Current status of neuroprotection in aortic arch surgery
https://doi.org/10.29001/2073-8552-2024-39-2-14-20
Abstract
There is no consensus regarding an optimal method of cerebral protection during aortic arch surgery. Achieving such an expert consensus seems to be an important condition for the further development of aortic arch surgery without risk for the patient. An overview of the current strategies for organ protection and a comparison of the results of single- and multicenter studies are presented.
