The aim of this randomized trial is to investigate the groin complications in open vs percutaneous peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive cardiac surgery
Full description
The femoral artery (FA) and vein (FV) are considered the preferred site for peripheral cannulation during cardiac surgery. Normally, a small incision is made to access the FA and FV, which is also called open surgical cannulation. Afterwards, the incision site is traditionally closed with sutures (1, 2). However, groin complications such as hematoma, access-site infection and fistulas are complications that can eventually lead to a longer hospital stay (3).
Recently, suture-mediated closure systems (SMCS) have been developed to achieve hemostasis (4). This allows for percutaneous cannulation. Still, little is known about the effects on groin complications after percutaneous cannulation in cardiac surgery. Therefore, a prospective randomized study is now being conducted to investigate the groin complications in open vs. percutaneous peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
