Diseases affecting the aortic arch often require surgical intervention. Hypothermic circulatory
arrest (HCA) enables a safe approach during open aortic arch surgeries. Additionally, HCA …

Background We hypothesized that hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) can be performed
with a low operative risk and does not add to the morbidity in elective procedures. Methods …

Objective To evaluate our extensive clinical experience using deep hypothermic circulatory
arrest (DHCA) as a sole method of cerebral protection during aortic arch surgery, with an …

Background Aortic arch surgery is one of the major challenges in modern aortic surgery,
special cerebral and visceral organ protective strategies are still under progress. Whether …

OBJECTIVE: Hypothermic circulatory arrest has been an important tool in aortic arch
surgery, even though its use has recently been discussed controversially. We sought to …

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

A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The
question addressed was whether moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest with selective …

Operations on the thoracic aorta using hypothermic circulatory arrest are still associated with
significant morbidity and mortality due to neurological complications. During the last …

Background Surgical and cerebral protection strategies in aortic arch surgery remain under
debate. Perioperative results using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) have been …

Objectives In adult aortic arch surgery, moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) with
selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP)(MoHACP) is widely used, but the application …
