Registration Number
NCT05598385
Lead Sponsor
Jessa Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized trial is to investigate the groin complications in open vs percutaneous peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive cardiac surgery

Detailed Description

The femoral artery (FA) and vein (FV) are considered the preferred site for peripheral cannulation during cardiac surgery. Normally, a small incision is made to access the FA and FV, which is also called open surgical cannulation. Afterwards, the incision site is traditionally closed with sutures (1, 2). However, groin complications such as hematoma, access-site infection and fistulas are complications that can eventually lead to a longer hospital stay (3).

Recently, suture-mediated closure systems (SMCS) have been developed to achieve hemostasis (4). This allows for percutaneous cannulation. Still, little is known about the effects on groin complications after percutaneous cannulation in cardiac surgery. Therefore, a prospective randomized study is now being conducted to investigate the groin complications in open vs. percutaneous peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with groin complicationsUntil 30 days postoperatively

Groin complications consist of groin-related bleeding, dissection, pseudoaneurysm, seroma, infection of the groin, artery occlusion, and reintervention in the groin. Groin complications are diagnosed by an ultrasound.
