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 …

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

OBJECTIVES The goal was to investigate the prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after
total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk procedure, which was achieved by …

Background Neurologic deficit remains a major complication after cardiovascular surgeries
with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). We hypothesized that exosomes derived …

Objective To report long-term outcomes after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA)
with or without perioperative blood or blood products. Methods All patients who underwent …

We evaluated the disposable non-invasive SpotOn™ thermometer relying on the zero-heat-
flux technology. We tested the hypothesis that this technology may accurately estimate the …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of adenosine‐5'‐triphosphate
(ATP) and adenosine on the contractility of rodent extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle …

Hypothermic circulatory arrest is a protective technique used when complete cessation of
circulation is required during cardiac surgery. Prior efforts to decrease neurologic injury with …

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 …

Background Thoracic aortic arch aneurysms (TAAs) can be a life‐threatening condition due
to the potential risk of rupture. Treatment is recommended when the risk of rupture is greater …
