“…To protect organs from ischemic damage, surgery is usually performed during deep hypothermia. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest or low-flow CPB has long been practiced in the repair of congenital heart disease in neonates, and of aneurysms of the thoracic aorta and giant intracranial aneurysms in adult patients (Mahle et al, 2000;Gega et al, 2007;Levati et al, 2007;Tabbutt et al, 2008). Although the protective potential of deep hypothermia is unquestionable, little is known about the mechanisms through which it protects organs or how to maximize its efficacy.…”

Various cardiovascular operations are performed during conditions of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Here we investigated the effects of deep hypothermia on the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) conjugation pathway using a clinically relevant animal model of deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (DHCPB). Deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass induced a marked activation of the SUMO conjugation pathway and triggered a nuclear translocation of SUMO2/3-conjugated proteins. Furthermore, DHCBP significantly modified gene expression. Activation of the SUMO conjugation pathway is believed to protect neurons from damage caused by low blood flow. This pathway may, therefore, play a key role in defining the outcome of cells exposed to DHCPB.

“…For instance, recently, the Yale group has published a report with a large cohort of patients (17). Nevertheless, it seems that, presently, the use of profound hypothermia as the only mode of cerebral protection mostly belongs to history and must only be used in exceptional circumstances when nothing else is possible.…”

Open repair techniques in the aortic arch are still superior

Conventional arch replacement can be carried out in a great majority of patients. Hybrid procedures are often as invasive and technically difficult as conventional ones. Moreover, their immediate results are, in many reported experiences, not better and their long-term results less favourable than the ones observed with conventional methods. So, yes, the open conventional arch replacement is still "the gold standard".

“…Performing a thoracotomy and placing the patient on circulatory arrest is associated with some risk [7]; however, these risks were weighed against the potential injury of the patent grafts or pseudoaneurysm. We believed that our approach was best, allowing for prevention of rupture and keeping the patent grafts intact.…”

“…The first reported bypass grafting for an aberrant left coronary artery was done in 1977 using a saphenous vein bypass from the aorta to the left main coronary artery [6]. The internal mammary artery has been favored for CABG in children because of superior patency rates as compared with saphenous vein grafts and its ability to grow with the child [7].…”
