Pressure level required during prolonged cerebral perfusion time has no impact on neurological outcome: a propensity score analysis of 800 patients undergoing selective antegrade cerebral perfusion
CONCLUSIONS
We hereby present SACP data as a real-time curve, based on a large patient cohort containing a total of 800 patients. Our perfusion strategy employing a lower selective cerebral perfusion pressure (~50 vs ~80 mmHg) is not associated with a higher rate of neurological complications during aortic surgery. This finding demonstrates that this perfusion strategy is a safe protocol in a clinical setting for a large cohort.
