ResumoOBJECTIVESAntegrade cerebral perfusion makes deep hypothermia non-essential for neuroprotection; therefore, there is a growing tendency to increase the body temperature during circulatory arrest with selective brain perfusion. However, very little is known about the clinical efficacy of mild-to-moderate hypothermia for ischemic organ protection during circulatory arrest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficiency of mild-to-moderate hypothermia for lower-body protection during aortic arch surgery with circulatory arrest and antegrade cerebral perfusion.
