Abstract
OBJECTIVES Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) reportedly improves the identification of the papilla of Vater for selective biliary cannulation compared with white light imaging (WLI). This multicenter study evaluated the efficacy of short-type single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted biliary cannulation using a new-generation image-enhanced endoscopy processing system equipped with TXI in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastrectomy. METHODS Patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy with a native papilla, and underwent short SBE-assisted biliary cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-related procedures between January 2019 and April 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Outcomes of biliary cannulation using TXI and WLI were compared. The primary outcome was time to successful biliary cannulation. RESULTS Thirty-three patients underwent biliary cannulation with TXI and 98 underwent WLI. The biliary cannulation success rates and median time to successful biliary cannulation with TXI and WLI were 93.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 79.8-99.3%) and 83.7% (95% CI 74.8-90.4%), respectively (P = 0.14), and 10 min (interquartile range [IQR] 2.5-23.5) and 18 min (IQR 9.75-24), respectively (P = 0.04). Biliary cannulation with TXI required a shorter cannulation time than that required with WLI. Adverse event rates with TXI and WLI did not differ significantly (P = 0.58). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the use of TXI and short length of oral protrusion were associated with a shorter successful biliary cannulation time. CONCLUSION Short SBE-assisted biliary cannulation was effective and safe on TXI in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastrectomy, and achieved shorter successful biliary cannulation time.

Abstract
Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a cardiovascular emergency and has high mortality and morbidity. We retrospectively compared the effects on outcomes of single arterial cannulation via axillary artery (AAC) with double arterial cannulation via axillary and femoral artery (DAC) in patients who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for ATAAD.Methods: Between January 2017 and May 2021, four hundred 29 patients who underwent aortic arch repair with circulatory arrest for ATAAD were divided into AAC group (n = 283) and DAC group (n = 146). The propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis were performed to compare the characteristics and outcomes of the groups.Results: After PSM (n = 137 in each), the DAC group had a longer duration of CPB (229 vs 244, p = 0.011), aortic cross-clamp time (121 vs 149, p < 0.001), durations of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay (7 vs 8, p = 0.014) and hospital stay (19 vs 25, p < 0.001) compared with AAC group. The incidences of dialysis (21% vs. 31%, p = 0.073), postoperative stroke (9% vs 15%, p = 0.143), ECMO support (2% vs 7%, p = 0.077), in-hospital mortality (7% vs 14%, p = 0.071) and follow-up mortality (10% vs 19%, p = 0.059) showed no significant difference between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed postoperative ECMO (OR: 16.69, 95% CI: 1.78-156.29; p = 0.014) or stroke (OR: 11.34, 95% CI: 2.64-48.72; p < 0.001) were associated with in-hospital mortality. Univariate Cox regression results showed stroke history (OR: 4.61, 95% CI: 1.90-11.16; p = 0.001), aortic valvuloplasty (OR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.07-0.59; p = 0.003), postoperative ALT day1 (OR: 1.00, 95% CI: 1.00-1.00; p = 0.008), ECMO (OR: 16.30, 95% CI: 4.78-55.61; p < 0.001), tracheotomy (OR: 3.78, 95% CI: 1.08-13.20; p = 0.037), postoperative stroke (OR: 4.61, 95% CI: 1.90-11.16; p < 0.001) and re-exploration for bleeding (OR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.01-12.27; p = 0.048) were associated to follow-up mortality.Conclusions: For surgical treatment of ATAAD with CPB when compared to double axillary and femoral artery, single axillary cannulation was associated with shorter durations of CPB and ACC as well as ICU and hospital stays but no with significant difference in mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients usually feel pain when a needle is inserted into the fistula. This acute pain can be relieved by acupressure, which is a nonpharmacological application method. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to explore the effect of acupressure application to the Hegu point on the severity of acute pain caused by fistula needle insertion in patients with antecubital arteriovenous fistula. DESIGN It is a randomised control study. PARTICIPANTS The study was conducted with 32 intervention and 32 control patients, recruited from a dialysis centre of a foundation university in Turkey between October 2021 and January 2022. MEASUREMENTS Acupressure was applied 3 min before needle placement in the fistula area of the patients in the experimental group. RESULT While there was no decrease in the severity of acute pain during fistula needle insertion in the patients in the control group, there was a significant decrease in the mean acute pain severity scores experienced by the patients in the experimental group, whose Hegu point acupressure was applied. CONCLUSION The results of this study support the effectiveness of Hegu point acupressure as an effective and low-cost way to reduce the acute pain of needle insertion put on dialysis patients with a fistula. In addition, the results provide a practical reference for acute pain management for dialysis nurses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of end-stage chronic renal failure involves substantial costs for health care, which could be higher considering hemodialysis access complications management costs. Complications could be addressed by cannulation technique, but also by the needle. In particular, the use of a metal needle for cannulation is responsible for several complications that compromise dialysis delivery and require interventions. This analysis aims to evaluate, from a hospital perspective, the direct costs related to complications that may occur in hemodialysis patients in Italy. METHODS To identify the main complications to consider in our analysis and related patient pathway for their management, we conducted an international literature search on PubMed and validated the data for Italy with an Italian Key Opinion Leader (KOL). A micro-costing analysis was developed to precisely assess the economic costs of healthcare interventions to manage complications due to vascular access cannulation. RESULTS The major complications identified, and the average cost/per episode for their management are the following ones: Local infection € 1455 (min € 745 and max € 2160); Sepsis, that requires hospitalization in ward € 4401 (min € 3693 and max € 4623); Sepsis (ICU) € 17,190; Hematoma € 304 (min € 252 and max € 728); Aneurysm € 3632 (min € 3139 and max € 4014); Pseudoaneurysm € 3695 (min € 3615 and max € 4014); Stenosis € 2229 (min € 1874 and max € 4857); Thrombosis € 2151 (min € 1941 and max € 3395). CONCLUSIONS In making decisions, hospital administration, and payer should take into consideration, not just the price of devices, but the entire patient's pathway. The use of plastic cannulae in hemodialysis patients shows improved outcomes compared to traditional metal needles. Furthermore, combining it with accurate and efficient cannulation techniques reduces complication rates, improves patients' quality of life, and reduces healthcare resource consumption.

Abstract
Cardiac surgeries often require the use of cardiopulmonary bypass to allow visualization and manipulation of tissues. Vascular anomalies may impose challenges with access configuration. A patient was evaluated for robot-assisted mitral valve repair and found to have an atretic inferior vena cava secondary due to chronic occlusion. The patient was cannulated arterially through the left common femoral artery, and two cannulation sites were applied for venous drainage: the right intrajugular vein and a second percutaneous access site directly into the right atrium through the chest wall. The procedure was completed without immediate complications, and the patient's perioperative course was unremarkable.

