Abstract

Surgery of acute type A dissection must be mandatorily performed with the aid of Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass (CPB). Perfusion techniques are numerous and their use may be determined or influenced by the surgeon’s preferences, the surgical team’s culture, the procedural strategy and tactics and, by the existing physiological and anatomical damages induced by the dissection. The CPB circuit must therefore be adapted to the chosen procedural method required by the local and patient’s conditions.

In this chapter we describe the various sites and techniques of arterial cannulation and discuss their various advantages and drawbacks.
