Comparison of outcomes between axillary and femoral artery cannulation for type A aortic dissection surgery.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo compare the application and outcomes of femoral versus axillary arterial cannulation in adult patients undergoing surgery for type A aortic dissection.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of 108 patients who underwent surgery for type A aortic dissection, dividing them into two groups based on the type of arterial cannulation utilized: the femoral artery cannulation group (n = 53) and the axillary artery cannulation group (n = 55). We assessed their general condition, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and the occurrence of major postoperative complications. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify independent predictors of mortality risk factors.
resultsThe operative mortality rates were comparable between the two groups, with axillary cannulation at 18.1% and femoral cannulation at 15.1%. Multivariate logistic analysis identified age (70 years or older) and prolonged extracorporeal cardiopulmonary bypass time (250 min or more) as independent risk factors for surgical mortality. The rates of early stroke, renal injury, and cognitive dysfunction were similar in both groups.
conclusionThe findings indicate that femoral and axillary arterial cannulation yield similar outcomes in patients with acute type A aortic dissection. The choice of cannulation site should be individualized based on each patient's specific risk factors. Additionally, preoperative hemodynamic instability, the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and a high body mass index (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) are independent predictors of operative mortality.
