In elective arch surgery with circulatory arrest, does the arterial cannulation site really matter? A propensity score analysis of right axillary and innominate artery cannulation

“…Unilateral or bilateral ACP, in conjunction with hypothermic circulatory arrest, is used in aortic surgery to safely extend the period of circulatory arrest and facilitate complex arch procedures. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] To facilitate ACP delivery, different cannulation strategies have been implemented. 1,[3][4][5][6][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In this study, we evaluated our experience with various cannulation strategies in patients who underwent elective proximal and total arch surgery during the past decade.…”