Abstract
Objective Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced life support that has been utilized in the neonate for refractory respiratory and circulatory failure. Striving for the best outcomes and understanding optimal surgical techniques continue to be at the forefront of discussion and research. This study presents a single-center experience of cervically cannulated neonatal patients on V-A ECMO, a description of our cannulation/decannulation techniques and our patient outcomes. Methods Single center retrospective review of neonates who received neck V-A ECMO support from January 2012 to December 2022. The data and outcomes of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 78 neonates received V-A ECMO support. There were 66 patients that received ECMO for respiratory support, the other 12 patients that received ECMO for cardiac support. The median duration of ECMO support was 109 (32-293) hours for all patients. During ECMO support, 20 patients died and 5 patients discontinued treatment due to poor outcome or the cost. A total of 53 (68%) patients were successfully weaned from ECMO, but 3 of them died in the subsequent treatment. Overall 50 (64%) patients survived to hospital discharge. In this study, 48 patients were cannulated using the vessel sparing technique, the other 30 patients were cannulated using the ligation technique. We found no significant difference in the rates of normal cranial MRI at discharge between survivors with and without common carotid artery ligation. Conclusion We achieved satisfactory outcomes of neonatal ECMO in 11-year experience. This study found no significant difference in early neuroimaging between survivors with and without common carotid artery ligation. The long-term neurological function of ECMO survivors warranted further follow-up and study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral venous cannulation is one of the most common procedures in medicine. A larger cannula allows higher rates of fluid to be provided if needed in a deteriorating patient; however, it is also perceived that larger-gauge cannula placement is associated with increased pain and procedural difficulty. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the pain and procedural difficulty experienced during insertion between 18-gauge (18G) and 20-gauge (20G) cannulas. METHODS We conducted a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial on adult patients who required peripheral IV cannulation within a tertiary hospital emergency department between April and October 2018. Patients were randomized to either the 18G or 20G cannula group. The primary outcomes of the study-pain experienced by patients and procedural difficulties experienced by clinical staff-were recorded on two separate 10-cm visual analog scales. Other outcomes include first-attempt success rate, operator designation, complications, and the intent and actual use of the IV cannula were documented on preformatted questionnaires. RESULTS Data from 178 patients were included in the analysis. Eighty-nine patients were allocated to each cannula group. There were no statistically or clinically significant differences between mean pain score (0.23; 95% CI 0.56-1.02; p = 0.5662) and mean procedural difficulty score (0.12; 95% CI 0.66-0.93; p = 0.7396). between the two groups. There was no difference in first-attempt success rate (73 of 89 vs. 75 of 89; p = 0.1288), complications (2 of 89 vs. 1 of 89) between the 20G group and 18G group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There was no significant difference between the 18G or 20G cannula for either pain experienced by patients or procedural difficulty experienced by clinicians.

Abstract
Introduction In today's healthcare environment, peripheral venous cannulations are frequently performed procedures. Bloodstream infections could occur as a result of the intrusive operation. Peripheral venous cannulas should be inserted and managed according to specific rules. This study compared these standards to the peripheral venous cannulation procedure and results at a teaching hospital institution. Materials and Methods This study investigated the procedure and results of peripheral venous cannulation in a teaching center using a prospectively completed audit loop study. The "Royal College of Nursing's criteria for infusion therapy" is one such set of recommendations. After the first phase of the observations, the audit was conducted. Later, after 4 months based on the recommendations, the personnel received training on a variety of cannulation-related topics and the second set of observations for the cannulations was performed. Both observations were made and compared for significance that was considered at. 05 using the ANOVA. Results During the first phase of the research, 212 cannulations were made, and 314 were made for the second phase to be audited. In the reaudit compared with the initial audit, there was a statistically substantial surge in documentation, cannula cleansing, glove use, suitable site selection, and hand cleanliness, according to comparative exploration. Moreover, there was a statistically substantial decline in recannulations. Conclusion Even though peripheral intravenous cannulation is a straightforward process, if done incorrectly, it might have serious side effects. Such techniques' auditing reveals performance flaws. Reaudit results reveal a noticeable increase in performance and outcome following proper personnel retraining.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may require renal replacement therapy even after decannulation. However, data regarding transition from ECMO cannulation to a hemodialysis catheter in pediatric patients is not currently available. METHODS Patients <18 years old who had an ECMO cannula exchanged for a hemodialysis catheter during decannulation at a tertiary care children's center from January 2011 to September 2022 were identified. Data was collected from the electronic medical record. RESULTS A total of 10 patients were included. The cohort was predominantly male (80.0%, n = 8) with a median age of 1 day (IQR 1.0, 24.0). All ECMO cannulations were veno-arterial in the right common carotid artery and internal jugular vein. The median time on ECMO was 8.5 days (IQR 6.0, 15.0). One patient had the venous cannula exchanged for a tunneled hemodialysis catheter during decannulation, two were transitioned to peritoneal dialysis, and seven had the temporary hemodialysis catheter converted to a tunneled catheter by Interventional Radiology (when permanent access was required) at a median time of 10 days (IQR 8.0, 12.5). Of these 7 patients, 28.6% (n = 2) developed catheter-associated infection within 30 days of replacement, with one requiring catheter replacement. Transient bloodstream infection occurred in 10.0% (n = 1) within 30 days of ECMO cannula exchange. CONCLUSION Venous ECMO cannula exchange for a hemodialysis catheter in children requiring renal replacement therapy after decannulation is possible as a bridge to a permanent hemodialysis or peritoneal catheter if renal function does not recover, while supporting vein preservation.

Abstract
We present a case of a patient with inferior myocardial infarction (MI) and anomalous left main artery originating from the right coronary sinus. The left main artery and right coronary artery originated from the right coronary sinus but with separate ostia. The patient underwent revascularization of the right coronary artery with balloon angioplasty and a drug-eluting stent. Despite being rare, these anomalies can be life-threatening depending on the course of the artery, and when atherosclerotic disease is present, a revascularization strategy can be challenging. Knowing the existence of the left main artery anomaly is important to choose the right guide catheter to achieve successful cannulation and decrease the risk of complications, radiation exposure, and contrast usage.

Abstract
Artificial breeding was induced in the pufferfish Arothron manilensis following ultrasonographic sex determination. Hormonal treatment of mature male and female specimens followed the collection (and measurement) of fully developed eggs by cannulation. Fertilized eggs (0.85 ± 0.02 mm diameter) were spherical, demersal and individually adhesive. Hatching occurred 5 days after fertilization, larvae being 2.23 ± 0.15 mm in total length and 2.08 ± 0.14 mm in notochord length. The larvae had all died within 14 days of hatching. To improve artificial breeding techniques for A. manilensis, it is necessary to determine more appropriate timing for hormone injection, as well as feeding nutrient-enhanced SS type Brachionus sp. to newly hatched larvae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In adult patients, there has never been an evaluation of short-axis out-of-plane versus long-axis in-plane approaches of ultrasound-guided dorsalis pedis artery cannulation. This research was conducted to compare these two techniques to cannulate the dorsal pedis artery. METHODS In this trial, 128 adult patients undergoing surgery and necessitating arterial cannulation were examined. Dorsalis pedis artery cannulation was performed utilizing an ultrasound by long-axis in-plane approach (group L) or short-axis out-of-plane (group S) techniques. RESULTS Group S had a higher first attempt success rate than group L (46.9% vs 28.6%, p = 0.039). The S group had a lower assessment time than the L group (11.48 ± 3.07 vs 19.68 ± 2.79 s; p = 0.000). Cannulation time was higher in the S group (18.91 ± 1.92 s) compared to the L group (12.48 ± 1.61 s; p = 0.000). Nevertheless, the total procedure time was comparable between the L group and the S group (32.16 ± 2.95 vs 30.42 ± 4.07 s; p = 0.107). CONCLUSIONS In adults, both views of ultrasonography can be used to guide DPA cannulation. The cannulation time for the DPA in L group was less than the S group, whereas the assessment time was less in S group. The total procedure time, however, was similar between both the groups.

Abstract
AIM To explore nurses' perceptions of using point-of-care ultrasound for assessment and guided cannulation in the haemodialysis setting. BACKGROUND Cannulation of arteriovenous fistulae is necessary to perform haemodialysis. Damage to the arteriovenous fistula is a frequent complication, resulting in poor patient outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Point-of-care ultrasound-guided cannulation can reduce the risk of such damage and mitigate further vessel deterioration. Understanding nurses' perceptions of using this adjunct tool will inform its future implementation into haemodialysis practice. DESIGN Descriptive qualitative study. METHODS Registered nurses were recruited from one 16-chair regional Australian haemodialysis clinic. Eligible nurses were drawn from a larger study investigating the feasibility of implementing point-of-care ultrasound in haemodialysis. Participants attended a semistructured one-on-one interview where they were asked about their experiences with, and perceptions of, point-of-care ultrasound use in haemodialysis cannulation. Audio-recorded data were transcribed and inductively analysed. FINDINGS Seven of nine nurses who completed the larger study participated in a semistructured interview. All participants were female with a median age of 54 years (and had postgraduate renal qualifications. Themes identified were as follows: (1) barriers to use of ultrasound; (2) deficit and benefit recognition; (3) cognitive and psychomotor development; and (4) practice makes perfect. Information identified within these themes were that nurses perceived that their experience with point-of-care ultrasound was beneficial but recommended against its use for every cannulation. The more practice nurses had with point-of-care ultrasound, the more their confidence, dexterity and time management improved. CONCLUSIONS Nurses perceived that using point-of-care ultrasound was a positive adjunct to their cannulation practice and provided beneficial outcomes for patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE Haemodialysis clinics seeking to implement point-of-care ultrasound to help improve cannulation outcomes may draw on these findings when embarking on this practice change. REPORTING METHOD This study is reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ). PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Patients were not directly involved in this part of the study; however, they were involved in the implementation study. TRIAL AND PROTOCOL REGISTRATION The larger study was registered with Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12617001569392 (21/11/2017) https://anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id=373963&isReview=true.

