Safety and efficacy of ascending aorta cannulation during repair of acute type A aortic dissection (PA29-04): Presented at the 65th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery

摘要

ObjectiveAntegrade central perfusion for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection prevents malperfusion and retrograde cerebral embolism during cardiopulmonary bypass. Prompt establishment of antegrade perfusion via the ascending aorta may improve surgical results of type A dissections, especially in situations of hemodynamic instability. Thus, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of cannulation of the dissected ascending aorta in acute type A dissection.
