Arch surgery is undoubtedly among the most technically and strategically challenging
endeavours in aortic surgery, requiring thorough understanding not only of cardiovascular …

Cerebral oximetry based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly used during
the perioperative period of cardiovascular operations. It is a noninvasive technology that can …

BACKGROUND: Cerebral protection during aortic arch surgery can be performed using
various surgical strategies. We retrospectively analyzed our results of different brain …

Objective To shed light on contemporary results of open total aortic arch surgery, we
undertook a systematic review to identify all reports on this procedure published in the last …

Background Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) is standard treatment for complex aortic
pathology and includes both unilateral (u-ACP) and bilateral (b-ACP) techniques. Focusing …

Objective: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) complements online monitoring of cerebral
oxygenation during aortic arch surgery. Its addition targets at an increase of safety of a …

Objective The study objective was to investigate outcomes associated with the application of
bilateral or unilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion during surgery for acute type A …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrospective multicentre study was to investigate and compare
clinical outcomes of unilateral and bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) strategies …

Background Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) is the most widely used cerebral protection
strategy for complex aortic repair and includes unilateral (u-ACP) and bilateral (b-ACP) …

OBJECTIVE: With the realization that hypothermia was neuroprotective, hypothermic
selective antegrade cerebral perfusion was adopted by many surgical groups for aortic arch …
