Aortic Arch Replacement with Moderate Hypothermia and a Modified Three-PUMP Circuit
نویسندگان
چکیده
A strategy employing moderate hypothermia for the replacement of the aortic arch is proposed to avoid the complications of profound hypothermic circulatory arrest. Two patients underwent the complete replacement of the aortic arch using three pumps - for the brain, thoracoabdominal aorta, and heart, respectively. There were no complications and the patients were extubated uneventfully. The method preserved the auto-regulation of the cerebral blood flow without high vascular resistance.

Clinical Results of Ascending Aorta and Aortic Arch Replacement under Moderate Hypothermia with Right Brachial and Femoral Artery Perfusion
BACKGROUND Selective antegrade perfusion via axillary artery cannulation along with circulatory arrest under deep hypothermia has became a recent trend for performing surgery on the ascending aorta and aortic arch and when direct aortic cannulation is not feasible. The authors of this study tried using moderate hypothermia with right brachial and femoral artery perfusion to complement the pitfa...

BACKGROUND Cerebral protection and circulatory management remains a controversial issue in aortic arch surgery. The present study reported surgical outcomes of arch repair using moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA) and unilateral selective antegrade perfusion (uSACP). METHODS From January 2004 and December 2012, 500 patients underwent hemiarch repair (HARCH) and 124 underwent total ...
