Megaaorta and aortoiliac obstruction: alternate method of cannulation

Ann Thorac Surg. 1992 May;53(5):889-91. doi: 10.1016/0003-4975(92)91461-h.

Abstract

The case of a 69-year-old man with aneurysms of the ascending aorta, transverse aortic arch, and thoracoabdominal aorta combined with coronary artery disease, aortic insufficiency, and severe aortoiliac occlusive disease is presented. Femoral arterial cannulation was contraindicated owing to the aortoiliac disease. Successful surgical treatment is described using an alternate method of cannulation and perfusion.
