Official title
Neurologic Injury AAR: Neurologic Injury Following Aortic Arch Replacement: A Comparison of Two Different Cerebral Protection Strategies (A Pilot Study)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Investigators are seeking to learn how well different cooling temperatures along with different blood flow pathways to the brain reduce the risk of injury to the brain in participants planning to undergo elective aortic arch and hemiarch surgery. Participants will be randomized to receive a cerebral protection strategy of either: deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion (DHCA+RCP) or moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest and unilateral selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (MHCA+uSACP). Evidence of neurologic injury will be assessed with neurologic exams, neurocognitive tests, MRI imaging of the brain and measurement of plasma S-100 levels during post operative follow ups.
