply achieve antegrade flow using the two methods with satisfactory result.
متن کاملAxillary versus femoral cannulation for aortic surgery: enough evidence for a general recommendation?
There is a trend towards cannulation of the axillary artery for extracorporeal circulation in patients requiring aortic arch surgery. We analyzed the published data comparing axillary and femoral cannulation for safety and outcome. End points were death; stroke, neurologic, and vascular complications; and malperfusion. Femoral cannulation is safe for extracorporeal circulation in patients witho...
متن کاملTranscutaneous axillary artery cannulation.
The axillary artery may be an alternative cannulation site for patients with diffused atherosclerosis, aortic dissection, and aneurysm. There are different techniques for axillary artery cannulation that can be performed easily with a transcutaneous approach. Small incision necessity, less dissection, and good wound healing are other advantages of this technique.

A 72-year-old man underwent aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft using cardiopulmonary bypass with right axillary artery cannulation. After undraping, petechial and subcutaneous hemorrhage with blister formations were found in right upper extremity. Axillary artery cannula was considered to compress right subclavian and disturb venous return in the right subclavian vein, wh...

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...
