OBJECTIVE: The optimal choice of the arterial inflow site during operations for @entity1580 is not clearly defined. The aim of the prospective study was to identify whether cannulation of the right axillary artery instead of the femoral artery may improve the results of surgery for acute @entity1580 . METHODS: Seventy consecutive @entity1 were operated on because of acute @entity1580 from January 2000 to February 2002. The only difference in surgical strategy was the site of arterial cannulation: the right axillary artery was used in 20 @entity1 [axillary group] and the left femoral artery in 50 @entity1 [femoral group]. All @entity1 had aortic surgery with open distal anastomosis during @entity1167 and retrograde cerebral perfusion. The mean age was 58.7 +/- 12 years with a range from 28 to 88 years (axillary group, 56.6 +/- 13 years; femoral group, 59.4 +/- 12 years; P = 0.435). Preoperatively evident organ malperfusion was identified in five (25%) @entity1 of the axillary group and in seven (14%) of the femoral group. RESULTS: There was no perioperative @entity204 . The hospital mortality rate was 5.0% for the axillary group and 22% for the femoral group (all @entity1 , 17%). Major @entity16 occurred postoperatively in 5% of @entity1 from the axillary group (one out of 20 @entity1 ) and in 8% of @entity1 from the femoral group (four out of 50 @entity1 ) (all @entity1 , 7%). CONCLUSION: Cannulation of the right axillary artery improved the outcome of surgery for acute @entity1580 . However, @entity260 occurred after both @entity2096 .
