Even in cases where intrathoracic cannulation possible, better accessible than axillary artery. Furthermore, its wall as delicate or easily injured. Interruption arterial flow during crossclamping can be avoided by using intraluminal shunt; however, this should only rarely necessary, anastomosis with graft usually takes few minutes. Interest site has recently increased, although most it was used for perfusion upper half body simultaneous femoral technique left described offers simple installation cardiopulmonary bypass antegrade mostly without necessity separate access addition to median sternotomy. possibility selective cerebral extensive operations on aortic arch. Thanks absence complete interruption perfusion, minimizes risk air embolism avoids disadvantages deep hypothermia. References