Abstract
Introduction Needle-related distress is common among people receiving hemodialysis and affects quality of life and treatment decisions, yet little evidence exists to guide management. This study explored patients' experiences of needle-related distress to inform the development of prevention, identification, and management strategies. Methods Semistructured interviews concerning dialysis cannulation, needle-related distress, and potential solutions were conducted with people with current or recent experience of hemodialysis (N = 15) from a tertiary hospital-based service. Interviews ceased at thematic saturation. Transcripts were analyzed thematically. Results There were 4 themes and 11 subthemes generated: (i) uncovering a hidden source of distress (dismissal and minimization by others; suffering in silence to stay alive; preparation, assessment, and education); (ii) coping with cannulation pain and trauma (interaction between physical damage, pain, and distress; operator dependency-the importance of nurse skill and technique); (iii) the environment created by dialysis nurses (emotional transference; communication during cannulation; valuing empathy and person-centered care; a psychosocially supportive dialysis unit); and (iv) supporting patient self-management of distress (accessing tools to help themselves; distraction to reduce distress). Conclusion Needle-related distress is an often-hidden element of the hemodialysis experience. Patients learn to tolerate it as an inevitable part of dialysis for survival. Nurses' technical skills and the dialysis environment they create are key determinants of the patient cannulation experience. Proposed solutions include psychological screening, education for patients to self-manage distress, and training for nurses in communication and providing relevant psychological support.

Abstract
Cannulation and placement of the contralateral stent graft limb during endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedure are crucial steps as mispositioning may lead to conversion to open aortic repair. Endovascular bail-out strategies for stent graft relocation in EVAR are underreported though detailed knowledge may facilitate application and prevent conversion. We present three endovascular bail-out strategies for repositioning of a mispositioned contralateral stent graft limb. (1) Retraction of the mispositioned component with an inflated reliant balloon and placement of an interposition stent graft after successful cannulation; (2) Push-maneuver of the mispositioned stent graft into the infrarenal aortic aneurysm with an inflated reliant balloon supported by a large lumen introducer sheath and (3) Parallel placement of a second contralateral stent graft limb displacing the mispositioned one against the atrial wall in cases with adequate vessel diameter. Prevention of stent graft mispositioning by applying recognized tests to ensure correct placement are essential, following the slogan: check twice, deploy once.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound guidance for radial arterial cannulation is currently considered a best practice approach despite its clear advantages over the blind and palpation technique, the success rate is related to several factors, including clinician's experience and technical ability. The study aimed to explore the use of a novel track guidance ultrasound that may increase the success rate of radial arterial cannulation. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was conducted, in which 80 adults scheduled for elective surgery requiring radial arterial cannulation were recruited and randomly assigned to either the experimental group, which utilized novel track ultrasound guidance (group T, n = 40), or the control group, which utilized traditional ultrasound guidance (group U, n = 40). The novel track guidance ultrasound comprises a positioning track and a guided track. The radial artery could be positioned at the center of the positional track on the ultrasound image, and the direction and angle of needle are fixed and toward the center of the positioning track. The primary endpoint of the study was the first-pass cannulation success rate, while the secondary endpoints included the failure rate of cannulation, the number of radial artery punctures, the time of cannulation, and the incidence of hematoma. RESULTS The success rate of cannulation at the first attempt in group T (35 of 40 (87.5%)) was significantly higher than that in group U (23 of 40 (57.5%); p = 0.003). Although seven patients in Group U (7 of 40 (17.5%)) experienced failed cannulation compared to one in Group T (1 of 40 (2.5%)), the difference in failure rate between the two groups did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS The implementation of novel track ultrasound guidance has demonstrated a notable improvement in the success rates at the first attempt while reducing the frequency of punctures and cannulation times.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A key skill of nephrology nursing is cannulation of patients receiving haemodialysis. Traumatic and unsuccessful cannulation experiences, particularly in the initial weeks of haemodialysis, may contribute to the onset of needle distress for patients. OBJECTIVES To identify the key knowledge, skills and attitudes of nephrology nurses working with haemodialysis patients and the competencies relevant to nephrology nursing working with patients with needle-related distress. DESIGN A qualitative study involving semistructured interviews. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and deductive, and inductive thematic analysis applied. PARTICIPANTS Nephrology nurses (n = 17) were interviewed from a tertiary kidney service in South Australia. Nurses had varying roles and years of experience (range 1-30 years) working with dialysis patients within the service. RESULTS Two overarching themes, (1) Flexibility in Practice and Care and (2) Responsibility of Nephrology Nursing, were identified as relevant across all knowledge, skills and attitudes of nephrology nurses working with patients with needle-related distress. Thirty-six knowledge, skills and attitudes were identified; 12 related to knowledge, 14 related to skills and 10 were identified as attitudes and were summarised under seven broad competencies. CONCLUSION This study identifies potential knowledge, skills and attitudes and competencies required for nephrology nurses working with patients with needle-related distress. It highlights strategies that may prevent the onset and worsening of needle-related distress, as well as reduce it. It also brings to light that nurses desire additional education regarding strategies to improve the patient experience of cannulation and nurse confidence and skill in this area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) cannulation strategy in patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock is still debatable. Studies evaluating the effect of cannulation strategy on long-term survival are scarce. OBJECTIVES We investigated the impact of central versus peripheral cannulation strategy for ECMO insertion on hospital outcomes and survival in postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock patients. METHODS This retrospective study involved 101 patients who had either central or peripheral ECMO due to postcardiotomy shock between June 2009 and December 2020. Study endpoints were limb ischemia, bleeding, blood transfusion, wound infection, and overall survival. RESULTS Eighty-four patients received central (c) ECMO, and 17 patients had peripheral (p) ECMO. In the group of pECMO, limb ischemia was significantly higher (5 [29.41%] vs 6 [7.14%]; p = .01). Other endpoints were similar in both groups. Thirty-day mortality was nonsignificantly different between both cohorts (cECMO 34 [41.67%] vs pECMO 10 [58.82%]; p = .29). However, overall survival was better with cECMO (Log-rank p = .02). Patients' age [HR: 1.04 (95% CI: 1.02-1.06); p = .001], pECMO [HR: 1.98 (95% CI: 1.11-3.55), p = .002] and presence of infective endocarditis [HR: 3.54 (95% CI: 1.52-8.24), p = .03] were significant predictors of overall mortality. CONCLUSIONS Peripheral ECMO was associated with an increased risk of limb ischemia; however, bleeding, blood transfusion, infection, and 30-day mortality were comparable to central ECMO. Central cannulation was associated with a better 1-year survival rate. Therefore, central cannulation might be the preferred strategy for patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is generally performed with bi/trimodular stent-grafts requiring retrograde contralateral gate cannulation (CGC). In the case of tricky CGC, an increased EVAR procedural time and radiation exposure have been reported. Herein, we compare the outcomes of conventional CGC and CGC using the speed gate cannulation (SGC) technique in standard EVAR for a propensity-matched cohort. METHODS A total of 371 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Inclusion criteria were fulfilled in 172 patients who underwent propensity score matching. Primary outcomes included operative time, CGC time, mean contrast medium, fluoroscopy time, and CGC fluoroscopy time. RESULTS After matching, 78 patients were included in each group (SGC vs. standard). Primary outcomes registered a significant reduction in CGC time (4 [1-6] vs. 8 [6-14] min; p = 0.001) and fluoroscopy time (12 [9-16] vs. 17 [12-25] min). CONCLUSIONS In this preliminary experiment, the use of SGC was feasible with no significant registered postoperative complications. A significant reduction in contrast medium usage, radiation exposure, and CGC time was observed with the use of SGC. SGC is a simple adjunctive technique, and its use should be considered in standard EVAR, especially in emergency scenarios, where time is of the essence.

