Abstract: During open aortic arch replacement, various levels of hypothermia and other adjunctive techniques (ie, selective antegrade and/or retrograde cerebral perfusion) have been used as brain protection strategies. In addition, deep hypothermia may be beneficial for prolonged myocardial protection, which may be required during a complex arch repair. Each mode of brain and myocardial protection and distal organ perfusion has its proponents, all with a specific rationale for their approach.
