Summary
Peripheral vessel cannulation is a standard approach for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), particularly beneficial in aortic surgery. This method ensures safe CPB implementation for complex aortic arch surgeries and dissections requiring cerebral perfusion.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Vascular Access
- Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Background:
- Peripheral vessel cannulation is increasingly utilized for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
- It offers advantages in patients needing left ventricular support (e.g., ECMO, VADs) and complex aortic surgeries.
- Subclavian and axillary arteries are common arterial cannulation sites for CPB in aortic surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe techniques for direct subclavian and axillary artery cannulation.
- To highlight the utility of these peripheral access sites in aortic arch surgery.
Main Methods:
- Direct cannulation techniques for subclavian and axillary arteries are detailed.
- Application of these methods in establishing cardiopulmonary bypass for aortic arch procedures.
Main Results:
- Subclavian and axillary artery cannulation provides safe CPB implementation.
- These sites are suitable for complex reoperations and acute aortic dissections requiring cerebral perfusion.
Conclusions:
- Direct subclavian and axillary artery cannulation are effective techniques for aortic arch surgery.
- Peripheral vessel access facilitates safe cardiopulmonary bypass in challenging aortic disease cases.

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...
