Fig. 1 Common routes of arterial cannulation for the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass on acute aortic syndrome. (a) Right axillary cannulation using a tube graft sewn end-to-side. (b) Innominate artery cannulation using a tube graft sewn end to side. (c) Direct aortic cannulation using the Seldinger technique and epiaortic ultrasound/transesophageal echo to verify true lumen access (d) Right axillary cannulation using the Seldinger technique. (e) Right common carotid cannulation using a tube graft sewn end-to-side. (f) Left common carotid cannulation using a tube graft sewn end-to-side. Due to potentially complex dissection anatomy multiple arterial cannula­tion options must be considered with the goal perfusing the true lumen via the most feasible and expeditious route. In addition to the routes depicted in this gure, femoral artery and left subcla­vian cannulation are other options which can be utilized. In rare and what ought to be considered salvage cases, the aorta can be transected and cannulated directly, or cannulation can be achieved through the apex of the heart
Femoral Cannulation
Femoral cannulation has been traditionally preferred for rapid access and early cooling. Differential neurological outcomes have not been demonstrated for femo­ral cannulation versus other sites [3]. Femoral cannulation, especially using a per­cutaneous approach, is a safe strategy. The pitfalls of femoral cannulation include potential difculty with accessing the true lumen and the need for separate cannula­tion to provide cerebral perfusion during circulatory arrest.
Evolving Cannulation Complexity andStrategy
As comfort with circulatory arrest has grown, our institution has become bolder with cannulation choices. In cases where the innominate artery is spared of dissec­tion, free of signicant atherosclerosis, and a hemiarch replacement is planned, the

authors will frequently cannulate via 10mm graft sewn end-to-side to the innomi­nate artery with a partial occlusion clamp. However, this takes more time than routinely stated, so it has become less utilized institutionally. As more aggressive total arch replacement has become more commonplace, the authors favor central aortic cannulation (into the true lumen) when possible using transesophageal and epiaortic ultrasound guidance and a modied Seldinger technique (Fig. 1c) [4]. Simultaneous imaging is critical to conrm true lumen perfusion. While cooling, we proceed to split arterial perfusion and bypass the brachiocephalic vessels using a multibranch graft, as shown in Fig.2, that is later connected to a branch of the arch graft.
The experience from Emory has shown the benet of washout from retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) washout of debris from arterial manipulation during the cooling period. When using RCP, a 24 French cannula is placed in the superior vena cava immediately prior to circulatory arrest period with a Rummel tourniquet above the Azygous vein take off. This will be removed immediately after circulatory arrest so as not to obstruct venous return from the upper half of the body. The authors have used the SVC cannula for drainage in the context of bicaval cannulation and RCP but this conguration requires multiple connections to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. Institutionally we have begun to take advantage of both retrograde and ante­grade perfusion during circulatory arrest. Specics of perfusion management dur­ing the circulatory arrest period will be discussed later in the chapter.

Neuromonitoring/Neurophysiological Intraoperative Monitoring
Collectively termed neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring (NIOM), the most commonly employed modalities for monitoring neurologic function during aortic arch surgery include EEG, somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), motor evoked potentials (MEP), and cerebral oximetry by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), as depicted in Fig.3. The argument for overall NIOM use is early detection of neuromalperfusion. Measures can be instituted at this early point to reverse or minimize effects of the malperfusion such as suction embolectomy, adding arterial cannulation sites to watershed areas, or even simple measures like hemodynamic augmentation with increased central blood pressure. Opponents to NIOM suggest this monitoring leads to a lot of noise with false positive signals. The authors have found that while there is some noise, when the neuromonitoring is combined with clinical perspective, the information can be valuable for preserving neurologic patient outcomes [5].
Electroencephalography
Continuous EEG monitoring remains the primary NIOM modality utilized by the authors for all cases involving the aortic arch or hypothermic circulatory arrest, including hemiarch replacement. Although requiring specialized equipment,

