Cerebral protection strategies in aortic surgery have undergone significant evolution over
the years, but its tenets remain rooted in maintenance of hypothermia and cerebral perfusion …

Despite advances in cardiac surgery and anesthesia, the rates of brain injury remain high in
aortic arch surgery requiring circulatory arrest. The mechanisms of brain injury, including …

Background In the context of complex aortic surgery, despite the wide consensus about the
use of moderate hypothermia in association with antegrade selective cerebral perfusion …

Objective Our objective was to determine if antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) and
retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) combined with deep hypothermia circulatory arrest in …

OBJECTIVES Hypothermic circulatory arrest is essential to aortic arch surgery, although
consensus regarding optimal cerebral protection strategy remains lacking. We evaluated the …
