Sutureless aortic valve implantation in patient with porcelain aorta via unclamped aorta and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest

open access: yesAnnals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2017
Severe atherosclerotic calcification of the ascending aorta, the so-called porcelain aorta, precludes cardiac surgeons from placing an aortic cross-clamp and direct aortic cannulation due to the increased risk of systemic embolism and stroke.

Axillary cerebral perfusion for arch surgery in acute type A dissection under moderate hypothermia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Backgound: Aortic arch surgery is still associated with increased mortality and morbidity especially in acute type A aortic dissection. Adequate brain protection is essential and commonly performed by either antegrade selective perfusion of the ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Cerebral mitochondrial dysfunction associated with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in neonatal swine. [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Cardiothorac Surg, 2018
OBJECTIVES Controversy remains regarding the use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in neonatal cardiac surgery. Alterations in cerebral mitochondrial bioenergetics are thought to contribute to ischaemia–reperfusion injury in DHCA. The purpose

Surgical embolectomy for acute massive pulmonary embolism: state of the art [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition that can potentially lead to death caused by right ventricular (RV) failure and the consequent cardiogenic shock.

Reduced cardiovascular mortality at moderate altitude: a putative role of physical activity and body mass

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Changes in near infrared spectroscopy during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest

open access: yesAnnals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2009
Monitoring cerebral oxygenation with near infrared spectroscopy may identify periods of cerebral desaturation and thereby the patients at risk for perioperative neurocognitive issues.

Does retrograde cerebral perfusion via superior vena cava cannulation protect the brain? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: The retrograde cerebral perfusion via cannulation of the superior vena cava is a widespread method for optimising protection of the brain during hypothermic circulatory arrest.

Differentiating Creatine and Phosphocreatine In Vivo Using 3 T 1H MR Spectroscopy

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 1896-1906, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Validation and improvements to the proton MR spectroscopic measurement of creatine and phosphocreatine in vivo at 3 T. Methods Spectral simulations were used to evaluate and explore the mitigation of LCModel fitting bias due to lineshape, signal‐to‐noise (SNR) and non‐metabolite backgrounds with a focus on phosphocreatine and the ...
