Perfusion. 2021 Sep;36(6):634-636. doi: 10.1177/0267659120960311. Epub 2020 Sep 16.

Abstract

We present a case of antegrade cerebral perfusion based on a circuit with a centrifugal pump for general open-heart surgery to achieving cerebral protection during a challenging hybrid aortic arch repair.

Keywords: antegrade cerebral perfusion; aortic arch surgery; cerebral protection; hybrid aortic arch replacement; supra-aortic vessels debranching.
