title: Total arch replacement: technique of separate reimplantation of epi-aortic vessels.
abstract: Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) with moderate hypothermia is the method of brain protection during aortic arch repair requiring a circulatory arrest longer than 30 min at our institute. It facilitates the total arch replacement using the aortic arch branched graft, and results in acceptable mortality and morbidity for arch aneurysm or dissection.
