AbstractSeveral cannulation sites alternative to the ascending aorta, such as femoral, right axillary, carotid, innominate artery, and, less commonly, apical sites, have been proposed. Cannulation of the right subclavian artery, through sternotomy, is one possible means of establishing cardiopulmonary bypass, hence avoiding a second surgical incision. In our experience, cardiopulmonary bypass flow was adequate and circulatory arrest with antegrade cerebral perfusion was successfully performed in all cases. There was no in-hospital mortality.

Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of innominate artery cannulation strategy with side graft technique in proximal aortic pathologies. Methods. A total of 70 patients underwent innominate artery cannulation with a side graft for surgery on the proximal aorta from 2012 to 2020. There were 46 men and 24 women with an avarage age of 56 ±13 years. The indications of surgery were type A aortic dissection in 17 patients (24.3%), aortic aneurysm in 52 patients (74.3%) and ascending aorta pseudoaneurysm in 1 patient (1.4%). The innominate artery was free of disease in all patients. Hypothermic circulatory arrest with antegrade cerebral perfusion was utilized in 60 patients (85.7%). 3 patients had previous sternotomy (4.2%). The most common surgical procedure was ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement in 34 patients (48.5%). Results. The mean cardiac ischemia and cardiopulmonary bypass times were 116+46 minutes and164+56 minutes, respectively. The mean antegrade cerebral perfusion time was 27+14 minutes. The patients were cooled between 22’C and 30’C during surgery. 30-day mortality rate was 7.1% with 5 patients. 1 patient (1.4%) had stroke, 1 patient (1.4%) had temporary neurologic deficit and 8 patients (11.4%) had confusion and agitation that resolved completely in all cases. There was no local complication or arterial injury was encounterd. Conclusions. Cannulation of the innominate artery with side graft is safe and effective for both cardiopulmonary bypass and antegrade cerebral perfusion. This technique provides excellent neurologic outcomes for proximal aortic surgery.

Abstract Background Direct cannulation of the innominate artery for selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) has been shown to be safe in elective proximal aortic reconstructions. We sought to evaluate the safety of this technique in acute aortic dissection. Methods A multi-institutional retrospective review was undertaken of patients who underwent proximal aortic reconstruction for Stanford type A dissection between 2006 and 2016. Those patients who had direct innominate artery cannulation for SACP were selected for analysis. Results Seventy-five patients underwent innominate artery cannulation for ACP for Stanford Type A Dissections. Isolated replacement of the ascending aorta was performed in 36 patients (48.0%), concomitant aortic root replacement was required in 35 patients (46.7%), of whom 7 had a valve-sparing aortic root replacement. Other procedures included frozen elephant trunk (n = 11 (14.7%)), coronary artery bypass grafting (n = 20 (26.7%)), and peripheral arterial bypass (n = 4 (5.3%)). Mean hypothermic circulatory arrest time was 19 ± minutes. Thirty-day mortality was 14.7% (n = 11). Perioperative stroke occurred in 7 patients (9.3%). Conclusions This study is the first comprehensive review of direct innominate artery cannulation through median sternotomy for SACP in aortic dissection. Our experience suggests that this strategy is a safe and effective technique compared to other reported methods of cannulation and ACP for delivering selective ACP in these cases.

The brachiocephalic artery is an alternative cannulation site in the repair of ascending aortic lesions that require circulatory arrest. We evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this technique. Proximal aortic surgery was performed in 32 patients from 2006 through 2012 via brachiocephalic artery cannulation and circulatory arrest. Twenty-four (75%) of the patients were men. The mean age was 48.69 ± 9.43 years (range, 30–68 yr). Twelve had type I dissection, 2 had type II dissection, and 18 had true aneurysms of the ascending aorta. All operations were performed through a median sternotomy. The arterial cannula was inserted through an 8-mm vascular graft anastomosed to the brachiocephalic artery in an end-to-side fashion. In dissections, the distal anastomosis was performed without clamping the aorta. The patients were cooled to 24 °C, and circulatory arrest was established. The brachiocephalic and left carotid arteries were clamped, and antegrade cerebral perfusion was started at a rate of 10 mL/kg/min. Cardiopulmonary bypass was resumed after completion of the distal anastomosis and the initiation of rewarming. The proximal anastomosis was then performed. None of the patients sustained a major neurologic deficit, but 5 patients experienced transient postoperative agitation (<24 hr). There were 2 early deaths (6.25%), on the 3rd and the 11th postoperative days, both unrelated to the cannulation technique. Brachiocephalic artery cannulation through a graft can be a safe and effective technique in proximal aortic surgical procedures that require circulatory arrest.

