A Tailored Strategy for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: Is It Really Necessary?
This study, conducted at a specialized aortic surgery center, examines the short- and long-term outcomes of surgical repair for type A aortic dissection based on whether a conservative or more extensive repair strategy was chosen.
Axillary or Femoral Arterial Cannulation in Postcardiotomy Extracorporeal Life Support: Unresolved Dilemma?
This study aimed to evaluate the type and incidence of complications based on the selected peripheral cannulation site (femoral or axillary) in patients requiring postcardiotomy extracorporeal life support (PC-ECLS).
