Objective Leg ischemia is a serious complication of femoral artery cannulation. The primary aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel bidirectional femoral arterial cannula (Sorin Group USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of LivaNova PLC, Arvada, CO USA) that provides both antegrade and retrograde flow, in patients undergoing peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery. Methods Patients undergoing routine cardiac surgery requiring femoral artery cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass were identified preoperatively. Informed written consent was obtained in all cases. Bidirectional cannula insertion used either a surgical cut-down and wire through needle approach or a percutaneous technique. Flow in the superficial femoral artery was assessed using Doppler ultrasound after commencement of cardiopulmonary bypass. Lower limb perfusion was assessed using reflectance near-infrared spectroscopy to measure regional oxygen saturations in the cannulated limb during cardiopulmonary bypass. Results Fifteen patients (median age = 61.3 years, range = 26–79 years, 10 males, 5 females) underwent femoral arterial cannulation using the novel bidirectional femoral cannula between August 2016 and May 2017. Fourteen cannulae were inserted directly into the femoral artery via a surgical cut-down and wire through needle technique. One bidirectional cannula was inserted using a percutaneous insertion technique. Indications included minimally invasive mitral and aortic valve surgery, thoracic aortic aneurysm repair, and redo cardiac surgery. The median duration of cardiopulmonary bypass was 129 minutes (range = 53–228 minutes). The cannula was inserted and positioned without difficulty in 14 of 15 patients. Incorrect sizing and arterial spasm prevented correct cannula positioning in one patient. Antegrade flow in the superficial femoral artery was observed on Doppler ultrasound in 12 of 12 patients in which this was performed. Continuous stable distal perfusion was demonstrated in the cannulated limb in 14 of 15 patients. No procedural complications occurred in the immediate or convalescent postoperative period. Conclusions This study demonstrates that in patients undergoing femoral arterial cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery, the use of a novel bidirectional cannula is safe and easy to insert and provides stable distal perfusion of the cannulated limb. Use of the device should largely obviate the need to insert a separate downstream perfusion cannula or use other techniques to protect against lower limb ischemia. Further research on a larger scale and in different patient populations is now warranted.

Abstract Background The optimal cannulation strategy in surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissection is critical to the patients’ survival, but remains controversial. Different cannulation strategies have their own advantages and drawbacks during cardiopulmonary bypass. Our center used femoral and axillary artery cannulation for Stanford type A aortic dissection. The purpose of this study was to review and clarify the clinic outcome of femoral artery cannulation combined with axillary artery cannulation for the treatment of type A aortic dissection. Methods We performed a retrospective study that included 327 patients who were surgically treated for type A aortic dissection in our institution from January 2017 to June 2019.Using femoral and axillary artery cannulation to establish cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with type A aortic dissection. The demographics data and surgical data, clinical results of the patients were calculated. Results Femoral artery combined with axillary artery cannulation was technically successful in 327 patients. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was 141.60 ± 34.89 minutes, and the selective antegrade cerebral perfusion time was 14.94 ± 2.76 minutes. The early mortality was 3.06%. The incidence of permanent neurologic dysfunction was 0.92%. Sixteen patients had post-operative renal insufficiency and five patients with liver failure. Two patients ended up with paraplegia. Conclusion Femoral artery combined with axillary artery cannulation for type A aortic dissection can significantly reduce the occurrence of malperfusion syndrome and nervous system complications, especially for cerebral protection.

Abstract Background Clinical application of minimally invasive cardiac surgery has increased annually. Cardiopulmonary bypass is established by peripheral cannulation during minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The methodology of peripheral cannulation has unique characteristics, which have associated risks and complications. Few studies have been conducted on this topic. In this study, we focused on complications of peripheral cannulation in totally endoscopic cardiac surgery. Methods Patients who underwent totally endoscopic cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass established by peripheral cannulation at our institution between January 2019 and June 2020 were reviewed. Specific cannulation strategies and related cannulation complications were noted. Results One hundred forty-eight patients underwent totally endoscopic cardiac surgery. One hundred forty-eight cannulations were performed in the femoral artery and vein, and eleven were performed in the internal jugular vein (combined with the femoral vein). The median size of the femoral artery cannula was 22Fr, and that of the venous canula was 24Fr. One patient died of retroperitoneal haematoma due to femoral artery injury. Three patients had postoperative lower limb oedema. One patient had a postoperative diagnosis of femoral vein thrombosis. Conclusions Different from cannulation in patients with aortic dissection and aneurysms, femoral artery cannulation is safe in totally endoscopic cardiac surgery. Venous cannulation is characterized by a large-bore venous cannula and a short period of use. There are few reports about complications of venous cannulation. The main complication in this study was mechanical injury, and the key to preventing this injury is meticulous manipulation during surgery.

Objective Femoral arterial cannulation is associated with a significant risk of lower limb ischemia. The aim of the study was to assess the pressure and flow in the femoral artery using a novel bidirectional femoral cannula in a sheep model of peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods Peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass was established using a multistage venous cannula inserted into the internal jugular vein and the bidirectional or a conventional arterial cannula into the femoral artery in seven adult ewes. Systemic and distal perfusion pressures and flow rates were measured during cardiopulmonary bypass with flow rates of 1, 2, 3, and 4 L/min. Lower limb venous oxygen saturation and lactate levels were also measured. Results A significantly higher blood flow in the lower limb using the bidirectional cannula was observed and compared with a conventional cannula at all flow rates (mean flow 115 mL/min vs 10 mL/min, P < 0.05). The mean distal perfusion pressure was also significantly higher in the bidirectional cannula group (86 mm Hg vs 45 mm Hg at 4 L/min of flow, P < 0.05). The bidirectional cannula was associated with higher venous oxygen saturations in the lower limb than in the conventional cannula group; however, lower limb lactate production was similar in the two groups. Conclusions This in vivo data demonstrates superior distal flow and pressure characteristics of a novel bidirectional cannula compared with a conventional femoral cannula during peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass.

AbstractWe previously presented a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) method with blood delivery via femoral artery cannulation for pediatric aortic arch repair operations using the Radifocus Introducer sheath. However, the flow rate with the Radifocus Introducer sheath is limited by accessory parts with the same structure having a smaller inner diameter among different sizes, rather than the sheath body. Therefore, we further devised a combination of the JELCO IV catheter, an extension tube, and a three-way stopcock with a larger opening to obtain more flow rate keeping the CPB circuit pressure significantly lower than when using the Radifocus Introducer sheath successfully.
