Abstract

We have previously introduced a blood delivery method via femoral artery cannulation to provide perfusion to the organs in the lower part of the body during pediatric aortic arch repair surgeries. In the original procedure, the femoral artery cannulation was performed after the patient had been covered with a sterile drape. Here, we suggest that the femoral artery cannulation should be performed before the patient is draped to allow optimal visibility of the target artery and puncture needle via aseptic real-time ultrasound-guided technique by reducing the inclusions between the patient's skin and ultrasound probe which attenuate the ultrasound beam.

Keywords