We report a rare case of congenital saccular aneurysm of the right cervical aortic arch in a 16-year-old girl. There were no branches arising from the aortic arch but 3 branches arose from the ascending aorta: the left innominate artery, the right common carotid artery, and the right subclavian artery. The aneurysm was successfully repaired with a plasma-preclotted woven Dacron interposition graft during profound hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass without total circulatory arrest.

Background —Bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) has decreased in popularity over the past decade because of its complexity and the risk of cerebral embolism. We used magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging to assess flow distribution in both hemispheres of the brain during unilateral ACP through the right carotid artery via a cannula placed in the right axillary artery in conjunction with hypothermic circulatory arrest. Methods and Results —Twelve pigs were randomly exposed to 120 minutes of either bilateral ACP through both carotid arteries (n=6) or unilateral ACP through the right axillary artery (n=6) at pressures of 60 to 65 mm Hg at 15°C, followed by 60 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass at 37°C. MR perfusion images were acquired every 30 minutes before, during, and after ACP. The brain was perfusion fixed for histopathology. During initial normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, MR perfusion imaging showed a uniform distribution of flow in the brain. In both the bilateral and unilateral ACP groups, the same pattern was maintained, with an increase in regional cerebral blood volume during ACP and reperfusion. The changes in regional cerebral blood volume and mean transit time were similar in both hemispheres during and after unilateral ACP. No difference was observed between the 2 groups. Histopathology showed normal morphology in all regions of the brain in both groups. Conclusions —Both bilateral ACP and unilateral ACP provide uniform blood distribution to both hemispheres of the brain and preserve normal morphology of the neurons after prolonged hypothermic circulatory arrest.

Abdominal tumors that can grow through vascular lumen and spread to the right heart are rare. Although these tumors have different histologic aspects, they may cause similar abdominal and cardiac symptoms and are a serious risk factor for pulmonary embolism and sudden death when they reach the right atrium and tricuspid valve. The best treatment is radical surgical resection of the entire tumor using cardiopulmonary bypass with or without deep hypothermia and total circulatory arrest. We report the cases of two patients, the first with leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava and the other with intravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus that showed intravascular growth up to right atrium and ventricle, who underwent successful radical resection in a one-stage procedure with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. We discuss the clinical and histologic aspects and imaging diagnosis and review the literature.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Aortic dissection (AoD) in the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is very rare. Clinical experience is limited, and there is no consensus regarding the optimal management strategy. We seek to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the total arch replacement (TAR) and frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique as an approach to AoD in patients with ARSA by retrospectively analysing our single-centre experience. METHODS From 2009 to 2017, we performed TAR + FET for 22 patients with ARSA sustaining AoD (13 acute, 59.1%). The mean age was 46.0 years [standard deviation (SD) 8.3], and 19 patients were male (86.4%). ARSA orifice was dilated in 15 (68.2%) patients, and a Kommerall diverticulum was diagnosed in 13 (59.1%) patients with a mean diameter of 21.8 mm (SD 7.7; range 15–40). Surgery was performed via femoral and right/left carotid cannulation under hypothermic circulatory arrest at 25°C. The ARSA was reconstructed using a separate branched graft. RESULTS ARSA was closed proximally by ligation in 16 (72.7%) patients, direct suture in 4 (18.2%) patients and both in 2 (9.1%) patients. Operative mortality was 13.6% (3/22). Type Ib endoleak occurred in 1 (4.5%) patient at 8 days. Follow-up was complete in 100% at mean 4.2 years (SD 2.0), during which 3 late deaths and 1 reintervention for type II endoleak occurred. Survival was 81.8% and 76.4% at 3 and 5 years, respectively. Freedom from reoperation was 89.2% up to 8 years. In competing risks analysis, the incidence was 22.1% for death, 10.8% for reoperation and 67.1% for event-free survival at 5 years. The false lumen, ARSA orifice and Kommerall diverticulum were obliterated in 100%. Grafts were patent in 100%. No patients experienced cerebral ischaemia and upper extremity claudication. Hypothermic circulatory arrest time (min) was sole predictor for death and aortic reintervention (hazard ratio 1.168, 95% confidence interval 1.011–1.348; P = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS The TAR and FET technique is a safe and efficacious approach to AoD in patients with ARSA. Modifications of routine TAR + FET techniques are essential to successful repair, including femoral and right/left carotid artery cannulation, ligation of ARSA on the right side of the trachea and ARSA reconstruction with a separate graft.
