A single-center prospective study. Patients undergoing surgery for acute type A aortic dissection with femoral arterial cannulation between 2017 and 2022 at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden are eligible. Femoral cannulation was performed either with surgical cut-down and arterial puncture under direct vision or percutaneously with planned percutaneous arteriotomy closed using a plug-based arteriotomy closure device (MANTA, Essential Medical Inc., Malvern, Pennsylvania). Data regarding preoperative clinical characteristics and operative details were obtained by medical records review.
