Does anterograde perfusion using a proximal aortic cannula reduce cerebral embolism and morbidity in patients with arch and descending aortic aneurysms?
Anterograde perfusion via a proximal aortic cannula appears safe for arch and descending aortic aneurysm resection, with low risks of cerebral embolism and morbidity.
Anterograde perfusion using a proximal aortic cannula provides a low risk of cerebral embolism and allows extensive aortic resection with low morbidity.
