Abstract
The selection of the cannulation site and the operative scheme is essential to the preoperative preparation for the repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms. The site of cannulation will determine the mode of cardiopulmonary support and preparedness for deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. On rare occasions, optimal femoral venous access for establishing cardiopulmonary bypass is not possible. We present our experience with cannulation of the supradiaphragmatic inferior vena cava.
