Synthetic cannabinoids have become a common drug of abuse in recent years and their toxicities have come to light as well. They are known to be notorious for the kidneys, with acute tubular necrosis, acute interstitial nephritis and rhabdomyolysis induced renal injury being the frequent nephrotoxic outcomes in users.

Objectives: This study investigates the impact of bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion time on outcomes in aortic arch surgery.
Methods: In total, 961 patients underwent either hemi arch (n = 385) or total arch replacement (n = 576) with bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion and moderate hypothermia management between 2006 and 2020 across 2 aortic centers. Antegrade cerebral perfusion time was categorized into 4 groups (≤30 min: n = 169, 30-60min: n = 298, 60-90min: n = 261, >90min: n = 233).
