An innovative arch-first surgical procedure under moderate hypothermia for acute type A aortic dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with acute type A aortic dissection involving the arch, the innovative arch-first surgical procedure could provide feasible and safe treatment outcomes, which brings us closer to the goal of performing surgery with moderate-to-mild systemic hypothermia with better cerebral, distal organ, and survival outcomes.
