Radial pressure may underestimate central pressure post-bypass in minimally invasive surgery; leaves open whether femoral monitoring improves outcomes.
Does radial artery pressure reliably approximate central arterial pressure compared to femoral artery pressure in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery with retrograde perfusion?
Radial systolic artery pressure significantly underestimates central arterial pressure during and after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, suggesting that intraoperative management should not rely solely on radial pressures.