Abstract
Background and Objective In thoracic surgery, different modalities of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) can be used for cardiorespiratory support in complex scenarios. Decades of learning in clinical practice and physiology associated with technological development led to a great variety of ECLS technologies available. Thoracic surgery procedures with difficult or impossible single lung ventilation may still be performed using different ECLS modalities. The aim of this review is to describe the use of ECLS, with its different modalities, as a solution to perform complex surgeries in a patient with difficult or impossible single lung ventilation. Methods A literature review was conducted using the terms "extracorporeal life support pulmonary resection" and "extracorporeal life support thoracic surgery", and articles were selected according to defined criteria. Key Content and Findings To support lung function during thoracic surgery, the most efficient and popular variety of ECLS is venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Lung resection on a single lung after pneumonectomy, surgery in a patient with severe hypercapnia and/or low respiratory reserve, carinal and airway surgery, and severe thoracic trauma are the main examples of situations where ECLS may be the solution to provide a safe surgical environment in patients who cannot tolerate single lung ventilation. Multidisciplinarity, selection of patients and careful surgical planning are cornerstones in defining the situations that may benefit from ECLS support. Conclusions Knowledge on techniques of ECLS are essential for every thoracic surgeon. Although rarely used, these techniques of cardiorespiratory support should be considered when planning complex cases with difficulties in ventilation and emergent situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard cannulation practice for hemodialysis consists of inserting needles "blindly" through skin into an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which is more likely to cause damage. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) guided cannulation has potential for less damage; however, efficacy of this technique has not been explored. Our purpose was to test the feasibility and effectiveness of POCUS guidance for cannulation of AVFs in hemodialysis patients. METHODS A random-order crossover research design was used; patients and nurses acted as their own control. Sample included 13 patients with functioning AVFs and 9 nurses, recruited from a single hemodialysis center. All nurses cannulated all patients using standard and POCUS-guided cannulation. Data were collected at each cannulation (time taken, nurse position, probe direction, pressures, patient satisfaction, pain scores). Ultrasound images of needle position were collected from which needle tip locations inside vessels were measured. Nurses were surveyed at three timepoints and were interviewed at conclusion of data collection. Analysis involved linear mixed-models for clinical data, descriptive statistics for binary and feasibility data, and content analysis for interview data. RESULTS Eleven patients and seven nurses completed. Protocol adherence was 94.4%. Two miscannulations occurred, both during standard cannulation. Cannulation time using POCUS guidance was significantly higher than standard cannulation (p = 0.008, 95% CI 39-166). All other variables showed no statistically significant difference. Content analysis of interview data showed cultural shift toward use of POCUS; nurses gained confidence and become more proficient in their POCUS technique. CONCLUSIONS Random-order crossover is a feasible design to measure differences in POCUS-guided and standard cannulation. It is also feasible to implement POCUS into hemodialysis centers and whilst POCUS guidance takes longer, nurses become more proficient, and confident with persistent use.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cannulation is an essential part of haemodialysis with arteriovenous access. Patients' experiences of cannulation for haemodialysis are problematic but poorly understood. This review aims to synthesise findings related to patients' experiences of cannulation for haemodialysis from qualitative studies, providing a fuller description of this phenomenon. METHODS Eligibility criteria defined the inclusion of studies with a population of patients with end-stage kidney disease on haemodialysis. The phenomena of interest was findings related to patients' experiences of cannulation for haemodialysis and the context was both in-centre and home haemodialysis. MedLine, CINAHL, EMBASE, EMCARE, BNI, PsycInfo and PubMed were last searched between 20/05/2019 and 23/05/2019. The quality of studies was assessed using the using Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research. Meta-aggregation was used to synthesise findings and CERQual to assess the strength of accumulated findings. RESULTS This review included 26 studies. The subject of included studies covered cannulation, pain, experiences of vascular access, experiences of haemodialysis and a research priority setting exercise. From these studies, three themes were meta-aggregated: (1) Cannulation for haemodialysis is an unpleasant, abnormal and unique procedure associated with pain, abnormal appearance, vulnerability and dependency. (2) The necessity of cannulation for haemodialysis emphasises the unpleasantness of the procedure. Success had multiple meanings for patients and patients worry about whether the needle insertion will be successful. (3) Patients survive unpleasant, necessary and repetitive cannulation by learning to tolerate cannulation and exerting control over the procedure. Feeling safe can help them tolerate cannulation better and the cannulator can invoke feeling safe. However, some patients still avoid cannulation, due to its unpleasantness. CONCLUSIONS Cannulation is a pervasive procedure that impacts on patients' experiences of haemodialysis. This review illuminates further patients' experiences of cannulation for haemodialysis, indicating how improvements can be made to cannulation. REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42019134583).

