Objectives: New temperature management concepts of moderate and mild hypothermic circulatory arrest during aortic arch surgery have gained weight over profound cooling. Comparisons of all temperature levels have rarely been performed. We performed direct and indirect comparisons of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) (≤20°C), moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA) (20.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 222 studies involving 43,720 patients were reviewed to compare outcomes, primarily looking at operative mortality rates and secondary factors like stroke and organ failure.
- * Results showed that unilateral ACP had a lower postoperative mortality rate (6.6%) compared to bilateral ACP (9.1%), RCP (7.8%), and DHCA (9.2%), along with different rates of disabling stroke across the methods.
Introduction: Patients with a Fontan circulation are at risk for sequelae of Fontan physiology during follow-up. Fontan physiology affects all organ systems and an overview of end-organ damage is needed.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of abnormalities in multiple organ systems for patients with a longstanding Fontan circulation.
