To the Editor:
We read with great interest the recent article by Jonsson and colleagues [1]. The purpose of this animal investigation was to define the ischemic threshold of antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) during deep hyperthermia circulatory arrest (DHCA) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy. We congratulate them for their excellent experimental design in using MRI techniques and biomarkers to evaluate cerebral perfusion, metabolism, and damage to define low-flow ACP, which may provide more evidence for avoiding injury to the brain when using ACP during DHCA.
It is well documented that combined ACP with
