title: Selective cerebral perfusion technique during aortic arch repair in neonates.
abstract: We describe selective cerebral perfusion techniques for repair of the aortic arch in neonates. These techniques may help protect the brain from ischemic injury caused by a cessation of cerebral perfusion for aortic arch reconstruction in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome or interrupted aortic arch.
