  • Title: Brain protection in aortic arch aneurysm: antegrade or retrograde?
    Author: Harky A, Fok M, Bashir M, Estrera AL.
    Journal: Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2019 Jan; 67(1):102-110. PubMed ID: 29299821.
    Abstract:
    During open aortic arch repair, there is an interruption of cerebral perfusion and to prevent neurological sequelae, the hypothermic circulatory arrest has been established to provide sufficient brain protection coupled with adjuncts including retrograde and antegrade cerebral perfusion. To date, brain protection during open aortic arch repair is a contested topic as to which provides superior brain protection with little evidence existing to suggest supremacy of one modality over the other. This article reviews current literature reflecting on key and emerging studies in brain protection and their associated outcomes in patients undergoing open aortic arch surgery.
