Can regional cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring during circulatory arrest time predict postoperative neurological dysfunction in patients undergoing surgical pulmonary thromboendarterectomy? Useful index for short‐ and long‐term outcomes

Abstract

A hypothermic circulatory arrest is usually used to correct thoracic aorta pathologies.The emergency treatment of acute type A aortic dissection and elective repair of aortic arch pathologies are the most common indications for using hypothermic circulatory arrest. A hypothermic circulatory arrest can also be used for surgical pulmonary thromboendarterectomy in patients with chronic thromboembolic | © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
