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 …

Aortic arch surgery remains a complex surgical operation that necessitates specific
neuroprotection strategies. Various approaches, such as hypothermic circulatory arrest …

BACKGROUND: Cerebral protection techniques during aortic arch surgery include deep
hypothermic circulatory arrest, retrograde cerebral perfusion, and (or) antegrade cerebral …

Aortic arch surgery necessitates interrupted brain perfusion and carries a risk of brain injury.
Various brain protective techniques have been advocated to reduce risk including …

Complex ascending and aortic arch surgery requires the implementation of different cerebral
protection strategies to avoid or limit the probability of intraoperative brain damage during …

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to identify preoperative and intraoperative risk
factors influencing outcome after operations requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest with …

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

Significant advances in aortic arch surgery have been made over the past several decades;
however, aortic arch surgery is still challenging for surgeons. Surgery on the aortic arch …

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

Objective Cerebral protection for aortic arch surgery has been widely studied, but
comparisons of all the available strategies have rarely been performed. We performed direct …
