title: Pressure-adjusted antegrade brain perfusion for surgery of the aortic aneurysm.
abstract: Determining cerebral blood flow during circulatory arrest in patients undergoing surgery for aortic aneurysms has been traditionally based on body weight. We report the use of per-aortic antegrade cerebral perfusion regulated by perfusion pressure using a triple lumen cardioplegia catheter thus optimising cerebral flow.