Abstract
A proper management and tailored interventions represented two fundamental steps to ensure a long-term use of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF). AVF failure can be attributed to various factors, with stenosis being the most common cause. Different techniques are employed for treating complications, but percutaneous endovascular procedures are the most widely used. In addition to angioplasty (PTA), the possibility of utilizing stents, particularly stent grafts (SG), has further improved outcomes. However, the insertion of these devices involves commitment to a segment of the vessel, which may vary in length, making the indication necessitate a careful evaluation. The positioning of a stent graft indeed limits the space for needle insertion, and on the other hand, the cannulation of the device is considered off-label according to technical specification. This work addresses the issue of puncturing these devices. Alongside a rapid overview, we describe a clinical case of continuous cannulation of a multiply stented AVF, for over 9 years, which opens up the discussion about the possibility of long-term cannulation through proper planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cannulation of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for hemodialysis (HD) has traditionally depended on the nurse's tactile sensation, which has been associated with suboptimal needle placement and detrimental effects on vascular access (VA) longevity. While the introduction of ultrasound (US) has proven beneficial in mapping the AVF outflow vein and assisting in cannulation planning, aneurysmal deformations remain a common occurrence resulting from various factors, including inadequate cannulation techniques. Within this context, the utilization of skin pigmentation as a clinical landmark has emerged as a potential approach to enhance cannulation planning in HD. METHODS A prospective longitudinal study was undertaken to investigate the correlation between the occurrence of venous morphological deformations and the cannulation technique guided by skin pigmentation after a 2-month period of implementation. RESULTS Thirty patients were enrolled in the study with 433 cannulations being described within the first 2 months of AVF use. The overall rate of cannulation-related adverse events was 21.9%. Comparative analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.001) between aneurysmal deformation and non-compliance with the proposed cannulation technique, resulting in cannulation outside the designated points. Non-compliance was primarily attributed to nurse's decision (57.1%). CONCLUSION The integration of US mapping of the AVF outflow vein and the utilization of skin pigmentation as a guiding tool have shown promising results in enhancing cannulation planning over time. Consistent adherence to a cannulation technique other than the area technique has been found to reduce the risk of AVF morphological deformation. These findings underscore the potential benefits of incorporating skin pigmentation as a clinical landmark in cannulation practices, highlighting its ability to impact positively cannulation outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This prospective randomized controlled study aimed to compare the ultrasound-guided (USG) technique with the standard single-wall puncture technique for epicutaneo-caval catheter (ECC) placement in neonates. STUDY DESIGN A total of 100 neonates were included in this study. All enrolled neonates were randomly divided into two groups (n = 50): the USG group and the control group. The control group underwent standard single-wall puncture for ECC placement procedures, and the USG group underwent USG ECC placement procedures. RESULTS The first attempt success rates (62 vs. 38%; p = 0.016) and the total success rates (92 vs. 74%; p = 0.017) were higher in the USG group than in the control group. The procedure time was shorter in the USG group than in the control group: 351.43 (112.95) versus 739.78 seconds (369.13), p < 0.001. The incidence of adverse events was not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Compared with the standard single-wall puncture method, USG cannulation is superior for neonatal ECC placement, with a higher success rate, and decreases the total procedural time. KEY POINTS · Establishing ECCs in neonates is challenging and lead to multiple attempts and adverse events.. · Information on the efficiency of USG dynamic needle tip positioning for ECCs in neonates is lacking.. · Compared with the standard puncture method, USG cannulation is superior for neonatal ECC placement..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE After creation, arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) and arteriovenous grafts (AVG) can undergo surgical or endovascular assisted maturation (AM) procedures to enable use for hemodialysis. We sought to explore the association of interventions with successful two-needle cannulation (TNC) using the United States Renal Data System (USRDS). METHODS Using the 2012-2017 USRDS, we identified patients initiating hemodialysis with tunneled dialysis catheters (TDC). Successful AVF/G use was defined as two-needle cannulation (TNC). Our principal outcome was time to first TNC after AVF/G creation. Death and new access placement were competing events that precluded TNC. Competing-risks regression models were constructed to identify factors associated with cannulation. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between AM procedures and 1-year TNC and also to compare post-cannulation outcomes. RESULTS Among 81,143 patients, 15,880 (19.6%) had AVG and 65,263 (80.4%) had AVF. AVG patients were more likely than AVF patients to achieve TNC at 1 year on unadjusted (77.4% vs 64.0%, p < 0.001) and on multivariate analysis (sHR = 2.56 (2.49-2.63), p < 0.001). For AVFs, one AM surgical procedure was associated with improved 1-year TNC rates, but further revisions were not helpful. Endovascular AM procedures were associated with increased AVF TNC rates. Any procedure, surgical or endovascular, was detrimental to achieving TNC for AVGs.Following initial TNC, those accesses that needed AM procedures were associated with higher rates of access failure (AVF: OR = 1.32 (1.21-1.45); AVG: OR = 1.77 (1.500-2.00); p < 0.001), catheter replacement (AVF: OR = 1.27 (1.20-1.34); AVG: OR = 1.56 (1.42-1.71), p < 0.001), and additional endovascular procedures (AVF: 0.75 ± 1.22 no AM vs 1.33 ± 1.62 any AM; AVG: 1.31 ± 1.77 no AM vs 1.96 ± 2.22 any AM; all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS AVG achieved TNC after creation more reliably than AVF. A single surgery or endovascular procedures for AVFs is associated with greater rates of TNC. For AVGs, any AM procedure is associated with lower cannulation rates, and reinforces the need for careful operative technique.

Procedural and patient characteristics were evaluated to better understand factors related to procedural success. RESULTS Ultrasound guided peripheral arterial cannulation had a first attempt success rate of 65% and an overall success rate of 86%. Success rates significantly differed by arterial location (p < 0.001). First attempt success and overall success were highest in the radial artery (72%, 91%) and lowest in the posterior tibial artery (44%, 71%). Success was more likely with greater age and greater weight (p = 0.006, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Success rates are high when using a real-time ultrasound-guided technique for peripheral arterial cannulation in infants. An infant's weight and selected artery are strong predictors of success when performing peripheral arterial cannulation. The use of procedural ultrasound may reduce unnecessary attempts and minimize procedure-related harm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial artery cannulation is usually done for monitoring invasive blood pressure during intraoperative period. The dynamic needle tip positioning approach allows continuous visualization of the needle tip during ultrasound-guided cannulation. The acoustic shadowing technique, using two lines on the ultrasound probe, might be used to facilitate radial artery puncture. We aimed to compare these two ultrasound-guided techniques of radial artery cannulation with the traditional palpation method in adult patients. METHODS In this trial, 180 adult patients requiring arterial cannulation were randomized into three groups (Traditional palpation (TP), Dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP), and acoustic shadow technique (AST)). All cannulations were carried out by experienced anesthetists. Data was analyzed for the success rate of arterial cannulation in the first attempt, total number of attempts in 5 min, time taken to cannulate, number of cannulas used, and complications related to the procedure. RESULTS The first attempt success rates among TP, DNTP, and AST were 66.7%, 66.7%, and 71.7%, respectively (p = 0.794). The median time taken for cannulation was 60.5 (37.0, 129.5) s, 71.0 (50.0, 170.0) s, and 108.0 (58.0, 181.0) s, respectively (p = 0.066) and the median number of cannulation attempts was 1, in all the three groups (p = 0.684). There was also no difference in the total number of cannulas used, the overall success rate of cannulation, and complications related to the procedure in the three groups. CONCLUSION The TP, DNTP, and AST technique for radial artery cannulation had comparable first attempt success rate, the time taken for cannulation, the number of cannulas used, and overall complications. We conclude that radial arterial cannulation by palpation, as well as ultrasound-guided DNTP and AST techniques performed by experienced clinicians in hemodynamically stable adult patients are equally advantageous.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arterial access in small-breed dogs is challenging, but arterial visualisation may facilitate the procedure, as evidenced in human medicine. This prospective, randomised study investigated the result of using transillumination to guide coccygeal artery cannulation in small-breed dogs. METHODS Coccygeal artery cannulation was attempted in dogs anaesthetised with butorphanol, midazolam, propofol and sevoflurane. In 70 dogs (standard technique group [STECHNIQUE group]), arterial cannulation was performed using pulse palpation. In 71 dogs (transilluminating-standard technique group [TSTECHNIQUE group]), a transilluminating device was utilised. The device was placed on the dorsal tail, and the cannula was advanced towards the dark line visible against the bright background. If the artery was not well visualised due to pigmentation, pulse palpation was used. The success rate of arterial cannulation was compared between the groups using the chi-squared test. RESULTS Arterial cannulation was significantly more successful (p < 0.001) in the TSTECHNIQUE group (63/71 [88.7%]) than in the STECHNIQUE group (43/70 [61.4%]). LIMITATIONS The number of punctures attempted and the time to cannulation were not assessed, and the procedure was only performed by veterinarians experienced in arterial cannulation. CONCLUSIONS The transillumination allows for a more accurate approach to the coccygeal artery, improving the success of arterial cannulation when combined with pulse palpation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the ease with which steerable sheaths, designed for cardiac electrophysiological applications, can be used to aid endovascular treatment of a wide range of non-cardiac vascular disease and to assist with target vessel cannulation in branched and fenestrated aortic grafts. METHODS A retrospective medical chart review was carried out to identify cases from a single vascular surgery unit (2019-2022) where the HeartSpan Steerable Sheath (HSS) (Merit Medical, South Jordan, UT, USA) was utilised to enable endovascular management of complex vascular pathology. A case presentation of branch graft insertion performed entirely via distal access is described and used to help identify pertinent sheath characteristics and technical considerations, and to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of the design for modified use in target vessel cannulation. RESULTS The HSS was used in the endovascular treatment of different vascular pathologies in 15 patients (23 target vessels) where access to the vessels using standard catheters and approaches was not possible. Cannulation and subsequent stenting were successful for 21 of the 23 target vessels in total. Of these cases, the HSS was used as an adjunct for deployment of fenestrated endovascular graft systems when conventional techniques for canulation of target vessels had failed on five occasions. On another four occasions, the HSS enabled full deployment of the entire Zenith® t-Branch™ Thoracoabdominal Endovascular Graft system from an exclusively femoral approach. An additional three cases involved use of the HSS for superior mesenteric artery cannulation in patients with mesenteric ischaemia. The device was also used once in each of the following cases: contralateral common iliac cannulation, cannulation of contralateral internal iliac artery for coil embolisation, and access of a contralateral iliac branched device. There were no stent dislocations and all aortic branches that were patent at the completion of each case remained so 1-year post procedure. CONCLUSION Steerable sheaths designed for cardiac electrophysical applications, like the HSS Introducer, can be successfully utilised for cannulation of challenging target vessels in a wide range of aortic endovascular procedures. This modified approach may salvage cases that would otherwise be considered inoperable in regions of the world where steerable sheaths designed for aortic use are not readily available.

