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 …

Abstract Objectives Data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery
Database was used to examine the incidence and factors associated with acute stroke …

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

Background Total aortic arch replacement (TOTAL) is a complicated operation and has
