Is moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest with selective antegrade cerebral perfusion superior to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in elective aortic arch surgery?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest with selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) is more beneficial than deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in elective aortic arch surgery. Altogether, 1028 papers were found using the reported search, of which 6 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. There were four retrospective obser...

276 * deep hypothermic circulatory arrest for concomitant procedures in patients undergoing heart transplantation
Conclusion: Concomitant procedures requiring deep hypothermic circulatory arrest during heart transplantation can be safely performed without compromising patient survival and donor allograft function over mid-term follow-up.

126 * extra-anatomic revascularisation for distal occlusion of the left or right common carotid artery in acute type a aortic dissection with cerebral malperfusion
Conclusion: Extra-anatomic bypass for distal LCCA or RCCA occlusion presents a valuable bail-out technique to restore cerebral perfusion during AADA repair, potentially reducing the increased incidence of neurological complications in patients with cerebral malperfusion.
