Key result
Hypothermic circulatory arrest for the repair of intraoperative thoracic aortic injuries resulted in no postoperative neurological complications and no hospital deaths among the five treated patients.
Why the study?
Does profound hypothermic circulatory arrest prevent major complications in patients with unexpected aortic arch injury during cardiovascular surgery?

Does profound hypothermic circulatory arrest prevent major complications in patients with unexpected aortic arch injury during cardiovascular surgery?
Profound hypothermic circulatory arrest is a safe and effective strategy for repairing unexpected major vessel injuries near the aortic arch during cardiovascular surgery, avoiding major neurological complications.
May support hypothermic circulatory arrest for unexpected aortic injuries; hypothesis-generating and requires larger prospective validation.

Saito et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Intraoperative injuries to the thoracic aorta (n=5). Hypothermic circulatory arrest was evaluated on Postoperative neurological complications and hospital death. Hypothermic circulatory arrest for the repair of intraoperative thoracic aortic injuries resulted in no postoperative neurological complications and no hospital deaths among the five treated patients.
