Hybrid extracorporeal cannulation for aortic root pseudoaneurysm re-operation: The role of a multidisciplinary team.

Abstract

Introduction: Adequate cerebral protection for aortic reoperation is challenging and optimal technique is still controversial.Case Report: We report a hybrid cannulation approach to achieve safe cerebral protection during circulatory arrest to repair an aortic root pseudoaneurysm.Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach combining conventional techniques and interventional expertise could be considered in complex aortic scenario.
