Introduction Neurologic deficits are still a major complication of aortic arch surgery. We
therefore compared cerebral protection by deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) …

BACKGROUND.: The optimal adjunctive method for cerebral protection during aortic arch
repair remains controversial. METHODS.: Retrograde cerebral perfusion, selective cerebral …

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the results of the introduction of
thoracoabdominal perfusion (TAP) in the surgical strategy for aortic arch replacement with …

Background Whether selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) during moderate-to-mild
systemic hypothermia (≥ 28° C) is applicable to aortic arch surgery without restrictions …

Background Traditional aortic arch replacement surgery must be performed under moderate
or deep hypothermia (22–28° C) and circulatory arrest. Hypothermia and hypoperfusion can …

Surgical correction of aortic arch aneurysms can be technically difficult and present hazards
related to central nervous system and myocardial viability. Temporary circulatory arrest may …

Objective: Our goal was to investigate factors for mortality and cerebral outcome in patients
with aneurysm of the aortic arch. Methods: From 1993 to 1996, 148 patients with aortic arch …

As recognition of the probable limits of safe HCA was becoming more widespread, the
technique of retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP), first advocated by Ueda and colleagues, 7 …

Abstract From June 1985 to December 1991, 21 patients (12 men and 9 women; mean age,
60 years) underwent total simultaneous aortic replacement that extended from the valve to …

Methods Clinical data were retrospectively collected for 207 consecutive patients who
underwent aortic arch surgery using continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion (CRCP) and …
