Simplified aortic cannulation (SAC) – a useful technique for neonates with small aortas
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simplified means of arterial cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass in small neonates and those infants with diminutive aortas, or requiring reconstruction of the ascending aorta, is presented. It involves suturing a long 3.5 mm graft to the innominate artery and inserting the arterial cannula into the end of the graft. This technique improves exposure, thereby greatly simplifying many complex repairs, and may be used for initiation of ECMO or for hybrid procedures in the postoperative period.

Surgical strategy to prevent cardiac injury during reoperation in infants
INTRODUCTION Simplified Aortic Cannulation (SAC), wherein the innominate artery is used as the arterial inflow site rather than the ascending aorta, has proved to be a useful technique for arterial cannulation especially for small neonates undergoing complex cardiac operations. Since few technical options are available for re-entry cardiac injuries in small infants, we postulate that this techn...
متن کاملCannulation strategy for aortic arch reconstruction using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
BACKGROUND Aortic arch reconstruction in neonates is commonly performed using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. However, concerns have arisen regarding potential adverse neurologic outcomes from this complex procedure, raising questions about the best arterial cannulation approach for cerebral perfusion and effective systemic hypothermia. In this study, we use computational fluid dynamics to...

Vascular cannulation is an invasive procedure that carries the risk of complications such as pseudoaneurysms. Hemophilia, the most common severe bleeding disorder of inheritance, increases the risk of such complications through underlying hypocoagulability. Although surgical ligation has been considered the gold standard treatment, less invasive options are currently available. Here we present ...

BACKGROUND Aortic valve surgery in patients with severely calcified aortas is technically challenging. Additionally, the choice of arterial cannulation site and whether to perform an aortic clamp to prevent neurological complications are poorly defined. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a patient with a severely calcified aorta and stenosis of its side branches. He successfully underwent aortic v...

BACKGROUND A clinically driven transition in perfusion technique occurred at Children's Hospital and Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, from primarily selective cerebral perfusion bracketed by brief periods of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest to a technique of dual arterial perfusion including innominate artery and descending aortic cannulation (DAC), with continuous mildly hypothermic (>30 °C...
