Background: Various techniques have been proposed for cerebral protection during the
surgical treatment of complex aortic disease. The authors propose a revisited strategy of …

The authors propose a new strategy of normothermic perfusion for replacement of the aortic
arch to avoid the complications of profound hypothermic circulatory arrest. Six patients …

Introduction. There continue to be some controversies concerning aortic arch reconstruction,
especially the cerebral protection methods. We report our operative and postoperative …

The potential risks of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in aortic arch surgery have been
well documented. Antegrade cerebral perfusion may ameliorate brain injury but still involves …

The technical aspects of arch surgery have evolved considerably during the last 2 decades.
The use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest has been embraced by many cardiac …

BACKGROUND: Objective: To review intra-and postoperative data regarding surgical
reconstruction of the aortic arch performed at our cardiosurgical centre during the past four …

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: For aortic arch surgery, the potential risks of deep hypothermic circulatory
arrest with or without antegrade cerebral perfusion have been widely documented. We …

Deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest is the usual method of cerebral protection during
replacement of the aortic arch. It has the enormous advantage of allowing the surgical repair …

Objective Although current developments in aortic arch replacement have demonstrated
progressively improving mortality, cerebral morbidity remains significant. We describe a …