Abstract
(1) Background: Arterial cannulation in type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) is still subject to debate. We describe a systematic approach of using the innominate artery for arterial perfusion (2) Methods: The hospital records of 110 consecutive patients with acute TAAAD operated on between January 2014 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The effect of the cannulation site on early and late mortality, as well as on cardio-pulmonary perfusion indices (lactate and base excess levels, and cooling and rewarming speed) were investigated. (3) Results: There was a significant difference in early mortality (8.82% vs. 40.79%, p < 0.01) but no difference in long-term survival beyond the first 30 days. Using the innominate artery enabled the use of approximately 20% higher CPB flows (2.73 ± 0.1 vs. 2.42 ± 0.06 L/min/m2 BSA, p < 0.01), which resulted in more rapid cooling (1.89 ± 0.77 vs. 3.13 ± 1.62 min/°C/m2 BSA, p < 0.01), rewarming (2.84 ± 1.36 vs. 4.22 ± 2.23, p < 0.01), lower mean base excess levels during CPB (-5.01 ± 2.99 mEq/L vs. -6.66 ± 3.37 mEq/L, p = 0.01) and lower lactate levels at the end of the procedure (4.02 ± 2.48 mmol/L vs. 6.63 ± 4.17 mmol/L, p < 0.01). Postoperative permanent neurologic insult (3.12% vs. 20%, p = 0.02) and acute kidney injury (3.12% vs. 32.81%, p < 0.01) were significantly reduced. (4) Conclusions: systematic use of the innominate artery enables better perfusion and superior results in TAAAD repair.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease prevalence has been increasing worldwide, with an increasing need to deliver an effective treatment. During the first months of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic healthcare systems around the world were under stress. Therefore, the aim of this study is to report a single center experience with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation while also evaluating the impact of COVID-19. METHODS Procedures for AVF creation in a tertiary hospital between March 2017 and December 2020 were included in this study and their case records were retrospectively analyzed and data retrieved. RESULTS A total of 582 procedures were performed and a total of 568 accesses were created (506 being made pre-COVID onset and 62 post-COVID onset). The period between the referral to the vascular surgery consultation was significantly longer for the COVID group [18 (23) days vs 28 (44) days; p<0,001] while the period between the consultation to the surgery was significantly shorter [76 (77) days vs 40 (57) days; p<0,001]. This resulted in significantly less time between referral to surgery in the COVID group [103 (77) days vs 88 (55) days; p=0,008]. CONCLUSION The ability of hospitals to adapt their resources was paramount to mitigate COVID impact. In the institution where the study took place, the time from referral to consultation was increased significantly during the first months of COVID but the time from consultation to surgery was significantly reduced. Overall, these results show that there was a successful effort to expedite the creation of a vascular access.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy exists regarding the optimal methods of employing ultrasound to enhance vascular access. A novel user interface which dynamically displays transverse (short) and longitudinal (long) planes simultaneously was developed to optimize ultrasound-guided vascular access. This study aimed to assess the impact of this novel biplane axis technology on central venous access performance. METHODS Eighteen volunteer emergency medicine resident physicians and physician assistants were recruited from a single center to participate in this prospective, randomized crossover study. Following a brief instructional video, participants were randomized to perform ultrasound-guided vascular access using either short-axis or biplane axis approaches first, followed by the opposite technique following a brief washout period. Time to cannulation was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures included success rate, posterior wall and arterial puncture rates, time to scout, number of attempts, number of needle redirections, participant cannulization and visualization confidence, and interface preference. RESULTS Short-axis imaged approach was associated with a significantly shorter time to cannulation (34.9 seconds versus 17.6, p is less than 0.001) and time to scout (30 versus 49 seconds, p is equal to 0.008) when compared to biplaneaxis imaging approach. No significant differences were noted when comparing first pass success, number of attempts, number of redirections, and posterior wall and arterial wall puncture. Participants' cannulation/visualization confidence and axis preference both favored the short-axis imaging approach. CONCLUSION Further studies are needed to assess the clinical value of novel biplane axis ultrasound imaging in the performance of ultrasound-guided procedures.

Abstract
Background and Aims Short axis, out of plane (SAOOP) and long axis, in-plane (LAIP) are two approaches employed under ultrasound-guided radial arterial cannulation. Dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP) is a recently introduced approach which integrates the features of both. Methods A total of 114 adult patients from American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) I-IV were studied in this hospital-based cross-sectional study after getting Institutional Ethical approval, CTRI registration and prior written informed consent. The primary objective was to compare the success rates among LAIP and DNTP techniques. The radial arterial diameter and its depth were correlated to the success rates in both. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23.0. Results Success rates were similar in both (P value-0.094). Ultrasonographic location time (in seconds) was shorter in DNTP (4.351 ± 0.9727) compared to LAIP (7.140 ± 1.0763) (P value-0.0001). The mean overall diameter and depth of radial artery (in mm) were found to be 2.36 ± 0.02 and 2.51 ± 0.12, respectively. Pearson's correlation coefficient between cannulation time and diameter was found to be -0.602 (P value-0.0001) and with depth of the radial artery was 0.034 (P value 0.723). Conclusion The success rates were similar in both techniques. Ultrasonographic location time of the radial artery was more in LAIP although cannulation time was similar in both. Cannulation time decreased with an increase in the diameter of radial artery but was unaffected by the depth of the radial artery.

Abstract
Though ultrasonography is increasingly used throughout the spectrum of hemodialysis access, its role in outpatient dialysis units in the United States has been limited so far. This may, in part, be due to limited ultrasound exposure, knowledge and training of dialysis staff. We implemented a quality improvement initiative in our dialysis units to expand the use of ultrasound by our frontline dialysis staff to prospectively evaluate newly placed AVF and guide cannulation. This manuscript describes our experience and the impact of our protocol on infiltration rates in our outpatient HD units.

Abstract
Background The type of major duodenal papilla could be associated with difficult biliary cannulation at first endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in adults. Methods This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients undergoing ERCP for the first time by an expert endoscopist. We defined the type of papilla according to the endoscopic classification of Haraldsson in type 1-4. The outcome of interest was difficult biliary cannulation, defined according to the European Society of Gastroenterology. To assess the association of interest, we calculated crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PRc and PRa, respectively) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI) using Poisson regression with robust variance models, employing bootstrap methods. For the adjusted model we included the variables age, sex, and indication for ERCP, according to an epidemiological approach. Results We included 230 patients. The most frequent type of papilla was type 1 (43.5%), and 101 (43.9%) of the patients presented difficult biliary cannulation. The results were consistent between the crude and adjusted analyses. After adjusting for age, sex, and ERCP indication, the prevalence of difficult biliary cannulation was highest in patients with papilla type 3 (PRa 3.66, 95%CI 2.49-5.84), followed by patients with papilla type 4 (PRa 3.21, 95%CI 1.82-5.75), and patients with papilla type 2 (PRa 1.95, 95%CI 1.15-3.20) compared to patients with papilla type 1. Conclusion In adults undergoing ERCP for the first time, patients with papilla type 3 had a greater prevalence of difficult biliary cannulation than patients with papilla type 1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This case report describes the successful correction of partial obstruction of the NL duct in a cat by means of a modified retrograde NL duct cannulation using a steerable angle-tipped hydrophilic guidewire (AH guidewire) following a paranasal incision. ANIMAL STUDIED A 2-year-old neutered male American domestic shorthair cat was referred to the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital (PUVH) for chronic epiphora suspected secondary to nasolacrimal (NL) system obstruction. PROCEDURES At the first visit, the cat had epiphora OD and facial dermatitis but no other abnormalities on physical and ophthalmic examinations. Computed tomography (CT)-dacryocystorhinography revealed partial obstruction of the NL duct secondary to stenosis near the distal root of the right maxillary third premolar (107). A digital three-dimensional (3D) model of the right maxilla and NL duct was created for inspection and virtual cannulation of the NL. The model was 3D printed and cannulation of the NL duct was rehearsed with various stent materials. Retrograde NL stenting with the guidance of a steerable angle-tipped hydrophilic guidewire was conducted following a paranasal incision. A urethral catheter was cannulated over the guidewire and maintained for 44 days. RESULTS The epiphora resolved immediately after stenting. At 21 days post-stenting, the cat developed acute bullous keratopathy secondary to self-trauma which was treated with a third eyelid flap. On the final follow-up communication with the owner at 210 days post-stenting, no epiphora or any other concerns were reported. CONCLUSION To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of successful NL stenting and resolution of epiphora in a cat with a partial NL system obstruction.

