Abstract
innominate artery cannulation for aortic artery surgery with extracorporeal circulation Surgery of the ascending aorta and its arc with extracorporeal circulation require an arterial cannulation that assures and adequate systemic circulation and reduces the risk of neurological complications. A peripheral cannulation such as the femoral artery, a central extra-thoracic approach such as axillary, subclavian or carotid arteries or a central intra-thoracic approach such as aorta and innominate arteries, are valid alternatives. Innominate artery cannulation can be carried out without the need of a second incision. It is an easily accessible and large bore vessel. It allows an anterograde brain and visceral flow. In cases of aortic arch surgery, the clamping of the artery in its origin, allows a selective anterograde brain perfusion. The surgical technique for innominate artery cannulation is herein described.
