Brain injury after cardiopulmonary bypass reflects interacting risks from embolism, impaired cerebral perfusion, inflammation, and blood–brain barrier disruption. This narrative review examines monitoring, temperature
A technical report describes separate cerebral and lower-body perfusion during complex aortic repair, with a distal-first sequence and unproven comparative benefits.
This retrospective study of 109 patients undergoing emergent type A aortic dissection repair found that deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) times exceeding 30 minutes
This retrospective study assessed a standardized surgical protocol implemented in 2016 for managing acute Type A aortic dissection (AAAD). Comparing pre- and post-protocol cohorts,
This study evaluates the role of continuous monitoring of venous drainage flow and oxygen extraction (ERiO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in cerebral perfusion during
Background and objectives: The relationship between cerebral perfusion and new postoperative ischemic stroke in obese patients is not well defined. The aim of this
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) and retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) methods for reducing cerebrovascular events during acute
This study evaluates the effects of mild hypercapnia compared to normocapnia on cerebral blood flow and metabolism in porcine models post-cardiac arrest, with and
