Background The femoral artery has been widely used to obtain arterial access for cardiopulmonary bypass in type A aortic dissection. However, retrograde perfusion from the femoral artery sometimes causes serious complications, including organ malperfusion and embolism. Since October 2004, transapical aortic cannulation technique was introduced in our institute. CVC Nagasaki kouseikai HP
Material and Method January, 2000 ~ November, 2009 56 cases: Acute type A Aortic dissection Age: 72±9 years old Male:Female 20:36 Femoral artery cannulation (FA group), 32 cases Transapical aortic cannulation (TAA group), 24 cases All cases were performed graft replacement of ascending aorta under hypothermic circulatory arrest *Exclusion: arch replacement, root replacement and concomitant procedures CVC Nagasaki kouseikai HP

Complications • FA group 1 caseWound infection • TAA group 1 casePseudoaneurysm at cannulation site → Size reduction by follow up cardiac echo CVC Nagasaki kouseikai HP
Conclusions • Transapical aortic cannulation is a safe, fast technique to establish cardiopulmonary bypass in a hemodynamically unstable patient with acute type A aortic dissection. • The postoperative morbidity and mortality for the two groups were comparable. • TAA cannulation does not affect postoperative cardiac function and compares favorably with FA cannulation.