Fig. 2 Common routes of cannulation for cerebral perfusion during circulatory arrest. (a) For retrograde cerebral perfusion a right-angle cannula is placed into the superior vena cava above the insertion of the azygous vein. (b) The innominate artery can be cannulated either percutaneously (as shown in the gure) or using a graft sewn end-to-side to the vessel. (c) Upon initiation of cir­culatory arrest, once the aorta has been transected, the ostia of the innominate and left common carotid arteries can be directly cannulated with balloon tipped catheters. (d) The right axillary artery can be cannulated either percutaneously (as shown in the gure) or using a graft sewn end­to-side to the vessel. (e) With an already established alternate route of arterial cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass, the innominate and left common carotid arteries can be sequentially debranched from the arch and sewn to a multibranch graft that is also connected to the bypass circuit, allowing for split arterial perfusion between the upper and lower body, and bilateral ante­grade cerebral perfusion during circulatory arrest. In addition to the options depicted in this gure, right or left common carotid artery cannulation remain available for establishing unilateral ante­grade cerebral perfusion, as shown in Fig. 1

additional set-up, and a dedicated neuromonitoring team intraoperatively, EEG can provide useful information especially in the case of acute aortic syndrome repair. When possible, without causing delay in denitive repair, the authors advocate its use routinely.
A reference EEG following induction of anesthesia but before cooling during CPB is obtained as a baseline. Anesthetic agents can dramatically inuence electro­cerebral activity, however it is important to establish the reference prior to the effects of hypothermia or any surgical manipulation. These objective data may be particu­larly important in the case of acute aortic syndrome with antecedent neurological injury or an imperfect or unreliable clinical neurological exam. Continuous EEG monitoring is maintained throughout the period of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Fig. 3 Neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring (NIOM) is a term that refers to multiple modalities that are employed to actively monitor neurological function and perfusion during sur­gery for aortic dissection. These modalities include electroencephalography (EEG), motor evoked potentials (MEPs), somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). EEG utilizes multiple detector electrodes placed on the patient’s scalp to monitor cerebral electrical activity. MEPs are produced by transcranial stimulation of the motor cortex with periph­erally placed detectors to read a response. SSEPs are produced by peripheral electrical stimulation with transcranial detection of somatosensory cortical response. NIRS use scalp monitors to deter­mine regional cerebral oxygen saturation

Electrocerebral activity follows a predictable pattern as cerebral hypothermia deep­ens and serves as surrogate for cerebral metabolism and energy consumption. Burst suppression typically develops between 15.7°C and 33.0°C [6, 7] with progression to complete electrocerebral inactivity (ECI) occurring between 12.5 °C and
27.2°C.Surface and body temperature measurements have been demonstrated to poorly correlate with brain temperature. There also exists signicant individual variability between temperature and electrocerebral activity [8]. Therefore, for a particular patient, extrapolating a prediction of cerebral metabolism based on core temperature or duration of cooling alone remains unreliable, highlighting the utility of continuous EEG monitoring for real-time acquisition of electrocerebral activity. This degree of monitoring seems especially pertinent when using more moderate degrees of hypothermia. In the authors experience, EEG has been very useful to determining adequate cerebral protection before circulatory arrest, and when used in combination with SSEPs and MEPs, has identied intraoperative stroke includ­ing areas of malperfusion from cannulation/dissection mismatch, when differential pressures exist between brain and systemic perfusion, or embolization. All of these instances were dealt with quickly with prompt reversal of the malperfusion, but would have resulted in prolonged regional ischemia without the neuromonitoring in place.
Cerebral Oximetry/Near Infrared Spectroscopy
While more commonly used in pediatric cardiac surgery, there is increased adoption of cerebral oximetry monitory by NIRS in adult cardiac [9] and aortic arch surgery [10, 11]. Attractive features of cerebral oximetry include its relative ease-of-use, ubiquity, simplied read-out, and real-time feedback. Regional ScO2 levels gener­ally increase from baseline during the period of cooling reaching a plateau prior to initiation of cerebral circulatory arrest after which they decline until cerebral perfu­sion is restored. Non-invasive cerebral oximetry historically has poor correlation with jugular bulb saturation [12] and limited data exist to suggest absolute satura­tion values to correlate with development or prevention of clinical neurological injury. Therefore, cerebral neuroprotection or perfusion strategies based on NIRS data alone remain nebulous. However, the reference to baseline and changes in sym­metry may be helpful to identify problems intraoperatively that are related to altered perfusion. The identication of a sudden decreased in left sided cerebral regional saturation with initiation of selective antegrade cerebral perfusion through the innominate artery prompting subsequent conversion to a bilateral antegrade cere­bral perfusion strategy is an example of directly actionable feedback that may be provided by NIRS monitoring. This has been exceeding helpful in the development of a protocol for selective arterial perfusion during hypothermic circulatory arrest with moderate hypothermia. Balanced oximetry suggests selective perfusion through one carotid is sufcient, but a drop in the contralateral saturations suggests

