Temperature Management for Aortic Arch Surgery

Edward P Chen et al. Semin Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Surgical treatment of aortic arch disease is a technically challenging procedure that requires complex circulation management strategies involving the use of hypothermic circulatory arrest. The definition of hypothermia has evolved with comfort and surgical adjuncts. This review describes the various circulation and temperature management strategies used during hemiarch and total arch replacement.

Keywords: aortic arch atheroma; circulatory arrest; deep hypothermic circulatory arrest; hypothermia; neuroprotection; therapeutic.
