Summary

Moderate hypothermia offers a safer alternative for aortic arch replacement, avoiding complications associated with profound hypothermic circulatory arrest. This technique ensures brain blood flow autoregulation without increasing vascular resistance.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Surgery
Hypothermic Management
Aortic Arch Replacement

Background:

Profound hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) poses significant risks during aortic arch replacement.
Maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion is critical during complex aortic surgeries.

Observation:

A novel strategy utilizing moderate hypothermia was implemented for aortic arch replacement.
A three-pump system was employed for targeted organ perfusion: brain, thoracoabdominal aorta, and heart.

Findings:

Two patients underwent successful complete aortic arch replacement using the moderate hypothermia strategy.
No complications were observed, and both patients were extubated without issue.
The method effectively preserved cerebral blood flow autoregulation, avoiding high vascular resistances.

Implications:

This approach presents a potentially safer alternative to profound HCA for aortic arch surgery.
The technique may reduce the incidence of neurological and systemic complications.
Further research could validate this method for broader clinical application in aortic surgery.