Abstract
Background The coronary sinus (CS) and its tributaries have been used to perform various electrophysiological and cardiac interventional procedures which require cannulation. The Thebesian valve (TV) guarding the coronary sinus orifice (CSO) exhibits morphological variations which might make cannulation unsuccessful leading to the failure of invasive cardiac procedures. This study aimed to analyze in detail the morphological features of the TV in fresh autopsied human hearts which were representative of the adult population of this region owing to its practical implications in invasive cardiac procedures. Methodology This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted in the Department of Anatomy in collaboration with the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology at Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry. A total of 104 fresh adult heart specimens were collected during the autopsy. The CSO was located, and the characteristic shape, composition, position, and extent of coverage of the CSO by the TV were observed and analyzed. Results The TV was present in 65% of heart specimens. The most common shape was remnant (33%), and the most common site of origin was inferior (63%). The valve composition was thin and membranous in 63% of heart specimens. In 7% of heart specimens, the TV covered more than 75% of the CSO diameter, of which in 4% of heart specimens, the CSO was completely closed and found to be obstructive. Conclusions This study highlights the variability in the morphological structure of the TV in adult human hearts and its potential implications in unsuccessful CS cannulation and failure of invasive cardiac procedures. Thus, prior imaging of the TV should be an integral part of CS cannulation procedures to avoid unsuccessful cannulation and complications related to repeated forceful cannulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In heart transplantation (HT), peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is utilized preoperatively as a direct bridge to HT or postoperatively for primary graft dysfunction (PGD). Little is known about wound complications of an arterial VA-ECMO cannulation site which can be fatal. METHODS From 2009 to 2021, outcomes of 80 HT recipients who were supported with peripheral VA-ECMO either preoperatively or postoperatively were compared based on the site of arterial cannulation: axillary (AX: N = 49) versus femoral artery (FA: N = 31). RESULTS Patients in the AX group were older (AX: 59 years vs. 52 years, p = .006), and less likely to have extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (0% vs. 12.9%, p = .040). Survival to discharge (AX, 81.6% vs. FA. 90.3%, p = .460), incidence of stroke (10.2% vs. 6.5%, p = .863), VA-ECMO cannulation-related bleeding (6.1% vs. 12.9%, p = .522), and arm or limb ischemia (0% vs. 3.2%, p = .816) were comparable. ECMO cannulation-related wound complications were lower in the AX group (AX, 4.1% vs. FA, 45.2%, p < .001) including the wound infections (2.0% vs. 32.3%, p < .001). In FA group, all organisms were gram-negative species. In univariate logistic regression analysis, AX cannulation was associated with less ECMO cannulation-related wound complications (Odds ratio, .23, p < .001). There was no difference between cutdown and percutaneous FA insertion regarding cannulation-related complications. CONCLUSIONS Given the lower rate of wound complications and comparable hospital outcomes with femoral cannulation, axillary VA-ECMO may be an excellent option in HT candidates or recipients when possible.

