Femoral artery cannulation as a safe alternative for aortic dissection arch repair in the era of axillary artery cannulation

CONCLUSIONS: Femoral artery cannulation produced similar perioperative outcomes to axillary cannulation after open arch repair for TAAD. The femoral artery can be used as a safe and effective alternative to the axillary artery for arterial cannulation in TAAD patients undergoing open arch repair.PMID:33717540 | PMC:PMC7947520 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-20-2113
