Summary
This study presents a dual cannulation strategy for aortic arch dissection, avoiding deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). This innovative approach ensures brain and spinal cord protection, potentially reducing complications associated with DHCA.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Neurological Protection
- Vascular Access
Background:
- Aortic arch surgeries often rely on deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), which carries significant risks.
- Alternative cannulation strategies are needed to mitigate DHCA-related morbidity and mortality.
