The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel bidirectional cannula (BiflowTM, LivaNova, Italy) with specific design to ensure stable distal perfusion compared to conventional cannula with downstream line in patients undergoing femoral arterial cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass during minimally invasive surgery
Full description
The femoral artery is a common site for peripheral cannulation in patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures (MICS), redo cardiac surgical procedures, and procedures involving the thoracic aorta Limb ischemia is the most common acute and late vascular complication and has been reported in 10% to 70% of patients Traditional methods to maintain distal perfusion include the use of a downstream cannula or sewing on a side graft, but these techniques are cumbersome, time-consuming, and require additional equipment As a result, current practice is relying on the very small volume of blood that will flow around the cannula and collateral circulation to keep the leg viable, but by the time ischemia is clinically evident, irreversible cell damage may have already occurred The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel bidirectional cannula (BiflowTM, LivaNova, Italy) with specific design to ensure stable distal perfusion compared to conventional cannula with downstream line in patients undergoing femoral arterial cannulation for CPB during MICS
