Summary
Avoiding circulatory arrest during aortic surgery offers significant benefits. This approach reduced surgery time, hospital stay, and complications, improving patient outcomes in a recent clinical case.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Circulatory arrest is a standard technique for proximal aorta prosthetics.
- Emerging evidence suggests avoiding circulatory arrest may be beneficial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a clinical case of ascending aorta and aortic arch prosthetics without circulatory arrest.
- To highlight the advantages of avoiding circulatory arrest in complex aortic surgery.
Main Methods:
- A planned prosthetics of the ascending aorta and aortic arch was performed.
- A multibranch prosthesis (Intergard Woven 28 mm) was used.
- Mild hypothermia was employed, avoiding circulatory arrest.
Main Results:
- The patient was extubated 5 hours post-operation.
- The patient was discharged on the 7th day in satisfactory condition.
- Avoidance of circulatory arrest led to reduced surgery and hospitalization duration.
Conclusions:
- Omitting circulatory arrest in aortic prosthetics is a viable and beneficial strategy.
- This approach minimizes complications related to organ hypoperfusion.
- It offers a potentially safer alternative for patients undergoing complex aortic procedures.

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.

The thoracic section of the aorta begins at the T5 vertebra and extends to the T12 level at the diaphragm, initially progressing through the mediastinum to the left of the spinal column. Throughout its course in the thoracic segment, the thoracic aorta emits various offshoots known collectively as visceral and parietal branches. The branches that predominantly supply blood to visceral organs are termed visceral branches and include bronchial, pericardial, esophageal, and mediastinal arteries,...
