Preoperative Vascular Imaging for Predicting Intraoperative Modification of Peripheral Arterial Cannulation During Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery

Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests that preoperative vascular imaging and patient evaluation may predict difficulties with femoral cannulation and perfusion, which can lead to better preoperative planning and potentially prevent vascular complications. Further data will be accumulated and analyzed to confirm these findings.
