Deep Hypothermia + Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion vs. Moderate Hypothermia + Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion for Arch Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Although there was no significant difference in clinically evident neurologic injury, this pilot study suggests that MHCA+ACP may be associated with a higher incidence of radiographic neurologic injury than DHCA+RCP in patients undergoing elective hemiarch replacement.