Abstract
The internal jugular veins (IJV) are the primary venous outflow channels of the head and neck. The IJV is of clinical interest since it is often used for central venous access. This literature aims at presenting an overview of the anatomical variations, morphometrics based on various imaging modalities, cadaveric and surgical findings, and the clinical anatomy of IJV cannulation. Additionally, the anatomical basis of complications, techniques to avoid complications, and cannulation in special instances are also included in the review. The review was performed by a detailed literature search and review of relevant articles. A total of 141 articles were included and organized into anatomical variations, morphometrics, and clinical anatomy of IJV cannulation. The IJV is next to important structures such as the arteries, nerve plexus, and pleura, which puts them at risk of injury during cannulation. Anatomical variations such as duplications, fenestrations, agenesis, tributaries, and valves, may lead to an increased failure rate and complications during the procedure, if unnoticed. The morphometrics of IJV, such as the cross-sectional area, diameter, and distance from the skin-to-cavo-atrial junction may assist in choosing the appropriate cannulation techniques and hence reduce the incidence of complications. Age, gender, and side-related differences explained variations in the IJV-common carotid artery relationship, cross-sectional area, and diameter. Accurate knowledge of anatomical variations in special considerations such as paediatrics and obesity may help prevent complications and facilitate successful cannulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant collapsibility during spontaneous respiration, deeper location, and smaller vein size are key challenging factors to safe infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation. Arm abduction reduces collapsibility, but interventional data supporting this observation is lacking. This study investigates the effect of neutral and abducted arm position on the first pass success rate of infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation in spontaneously breathing patients. METHODS One hundred and twelve patients were randomly assigned to two arm positions, neutral or abducted by 90° at the shoulder joint. Under ultrasound guidance, the infraclavicular axillary vein was cannulated using an in-plane approach. The primary outcome was the first pass success rate of guidewire placement in the infraclavicular axillary vein. The secondary outcome measures were the number of attempts for successful cannulation, failure rate, and catheter tip malposition. RESULTS Fifty-two patients in the neutral arm and fifty-six patients in the arm abduction group were compared according to the intention to treat analysis. The abducted arm position was associated with a higher first pass success rate (RR = 3.39, 95% CI = 1.47-7.85; p = 0.004) with fewer attempts (p = 0.005), lower failure rate (RR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.16-1.61; p = 0.000) and lower catheter tip malposition (1.5 vs 15.8%; p = 0.012) when compared to the neutral arm position. CONCLUSION Abducted arm position resulted in a significantly higher first pass success rate with a lower failure rate and catheter tip malposition during ultrasound-guided infraclavicular axillary vein cannulation in spontaneously breathing patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The palpation method of posterior tibial artery cannulation has not yet been compared to ultrasound-guided posterior tibial artery cannulation in adults. This research examined whether using ultrasound to cannulate the posterior tibial artery enhances first-pass cannulation success and lowers total procedure time. METHODS In this randomized controlled experiment, 76 adult patients were included who were undergoing surgery under general anesthesia and required artery cannulation. Cannulation of the posterior tibial artery was performed utilizing either an ultrasound-assisted method (group U) or a palpation method (group P). Data were analyzed for cannulation success on the first attempt, number of cannulation attempts, assessment time, cannulation time, and total procedure time. RESULTS The P group had a considerably shorter mean assessment time than the U group [14.29 ± 2.79 s vs 20.89 ± 2.70 s; p < .001]. Moreover, cannulation time was substantially longer in the P (29.20 ± 12.60 s) than in the U group (15.90 ± 6.50 s) (p < .001). The total procedure time remained statistically more in the P group than in the U group (p = 0.007). The rate of successful posterior tibial artery cannulation on the first attempt was comparable between the two groups (63.2% in the U and 55.3% in the P group, respectively; p = .484)]. CONCLUSIONS The posterior tibial artery may be a suitable alternative to arterial cannulation for individuals with multiple failed attempts or difficult access. The application of ultrasound during posterior tibial artery cannulation in adult patients is safe and feasible and accompanied by a reduction in cannulation and total procedure time. The rate of first-attempt successful posterior tibial artery cannulation was comparable between the two groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel bidirectional cannula that ensures stable distal perfusion compared to conventional cannula in patients undergoing femoral arterial cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS During a 1-year period, 64 patients undergoing surgery via peripheral cannulation were prospectively randomized to receive 19 F bidirectional (Biflow™, LivaNova, Italy) or 19 F conventional (HLS Peripheral cannula, Getinge Group™, Germany) cannula with 6 F downstream line (Bicakcilar™, Turkey) for femoral artery cannulation. The primary outcome included the efficacy (adequacy of antegrade/retrograde comparative flow via cannula measured by doppler ultrasonography) and the secondary outcome was the safety (early/late complications and adverse events). RESULTS Percent flow (distal/proximal) after cannulation measured by doppler ultrasonography was significantly better in study group (33.1 ± 5 ml/min) versus downstream cannula (16.1 ± 4, p = 0.012). SpO2 measured by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) also demonstrated significantly better saturation in distal calf of the cannulated leg in bidirectional cannula group (67.5% ± 10% vs 52.5 ± 8, p = 0.04). The incidence of serious adverse events was seroma on femoral region (one patient), superficial wound infection (one patient), pseudo-hematoma (two patients) in bidirectional cannula group and in-hospital femoral embolectomy/artery repair (two patients), superficial wound infection (three patients), cannulation site hematoma (three patients) in conventional cannula group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that in patients undergoing femoral arterial cannulation for CPB during cardiac surgery, the use of a novel bidirectional cannula is safe and easy to insert and provides stable distal perfusion of the cannulated limb.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to critically evaluate the effectiveness of a designated ECMO team in our ECMO selection process and patient outcomes in the first 3 years of our low-volume pediatric ECMO program. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who received an ECMO consultation between the start of our program in March 2015 and May 2018. We gathered clinical and demographic information on patients who did and did not receive ECMO, and described our selection process. We reflected on the processes used to initiate our program and our outcomes in the first 3 years. RESULTS 69 patients received consultations, and of those, 50 patients were potential candidates. 19 (38%) of the candidates were ultimately placed on ECMO. There were statistically significant differences in oxygen saturation, paO2, oxygenation index, A-aDO2, lactate, and pH between the patients who went on ECMO and who did not. We improved our outcomes from 0% survival to discharge in 2015, to 60% in 2018, with an average of 63% survival to discharge over the first 3 years of our program. CONCLUSIONS In a low-volume pediatric ECMO center, having a designated team to assist in the patient selection process and management can help provide safe and efficient care to these patients, and improve patient outcomes. Having a strict management protocol and simulation sessions involving all members of the medical team yields comfort for the providers and optimal care for patients. This study describes our novel structure, processes, and outcomes, which we hope will be helpful to others seeking to develop a new pediatric ECMO program.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Venous drainage is often problematic in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). Here, we describe our experience with a self-expandable stent cannula designed to optimize venous drainage. METHODS The smart canula® was used in 58 consecutive patients undergoing MICS for mitral valve disease (n = 40), left atrial myxoma (n = 3), left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n = 1), and aortic valve replacement via a right anterior minithoracotomy (n = 14) procedures. The venous cannula was placed under transesophageal echocardiography guidance to reach the superior vena cava. Vacuum-assisted venous drainage (between -20 and -35 mm Hg) was used to reach a target flow index of 2.2 L/min/m² at a core temperature of 34 °C using a goal-directed perfusion strategy aimed at a minimum DO2 of 272 mL/min/m2. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) parameters were recorded, and hemolysis-related parameters were analyzed on postoperative days 1 to 7. RESULTS Mean body surface area and median body mass index were 1.9 ± 0.2 m2 and 25.2 (23.4, 30.2) kg/m2. Mean CPB and median cross-clamping times were 107.7 ± 24.4 min and 64.5 (53, 75.8) min, and median CPB flow during cardioplegic arrest was 4 (3.6, 4.2) L/min (median cardiac index 2.1 [2, 2.2] L/min/m²). Venous drainage was considered sufficient by the surgeon in all cases, and insertion and removal were uncomplicated. Mean SvO2 during CPB was 80.2% ± 5.5%, and median peak lactate was 10 (8, 14) mg/dL, indicating sufficient perfusion. Mean venous negative drainage pressure during cross-clamping was 27.2 ± 12.3 mm Hg. Platelets dropped by 73.6 ± 37.5 K/µL, lactate dehydrogenase rose by 81.5 (44.3, 140.8) U/L, and leukocytes rose by 3.4 (2.2, 7.2) K/µL on postoperative day 1. CONCLUSIONS The venous smart canula® allows for optimal venous drainage at low negative drainage pressures, facilitating sufficient perfusion in MICS.

Abstract
Currently, ultrasound-guided central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is recommended in pediatric patients. However, the clinical practice may vary. The primary aim of this study was the overall success rate and the first attempt success rate in ultrasound-guided CVC insertion versus anatomic-based CVC insertion in pediatric patients. The secondary aim was the incidence of associated complications and the procedural time. The physician could freely choose the cannulation method and venous approach. Data were collected for 10 months. Overall, 179 patients were assessed for eligibility and 107 patients were included. In almost half of the patients (48.6%), the percutaneous puncture was performed by real-time ultrasound navigation. In 51.4% of the patients, the puncture was performed by the landmark method. The overall success rate was 100% (n = 52) in the real-time ultrasound navigation group, 96.4% (n = 53) in the landmark insertion group, (p = 0.496). The first percutaneous puncture success rate was 57.7% (n = 30) in the real-time ultrasound navigation group and 45.5% (n = 25) in the landmark insertion group, (p = 0.460). The data show a higher overall success rate and the first success rate in the US-guided CVC insertion group, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Abstract
Background It is controversial whether the short-axis out-of-plane or long-axis in-plane approach is a better needling technique for ultrasound-guidance radial artery cannulation. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the two approaches for ultrasound-guided radial artery cannulation. Methods A systematic search of Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for relevant articles published until 1 May 2021 was conducted. Randomised controlled trials comparing the long-axis in-plane with short-axis out-of-plane approaches were included. Review Manager software version 5.4, STATA version 14.2, and trial sequential analysis (TSA) version 0.9.5.10 Beta were used for statistical analysis. Risk of bias and methodological quality of all studies included in this review were assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration tool for the risk of bias. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression were performed to explore sources of heterogeneity. Results The rate of cannula insertion success on the first attempt was similar between the short-axis out-of-plane and long-axis in-plane approaches (RR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.83 to 1.28; P = 0.79; I 2 = 83.0%). No significant differences were observed in total time to successful cannulation between the two approaches (MD = -3.9; 95% CI:-18.30 to 10.49; P = 0.6; I 2 = 97%). However, the required information size for the success rate of the first attempt and total time to successful cannulation was not reached. Conclusion It remains inconclusive whether short-axis out-of-plane is a better choice for radial arterial cannulation than the long-axis in-plane approach. Inexperienced operators may need more attempts and longer ultrasound location time with the short-axis out-of-plane technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The blood vessel in the upper extremity arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is deep in the tissue, and cannulation in AVF is frequently associated with blood oozing, hematoma, or aneurysm. This study evaluated the performance of color ultrasound in-plane guided cannulation technique during upper extremity high-AVF cannulation in patients with hemodialysis. METHODS A total of 40 patients with hemodialysis who needed cannulation in upper extremity AVF were recruited in the study, and the patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to guide cannulation in the observation group and in the control group blind cannulation method was applied. The success rate of one-time cannulation, the incidence of subcutaneous hematoma, oozing, and pain caused by incorrect fistula cannulation as well as the satisfaction score of the patients were compared to evaluate the effect and advantages of color ultrasound-guided cannulation. RESULTS The one-time success rate of internal fistula cannulation in the observation group (98.71%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (88.27%). The incidence rates of hematoma, oozing, pain, and total failure events were significantly reduced in the observation group. The average satisfaction degree in the observation group was also significantly higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSION Ultrasonic-guided cannulation effectively enhances the success rate of cannulation in upper extremity AVF, reduces the incidence of cannulation failures, and improves the satisfaction level in the patients.
