Fifteen years of surgery for acute type A aortic dissection in moderate-to-mild systemic hypothermia{dagger} [CONVENTIONAL AORTIC SURGERY]

CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that selective antegrade cerebral perfusion in combination with moderate-to-mild systemic hypothermia (≥28 °C) can be safely and reproducibly applied to surgery for acute type A aortic dissection and offers sufficient neurological and visceral organ protection.
