Low-flow perfusion technique for shaggy aortic arch

ConclusionWith this method, the intracranial temperature was sufficiently low at the time of ventricular fibrillation, and there was no need to increase the total pump flow. The low-flow perfusion method can prevent cerebral embolism by preventing atheroma destruction by the blood flow jet while maintaining the self-cardiac output during the cooling process.
