[Long-term retrograde cerebral perfusion in surgery of the aortic arch. Apropos of 2 cases].
The authors present two cases of aortic arch replacement for aortic dissection: one in a male patient 58 years old and the other in a female patient 78 years old. Cerebral protection during repair of the aortic arch was performed with retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP). Durations of RCP were 75 and 120 minutes respectively. Good neurological recovery in both patients appeared to confirm the efficacy of RCP with respect to cerebral protection during surgery of the aortic arch.
