Safety and Effectiveness of Percutaneous Axillary Artery Access for Complex Aortic Interventions

Axillary artery cannulation for aortic and complex cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND Cannulation of the axillary artery for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) avoids manipulation of an atherosclerotic, aneurysmal, or dissected ascending aorta. Advantages include: low risk of atheroemboli, low risk of malperfusion in dissections, and facilitates selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) during hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA). METHODS A single surgeon's seven year...

Effectiveness and safety of transradial artery access for cardiac catheterization.

The transradial approach for coronary angiography and angioplasty, while not new, is gaining momentum again as a viable alternative to the transfemoral approach. While technically it may have some challenges, there are significant benefits including reduced patient discomfort, improved time to ambulation, reduction in costs, and reduction in potentially life-threatening complications. The techn...
