Which Method of Cerebral Protection Do You Prefer to Use for Aortic Arch Surgery?

Starting with the inaugural issue, we would like the AORTA journal to feature a special section, “Poll the Editorial Board,” in which readers ask questions and the journal provides a poll of answers from the Editorial Board. In this way, we hope to assess the thought and practice patterns of the Editorial Board. The question for the first issue was: Which method of cerebral protection do you favor during aortic arch surgery? ● Straight deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) ● Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion ● Retrograde cerebral perfusion ● DHCA or cerebral perfusion, depending on case complexity
