Case ReportsEmergency total aortic arch replacement for a renal transplant recipient by mild hypothermia with selective cerebral perfusion.
Hypothermia and immunosuppressive drugs may promote surgical wound infection. We successfully performed an emergency total arch replacement with mild hypothermia and selective cerebral perfusion for a renal transplant recipient. The postoperative course was almost uneventful without any surgical site infection.
