Institutional assessment reports on moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest in 358 acute type A aortic dissection cases, highlighting brain-protective surgical outcomes.
Brain-protective strategies for acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) remain controversial. Moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest (MHCA) without cerebral perfusion is not commonly used. However, we aimed to assess its safety and efficacy in 358 patients who underwent hemiarch replacement with MHCA for acute type A aortic dissection at our institution from August 2012 to August 2022.
