Safety of Moderate Hypothermia With Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion in Total Aortic Arch Replacement
Conclusions In this series, TOTAL with MHCA and ACP can be safely performed with acceptable operative risk. MHCA and ACP represent an effective strategy for TOTAL and may obviate the need for DHCA.

Outcomes of Planned Two-Stage Hybrid Aortic Repair With Dacron-Replaced Proximal Landing Zone
ConclusionsPlanned two-stage HAR with open first-stage proximal aortic replacement, followed by second-stage TEVAR with Dacron-replaced PLZ yields excellent short-term and long-term results, including low rates of reintervention likely due to the long-segment PLZ within the Dacron-replaced aorta. The technique should be considered in patients with even mild (>4.0 cm) ascending aortic dilation in whom HAR is otherwise the preferred treatment option.

Risk Prediction Model for Major Adverse Outcome in Proximal Thoracic Aortic Surgery
ConclusionsThe current study identified risk factors for major adverse outcome after proximal thoracic aortic surgery with HCA for degenerative pathology. The proposed simple, accurate model can quantify risk and facilitate physician-patient counseling prior to possible surgical intervention.

Risk Prediction Model for Major Adverse Outcome in Proximal Thoracic Aortic Surgery
ConclusionsThe current study identified risk factors for major adverse outcome after proximal thoracic aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest for degenerative pathology. The proposed simple, accurate model can quantify risk and facilitate physician-patient counseling before possible surgical intervention.
