Hypothermia during Surgical Treatment of Type A Aortic Dissection: A 16 Years' Experience.

Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is among the most challenging cases for surgical treatment and requires procedural expertise for its safe conduct. Aortic surgery has undergone several changes over the last years, especially concerning cerebral protection. The brilliant results obtained with the aid of selective anterograde cerebral perfusion led to a progressive increase of circulatory arrest temperature, with the rise of safe time along with a reduction of the extracorporeal circulation time and hypothermia-related side effects.
