Supports perioperative dexmedetomidine for myocardial protection in high-risk aortic surgery; extends RCT evidence to this population.
Does perioperative dexmedetomidine reduce myocardial ischemia and hemodynamic instability in high-risk patients undergoing aortic vascular surgery?
In high-risk patients undergoing aortic vascular surgery, perioperative dexmedetomidine infusion provides myocardial protection and stabilizes hemodynamics, though at the cost of increased hypotension and bradycardia.
