Antegrade cerebral protection in thoracic aortic surgery: lessons from the past decade [PDF]
Objective: Prolonged deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) adversely affects outcome and quality of life in thoracic aortic surgery. Several techniques of antegrade cerebral perfusion are routinely used: bilateral selective antegrade cerebral ...

Continuous cerebral hemodynamic measurement during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest
While survival of children with complex congenital heart defects has improved in recent years, roughly half suffer neurological deficits suspected to be related to cerebral ischemia. Here we report the first demonstration of optical diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) for continuous and non-invasive monitoring of cerebral microvascular blood flow ...

The ARCH Projects: design and rationale (IAASSG 001) [PDF]
OBJECTIVE A number of factors limit the effectiveness of current aortic arch studies in assessing optimal neuroprotection strategies, including insufficient patient numbers, heterogenous definitions of clinical variables, multiple technical strategies ...

Post-TTM Rebound Pyrexia after Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Results in Sterile Inflammation and Apoptosis in Cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Introduction. Fever is frequently observed after acute ischemic events and is associated with poor outcome and higher mortality. Targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended for neuroprotection in comatose cardiac arrest survivors, but pyrexia ...

Personalized approach in brain protection by hypothermia: individual changes in non-pathological and ischemia-related glutamate transport in brain nerve terminals [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Both deep and profound hypothermia are effectively applied in cardiac surgery of the aortic arch, when the reduction of cerebral circulation facilitates operations, and for the prevention of ischemic stroke consequences.

Different techniques of distal aortic repair in acute type A dissection: impact on late aortic morphology and reoperation [PDF]
Objective: To compare three different techniques of distal aortic repair in acute type A (de Bakey type I) aortic dissection and to evaluate their impact on the late morphology of the aortic arch and descending aorta and on the incidence of reoperation ...

Successful resuscitation of an elderly man with deep accidental hypothermia using portable extracorporeal circulation in the emergency department: a case report [PDF]
Introduction Deep accidental hypothermia (body temperature below 28°C) is rare and has a high mortality rate. Successful resuscitation usually occurs in the young, but a prompt intervention using a portable extracorporeal cardiopulmonary circulation ...
