Monitoring of antegrade selective cerebral perfusion for aortic arch surgery with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and near-infrared spectroscopy.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) during aortic arch surgery as a means of extending the safe period of systemic circulatory arrest using multimodality neuromonitoring to objectively quantify the physiologic responses. ⋯ Neuromonitoring guided ASCP may be expected to extend the safe period and is at least partly responsible for the absence of neurologic complications in this patient cohort.
