Abstract Kitahori, Kawata, Takamoto et al. described the effectiveness of a novel protocol for
retrograde cerebral perfusion that included intermittent pressure augmentation for brain …

Between March 1991 and October 1992, 21 consecutive patients underwent aortic arch
reconstruction without aortic cross-clamping using separate extracorporeal circulation in …

This article describes the surgical techniques demonstrated in our video,“Total arch
replacement (TAR) with selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) and mild …

Hypothermic circulatory arrest has been used to facilitate resection of aneurysms of the
aortic arch. During a five-year period, two methods of hypothermic arrest were compared in …

To attain satisfactory results in aortic arch surgery a reliable method of cerebral protection,
avoidance of emboli, and control of hemorrhage is mandatory. Deep hypothermic circulatory …

Objectives The optimal hypothermic level during circulatory arrest in aortic arch surgery
remains controversial, particularly in frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedures. We describe …

Resection of the aortic arch has been associated with prohibitive morbidity and mortality
because of the technical magnitude of the operation. Six patients, including a 6-year-old …

Since the pioneering work of DeBakey, Cooley, and colleagues more than 50 years ago,
surgical treatment of aneurysms involving the transverse aortic arch has been associated …

Background. In 1986 we introduced the technique of antegrade selective perfusion of the
brain with cold blood during surgery of the aortic arch. Methods. Between January 1984 and …

Background Open distal graft to proximal aortic arch anastomosis is central to a hemiarch
replacement. Even if the ischemic tolerance time of several organs during circulatory arrest …
