Total aortic arch replacement remains a technically formidable procedure, particularly in patients with previous proximal aortic dissection repair. Our case discussion highlights a useful strategy for extracorporeal support and circulation management to facilitate total arch reconstruction in the reoperative setting, based on cannulation of the left axillary artery. Our preference is to use a left axillary artery approach to initiate cardiopulmonary bypass and to ultimately revascularize the left arm via an extra-anatomic graft. Our technique, as described, affords the option to initiate cardiopulmonary bypass before sternal re-entry, it reduces the risk of embolic complications and possible stroke, and it directly facilitates simple extra-anatomic debranching of the left subclavian artery, resulting in easier arch and great vessel reconstruction within the chest.

Abstract In aortic arch replacement, an isolated cerebral perfusion method has been reported in additional to axillary artery cannulation to prevent postoperative stroke. We have made changes to this method. In other words, we devised a method to reduce cerebral embolism by performing selective cerebral perfusion via an artificial graft anastomosed to the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery. This method was performed in 7 cases, and all patients were discharged alive without any neurological disorders. In the surgical procedure of the aortic arch, sufficient care must be taken in the manipulation around the brachiocephalic artery and the left subclavian artery. Our method can avoid reinsertion due to desorption of the cerebral perfusion cannula and can be expected to prevent postoperative stroke.