a need for bilateral perfusion. While this may add nothing for short circulatory arrest times below 15–20min, prolonged circulatory arrest times may benet from increasing unilateral ow and pressure or even from adding a perfusion cannula to the opposite carotid.
Prevention ofFurther Neurological Injury
Temperature Management
Hypothermia remains the cornerstone of any cerebral protection strategy when periods of altered cerebral perfusion are anticipated during repair of acute aortic dissection. Analogous to other systemic tissue beds, neuronal cellular metabolic rate and oxygen consumption are dependent on tissue temperature via reductions in enzymatic activity. Experimentally, cerebral metabolic activity has been shown to decrease initially by 6–7% per degree Celsius below 37 degrees [13]. This roughly correlates to a separate descriptor of temperature modulated tissue metabolism, the Q10 rule, which describes an approximately 50% reduction in metabolic rate for every 10 degree decrease in temperature [14]. The effects of tissue temperature on neuronal survival have be exploited by aortic surgeons for the purpose of circulatory arrest for decades, however recommended temperature nadirs and adjunctive strategies continue to evolve.
In order to more accurately classify temperature strategies in aortic arch surgery, a consensus denition of hypothermia stratied into 4 categories has been devised [15], as shown in Table1 [16]. Profound hypothermia (14°C) is sufcient without adjuncts to induce electrocerebral inactivity (ECI) in approximately 80% of patients. Whereas deep hypothermia (14.1–20°C) falls within a steeper section of Temperature­ECI curve and produces ECI with more individual variability, roughly 20–80% pre­dicted. Moderate and mild categories of hypothermia are less likely to yield ECI and correspond to shorter predicted protection times during hypothermic circulatory arrest [6, 15]. The safety of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) strategies whereby the patient is systemically cooled until ECI prior to “straight” circulatory arrest for periods up to 30min have been demonstrated during aortic arch surgery in a number of large series [8, 1719]. A large study of 394 patients who underwent

arch repairs with this strategy showed no diminished cognitive function and a hypo­perfusion-specic stroke rate of 1.8%, with an overall stroke rate less than 5% [20].
Despite both historical evidence and contemporary outcomes from Yale support­ing the safety of a DHCA strategy, there are drawbacks to deep hypothermia that provide vigor for alternate methods using more moderate degrees of hypothermia. The main disadvantages to lower temperatures include longer durations of cardio­pulmonary bypass needed for systemic cooling/rewarming and associated conse­quences. However, temperature specic issues such as hypothermia induced coaguloapathy may increase perioperative blood loss and the need for transfusion as well as the rate of reoperation for bleeding [2123].
In order to achieve similar or superior neurological outcomes with warmer sys­temic and cerebral temperatures, adjunctive perfusion strategies and more efcient operative techniques are aimed at reducing time spent with relative cerebral hypo­perfusion. It is the author’s position that there is no truly “safe” duration of circula­tory arrest regardless of temperature nadir or adjunctive measures that can ensure cerebral protection for all patients. Minimizing, ideally eliminating, time spent in sub-physiological cerebral perfusion remains our goal for all aortic procedures. Compared with elective aortic arch repair, acute dissection with or without anteced­ent injury remains a risk factor for neurological injury, further highlighting the need for speed in this particular patient group.

