Abstract OBJECTIVES This study investigates the impact of bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) time on outcomes in aortic arch surgery. METHODS In total, 961 patients underwent either hemiarch (n = 385) or..

Abstract Cardiac surgery, both adult and pediatric, has developed very rapidly and impressively over the past 7 decades. Pediatric cardiac surgery, in particular, has revolutionized the management of babies born..

Abstract Background Cerebral protection strategies have been investigated since the introduction of aortic arch surgery and have been modified over the centuries. However, the cerebral protective effects of unilateral and..

Abstract Background: In the context of complex aortic surgery, despite the wide consensus about the use of moderate hypothermia in association with antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP), its bilateral administration is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: Cerebrovascular autoregulation impairment has been associated with stroke risk in cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that greater arterial emboli exposure in open-chamber surgery might promote dysautoreguation. Methods: Forty patients..

Abstract Objective Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in aortic surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality despite evolving strategies. With the advent of antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP), moderate hypothermic circulatory..

Abstract 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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The optimal strategy for cerebral protection during repair of type A acute  has yet to be determined. We sought to determine the impact of differing degrees of hypothermia in..

Abstract Objective: Exposure to cerebral emboli is ubiquitous and may be harmful in cardiac surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass. This was a prospective observational study aiming to compare emboli exposure in..

Abstract Objective: Mesenchymal stromal cells have important immunomodulatory and neuroprotective properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of mesenchymal stromal cell administration into a cardiopulmonary bypass..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP), including unilateral and bilateral, is most commonly used for cerebral protection in aortic surgery. There is still no consensus on the superiority of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Although antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) provides good brain protection during aortic arch surgery, the issue of distal organ protection during circulatory arrest remains to be clarified. The..

Abstract Chipmunk as a food-storing hibernator naturally undergoes hibernation that is linked to great changes in systemic physiology and could protect the central nervous system during drastically reduced cerebral blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Surgical and cerebral protection strategies in  remain under debate. Perioperative results using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) have been associated with favorable short-term mortality and stroke rates. The present..

Abstract Background We designed a prospective randomized clinical study to compare unilateral and bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) under moderate hypethermia in open distal aortic hemiarch replacement in ascending aortic..
