Abstract Background Patients supported with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may receive an intra-aortic balloon pump to reduce left ventricular afterload and improve aortic diastolic pressure. However, the effect of this..

Abstract Children requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) or cardiac surgery often undergo cervical cannulation or carotid artery clamping, which can interrupt cerebral circulation. Inadequate collateral flow through the..

Abstract Background During cardiac surgery, transcranial Doppler (TCD) represents a non-invasive modality that allows measurement of red blood cell flow velocities in the cerebral arteries. TCD can also be used..

Abstract 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..
