[Selective cerebral perfusion with cold blood for the aortic arch surgery].
In seventeen patients with aortic arch aneurysms including seven emergency cases, the selective cerebral perfusion with cold blood (16 degrees C) was applied for the cerebral protection during the surgical procedure. Fifteen of them (88%) including the patient with the long cerebral perfusion (236 min) recovered perfectly and discharged. The selective cerebral perfusion with cold blood may be one of the safe and reliable methods for the repair of aortic arch aneurysm.
