Key result
Modified ascending aortic cannulation is an alternative approach for minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery when femoral artery cannulation is contraindicated.
Why the study?
When femoral artery cannulation is contraindicated in minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery, alternative arterial cannulation strategies are needed.
Modified ascending aortic cannulation serves as an alternative approach for cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery when femoral cannulation is contraindicated.
Supports feasibility when femoral cannulation is contraindicated; leaves open safety and efficacy pending prospective validation.
Cannulation through the femoral artery is the preferred method of establishing peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery. However, faced with the contraindication of femoral artery cannulation, modified ascending aortic cannulation is an alternative approach to minimally invasive totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery.
