Direct Axillary Artery Cannulation for Aortic Surgery: Lessons from Contemporary Experiences
CONCLUSIONS: Direct AX cannulation for thoracic aortic repair is safe and carries a low rate of vascular injury, especially in elective cases. Our direct cannulation technique, which includes not inserting a cannula deeper than 3 cm, seems to be safe in not occluding the vertebral artery.PMID:35292261 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.02.048

The Stent Is Not to Blame: Lessons Learned With a Simplified US Version of the Frozen Elephant Trunk.
CONCLUSIONS: With the advent of endovascular technology, there is a clinical shift toward increased use of FET to eliminate or facilitate the second surgical stage in treating patients with extensive aortic pathology. The addition of FET to the surgical armamentarium does not seem to pose additional risk (although larger studies are needed), but judicious use is advised nonetheless. A single-piece endoprosthesis for FET instead of a customized one should be considered. PMID: 28648532 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
