The authors conducted a retrospective review of two concurrent groups undergoing elective aortic transverse hemiarch reconstruction: Group DHCA underwent deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebral perfusion; group MHCA underwent moderate hypothermic (>25 degrees C) circulatory arrest with antegrade cerebral perfusion.

Results of moderate hypothermic arrest and antegrade cerebral perfusion (MHCA group) were compared with deep hypothermic arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion (DHCA) for management of hemiarch reconstruction using single institution data. The MHCA group was older and more often affected by atherosclerotic aneurysm. MHCA was associated with short

This analysis compared results of open repair for chronic Type B dissection (OAR) and endovascular repair (TEVAR) using propensity matching techniques. Freedom from rupture/reintervention at 10 years was 78%. Specific outcomes were similar for both types of intervention, but overall treatment efficacy was better for OAR.
