Abstract Background Impairment of cerebral autoregulation (CA) has been observed in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but little is known about its risks and associations with outcomes. The cerebral oximetry..
WeiterlesenAbstract Objectives Acknowledging lacking of consensus exist in total aortic arch (TAA) surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (AAD), this study aimed to investigate the neurologic injury rate between..
WeiterlesenAbstract The risk of redo sternotomy is greatly elevated in the setting of aortic proximity to the sternum. Current strategies to avoid catastrophic neurologic injury upon sternal reentry include establishment..
WeiterlesenAbstract Aims The aim of this study was to document the postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), the evolution of HCA management over time and to identify the..
WeiterlesenAbstract Background Direct cannulation of the innominate artery for selective antegrade cerebral perfusion has been shown to be safe in elective proximal aortic reconstructions. We sought to evaluate the safety..
WeiterlesenAbstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a standard technique for cardiac surgery, but comes with the risk of severe neurological complications (e.g. stroke) caused by embolisms and/or reduced cerebral perfusion. We..
WeiterlesenAbstract Background Aortic arch repair for aortic dissection is still associated with a high mortality rate. Providing adequate means of neuromonitoring to guide cerebral hemodynamics is advantageous, especially during selective anterior..
WeiterlesenAbstract Study objective Low (BIS) values have been associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. However, trials of optimizing BIS by titrating anesthetic administration have reported conflicting results. One potential explanation is that may..
WeiterlesenAbstract The use of total circulatory arrest (TCA)/deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) as a support modality in congenital heart surgery is a time-tested strategy. However, with technological advances, the widespread..
WeiterlesenAbstract Aim Hypothermia and selective brain perfusion is used for brain protection during an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) correction. We compared the outcomes between antegrade and retrograde cerebral..
