A simple method to establish antegrade cerebral perfusion during hemiarch reconstructionCentral MessagePerspective

Objective: We describe a novel and safe technique using a 12F–14F pediatric arterial cannula to establish unilateral, selective, antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) during open hemiarch reconstruction. Methods: Between January 2015 and September 2018, 42 patients underwent elective aortic aneurysm re...

description Objective: We describe a novel and safe technique using a 12F–14F pediatric arterial cannula to establish unilateral, selective, antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) during open hemiarch reconstruction. Methods: Between January 2015 and September 2018, 42 patients underwent elective aortic aneurysm repair requiring an open distal anastomosis and at least a hemiarch replacement via hypothermic circulatory arrest by 2 surgeons. All distal reconstructions were performed at moderate hypothermia (22°C–26°C) with direct cannulation of the innominate artery (IA) using a pediatric arterial cannula to allow ACP at 10–15 mL/kg/min. Data were collected by retrospective chart review. Results: Thirty-one of the 42 patients (74%) were male. The mean patient age was 65 ± 13 years, and the mean body surface area was 2.1 ± 0.3 m2. Proximal repairs included a modified Bentall with a valve-graft composite (n = 17), valve-sparing root replacement (n = 2), and aortic valve replacement (n = 15). Perioperative mortality was 2% (n = 1), and the incidence of stroke was 0%. The mean lowest core body temperature reached during circulatory arrest was 23.8 ± 2.7°C with a mean ACP time of 21.8 ± 3.6 minutes. The mean aortic cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times were 160.6 ± 55.5 minutes and 204.7 ± 57.5 minutes, respectively. There were no cases of IA injury. Conclusions: Direct IA cannulation with a pediatric arterial cannula is a safe and efficient method to allow ACP in aortic surgery requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest and may circumvent the potential complications of axillary cannulation.