Adjunctive Cerebral Perfusion During Systemic Circulatory Arrest
Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion
The technique of retrograde cerebral perfusion exploits the anatomical lack of valves between the superior vena cava and the cerebral venous vasculature allowing perfusate to ow retrograde to the brain. A 24 french or similar cannula connected to the arterial limb of the CPB circuit is placed into the SVC within the chest and the SVC encircled by a snare above the azygous insertion (Fig.4a). With the tourniquet cinched, the cere­bral venous system can be selectively pressurized though the SVC cannula. RCP Flow has traditionally been targeted in the range of 100–300ml/min at 10–12°C.The authors transduce venous pressure through the side-arm of an introducer placed by anesthesia in the right internal jugular vein and increase ow to the achieve a venous pressure of 25mmHg. Frequently RCP ows >500ml/min are required to achieve pressure target of 25mmHg and to observe retrograde ow from the innominate and left common carotid ostia. Signicant oxygen and glucose delivery to the brain have not been dem­onstrated during RCP [24], so this technique in isolation is frequently coupled with deeper levels of hypothermia or shorter circulatory arrest periods. However, RCP does provide ongoing regional cooling, lowering cerebral metabolic demands even further. Additionally, RCP may “ush” out the arterial system of both air and possibly particu­late emboli. Proponents of RCP cite the avoidance of additional arterial manipulation to minimize both local arterial injury and propagation of emboli [25].

Fig. 4 In patients undergoing total arch replacement, the authors’ preference is central aortic can­nulation into the true lumen using the Seldinger technique and epiaortic ultrasound/transesopha­geal echo verication. During cooling, the innominate and left common carotid arteries are debranched from the aortic arch using a vascular stapler and sewn to a multibranch graft connected to a separate arterial line from the bypass circuit. In this way, unilateral cerebral perfusion is main­tained during the relatively brief time it takes to sew the contralateral anastomosis, with bilateral cerebral perfusion maintained once both anastomoses are complete. This provides split upper and lower body perfusion prior to initiation of circulatory arrest
507
Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion
In order to precisely mimic natural cerebral blood ow during systemic circulatory arrest, antegrade perfusion must be established to all three arch vessels to supply both carotid arteries and both vertebral arteries. However, a number of ACP tech­niques with more limited antegrade access have been successfully described [26]. Most commonly, especially in the case of hemiarch replacement, is selective ante­grade cerebral (sACP) perfusion via the innominate artery. Access for innominate sACP can be accomplished in a number of ways—percutaneous innominate can­nulation (Fig.4b), a graft conduit anastomosed end-to-side to the innominate, ostial balloon-tipped cannulation through an open arch (Fig.4c), or axillary cannulation (Fig.4d) with occlusion of the proximal innominate artery. The Circle of Willis is incomplete in up to 70% of the population (LF), however sufcient extracranial col­laterals exist in the vast majority of patients allowing antegrade perfusion through the innominate artery to supply both cerebral hemispheres. Similar collaterals allow clamping of the innominate artery or the common carotid proximal to the bifurca­tion without regional malperfusion. However, a known incomplete Circle of Willis

