Retrograde brain perfusion method for arcuate aorta operation.

Cerebral retrograde perfusion alternating with carotid artery anterograde perfusion in the surgical treatment of acute dissection of ascending aorta dissection

The authors report an original case using cerebral retrograde perfusion alternating with carotid artery anterograde perfusion, during the surgical treatment of acute ascending aorta dissection. The patient was discharged on the 32nd post-operative day in a clinically controlled condition. The Mini Mental State Examination was applied after 30 days and showed normal cerebral cognitive activity. ...

Retrograde Pulmonary Perfusion for Pulmonary Thromboembolism

Unclamping the inferior vena cava during retrograde cerebral perfusion increases the safe range of retrograde perfusion pressures and improves brain perfusion.

We investigated the effect of different methods of management of the inferior vena cava (IVC) during retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) on the relationships between RCP pressure, regional cerebral blood flow, tissue oxygenation, and intracranial pressure (ICP). Fourteen pigs were subjected to hypothermic (15 degrees C) RCP at RCP pressures varying from 10 to 110 mmHg with clamping (closed grou...

Retrograde perfusion of coronary circulation.

Validity of Mri Brain Perfusion Imaging Method

Brain perfusion imaging using Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging is very promising method since it can be easily implemented as a standard contrast-based MRI procedure. Quantitative brain perfusion description by DSC-MRI data post processing requires validation. Different validation analysis was performed to verify the influence of a bolus dispersion, delay, low SNR and ...
