Abstract
Alternate cannulation strategies for open arch anastomoses are evolving with a trend toward using the innominate artery. These data suggest that innominate cannulation is at least equivalent to, and may be superior to, axillary cannulation. The innominate artery provides a larger conduit vessel for perfusion and this decrease in resistance to flow, allowing for faster cooling and rewarming, maybe why CPB times were lower in this group. Innominate cannulation is a safe and potentially advantageous technique for hemiarch repair.