or signicant ipsilateral carotid stenosis may represent relative contraindications to this technique. During innominate sACP, perfusate ow is established around 6–10ml/kg/min and increased or decreased to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 40–60mmHg as measured in a right upper extremity arterial line [3]. Bilateral ACP strategies require access to both the left common carotid as well as the innominate and are more typically employed during total arch replacement (Fig.4e). Despite the intuitive sense that bilateral ACP would be more physiological than sACP, stud­ies have failed to demonstrate superior neurological outcomes or decreased mortal­ity with this technique [27].
Neuroprotection asaFunction ofRepair Technique andPerfusion Strategies: Buffalo Trunk Technique—Shaggy Aorta Protocol (RCP/ACP)
The technique for total arch replacement with frozen elephant practiced at the University of Colorado is a modication of the FET utilizing a separate branched graft for the brachiocephalic vessels and a branched graft–stent graft construct for arch and proximal descending aortic reconstruction. Longer durations of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest have been associated with worse postoperative neu­rologic dysfunction including stroke in patients undergoing arch replacement [28,
29]. The Buffalo Trunk technique [30] represents the authors efforts to minimize
(ideally to eliminate) the period of cerebral, spinal, and systemic ischemia through operative and technical efciency. Combined with optimizing cerebral perfusion by replacing dissected arch vessels, the Buffalo trunk procedure and other similar oper­ations represent a method of neuroprotection as a function of the dissection repair strategy and technique.
In cases of dissection extending into the head vessels, our practice is to identify the extent of dissection and replaced the portion of the involved common carotid arteries up to the level of the internal and external bifurcation through an extended or separate cervical incision if necessary. The more severely affected side is typi­cally debranched rst in an end-to-end fashion to a separate trifurcated branched graft which is connected to a “Y’d” arterial limb of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. The contralateral side is subsequently debranched while perfusion is contin­ued from the previously repaired side. A separate branched graft for the supraaortic vessels allows an independent connection to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit and enables bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion independent from body perfusion (Fig.2). Central or peripheral cannulation is performed and CPB instituted prior to brachiocephalic debranching in order to begin the process of systemic cooling and creates some mild cerebral hypothermia during clamping of head vessels. A shunt during either carotid or innominate artery anastomosis is not typically needed due to contralateral perfusion through an intact circle of Willis and other arterial collat­erals. Electroencephalography, cerebral oximetry by near-infrared spectroscopy, and other non-invasive neuromonitoring are used continuously to monitor for changes during a test occlusion of the head vessel and while proximally occluded for debranching. Early separation of the innominate and left common carotid

arteries from the aorta in this technique may theoretically reduce the risk of anterior circulation emboli. However, with an anomalous left vertebral artery originating from the arch, the posterior circulation remains at risk, highlighting the importance of minimizing excessive aortic manipulation.
Patients are systemically cooled to moderate levels of hypothermia (20–28°C) as the arch vessels are debranched. Following separation of the innominate and left common carotid from the aortic arch, a guidewire is advanced from the groin into the proximal transverse arch. Intravascular ultrasound is performed to identify the dissection anatomy and conrm true-lumen wire placement. Exchange for a stiff guidewire will serve as a rail for FET deployment into the true lumen. Transesophageal echo and uoroscopy may be used as adjuncts to assess wire positioning, but do not supplant the need for IVUS to prevent a wire path that could traverse multiple fenestrations.
In acute aortic dissection, the authors will employ a “shaggy aorta” protocol for cerebral perfusion consisting of a 3-min period of RCP followed by subsequent ACP for the remaining duration of systemic circulatory arrest. The sequential com­bination of both cerebral perfusion adjuncts aims to optimize cerebral hypothermia, provide a short period of deairing and ushing of potential emboli, and sufcient oxygen and metabolite delivery. Arterial line management for both hemiarch and total arch operations utilizing the “shaggy aorta” protocol are shown in Fig.5.
During systemic circulatory arrest, the aortic arch is transected and the Buffalo trunk graft-stent graft construct is advanced into the proximal descending thoracic aorta antegrade over the guidewire. The stent graft is released from the construct and further advanced until the proximal edge is ush with the cut edge of the divided aorta. An external felt strip, the aortic wall, the surgical graft, and the proximal end of the stent graft are incorporated in a single running external suture line comprising the distal anastomosis. Systemic circulation is recommenced though the perfusion limb of the aortic graft. The left subclavian artery and the separate branched graft to the innominate artery and LCCA are anastomosed to the aortic graft after comple­tion of additional procedures to the aortic root and myocardial reperfusion. The completed arch replacement is shown in Fig.6.

Pharmacological Neuroprotection
Various pharmacologic agents have been evaluated for their neuroprotective proper­ties with regard to aortic surgery. These drugs act through a range of mechanisms which include the following categories: cardiovascular modulators, anti­inammatories and immunomodulators, antioxidants, anti-apoptotic agents, drugs reducing neuronal excitotoxicity, drugs that reduce metabolic demand, and osmotic agents or diuretics to reduce tissue swelling. The literature on pharmacological neu­roprotection is vast resulting in signicant confusion as both agonists and inhibitors of certain receptors, or pathways, have demonstrated efcacy in different studies. For example, modulators of vascular tone can improve cerebral or spinal cord
