To the Editor

We read with great interest the article by Dong and colleagues [1] in which they observed retinal circulation of 6 piglets during retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) using fluorescein retinal angiography. We previously showed, with use of fluorescein retinal angiography, that RCP did perfuse in a retrograde manner through the human brain during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest [2].

In their article the authors reported that the RCP flow rate was regulated to maintain a perfusion pressure of 25 mm Hg at 5.5 to 9.5 mL/kg . . . [Full Text of this Article]
