Popis: c l t i d f t r c a e a a p v c w w ( HE AXILLARY ARTERY can be cannulated in the operating room in order to provide continuous hemodynamic onitoring during major surgery or in critically ill patients.1 It s cannulated when other vessels, such as the radial, brachial, nd femoral arteries, are unavailable or when several attempts o insert an arterial catheter have failed. Sandhu2 has recently escribed a new anterior approach for axillary artery catheterzation using real-time sonography. The technique reported by Sandhu2 has recently been used in patient undergoing port-access mitral valve replacement. The uthor’s protocol used for this kind of surgery includes bilateral adial artery catheters, aortic root pressure, and transesophageal chocardiography of the ascending aorta to monitor the potenial migration of an endoaortic clamp catheter.3-5 Several unuccessful attempts were made to cannulate the left radial and rachial arteries in this patient. A catheter was then placed in he left axillary artery by passing a 16-G catheter through the ectoral muscles under real-time sonography.
