The authors [1] present their experience in aortic arch replacement with circulatory arrest (CA) and selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) in three groups of patients using different degrees of hypothermia, namely 20°C, 25°C, and 28°C. In the 28°C cohort, they added a selective perfusion of the left subclavian artery, and SCP flow rate increased to 19 mL/kg/min to maintain a temporal artery pressure of approximately 60 mm Hg. Temperature during CA could be raised to 28°C safely with high SCP flow, without increase of the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
