Abstract Background Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP), including unilateral and bilateral, is most commonly used way for cerebral protection in aortic surgery. There is still no consensus on the superiority of the two methods. Our research was aimed to investigate the clinical effects between u-ACP and b-ACP. Methods 321 patients with type A aortic dissection were studied retrospectively. 124 patients (38.6%) received u-ACP and 197 patients(61.4%) received b-ACP. We compared the incidence of postoperative neurological complications and other collected data between two groups. We also analyzed perioperative variables in order to find the potential associated factors for neurolocial dysfunction (ND). Results For u-ACP group, 54 patients (43.5%) had postoperative neurological complications including 22 patients (17.7%) with permanent neurologic dysfunction (PND) and 32 patients (25.8%) with temporary neurologic dysfunction (TND). For b-ACP group, 47 patients (23.8%) experienced postoperative neurological complications including 16 patients (8.1%) of PND and 31 patients (15.7%) of TND. The incidence of PND and TND were significantly different between two groups along with shorter CPB time (p = 0.016), higher nasopharyngeal temperature (p ≦ 0.000), shorter awakening time (p = 0.030) and lower incidence of hypoxia (p = 0.022). Furthermore, multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis confirmed that preoperative neurological dysfunction (OR = 1.20, P = 0.028), CPB duration (OR = 3.21, P = 0.002 ) and type of cerebral perfusion (OR = 1.48, P = 0.017) were strongly associated with postoperative ND. Conclusions In our study, we found that b-ACP procedure had many advantages compared to u-ACP and we inferred that b-ACP may be more suitable for patients with type A AD undergoing total arch replacement.

There is still no consensus on the superiority of the two methods. Our research was aimed to investigate the clinical effects between u-ACP and b-ACP. Methods: 321 of 356 patients with type A aortic dissection were studied retrospectively. 124 patients (38.6%) received u-ACP and 197 patients(61.4%) received b-ACP. We compared the incidence of postoperative neurological complications and other collected data between two groups. We also analyzed perioperative variables in order to find the potential associated factors for neurolocial dysfunction (ND).

For b-ACP group, 47 patients (23.8%) experienced postoperative neurological complications including 16 patients (8.1%) of PND and 31 patients (15.7%) of TND. The incidence of PND and TND were significantly different between two groups along with shorter CPB time (p=0.016), higher nasopharyngeal temperature (p≦0.000), shorter ventilation time (p=0.018) and lower incidence of hypoxia (p=0.022). Furthermore, multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis confirmed that preoperative neurological dysfunction (OR=1.20, P= 0.028), CPB duration (OR=3.21, P=0.002 ) and type of cerebral perfusion (OR=1.48, P=0.017) were strongly associated with postoperative ND. Conclusions: In our study, we found that b-ACP procedure had shorter CPB time, milder hypothermia, shorter ventilation time, lower incidence of postoperative hypoxia and neurological dysfunction compared to u-ACP. Meanwhile, we discovered the incidence of ND was independently associated with there factors, including preoperative neurological dysfunction, CPB time and type of cerebral perfusion.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of unilateral anterograde cerebral perfusion (UACP) and bilateral anterograde cerebral perfusion (BACP) for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods: A systematic review of MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases (last search: August 7 , 2021) was performed according to the PRISMA statement. Studies directly comparing UACP versus BACP for ATAAD were included. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed. Results: Eight retrospective cohort studies were identified, incorporating 2416 patients (UACP: 843, BACP: 1573). No statistically significant difference was observed regarding in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR]:1.05 [95% Confidence Interval (95%CI):0.70-1.57]), permanent neurological deficit (PND) (OR: 0.94 [95%CI:0.52-1.70]), transient neurological deficit (TND) (OR: 1.37 [95%CI:0.98-1.92]), renal failure (OR: 0.96 [95%CI:0.70-1.32]), and re-exploration for bleeding (OR: 0.77 [95%CI:0.48-1.22]). Meta-regression analysis revealed that PND and TND were not influenced by differences in rates of total arch repair, Bentall procedure and concomitant CABG in UACP and BACP groups. Cardiopulmonary bypass time (Standard Mean Difference [SMD]:-0.11 [95%CI:-0.22, 0.44]), Cross clamp time (SMD:-0.04 [95%CI:-0.38, 0.29]) and hypothermic circulatory arrest time (SMD:-0.12 [95%CI:-0.55, 0.30]) were comparable between UACP and BACP. Intensive care unit stay was shorter in BACP arm (SMD:0.16 [95%CI:0.01, 0.31]), however, length of hospital stay was shorter in UACP arm (SMD:-0.25 [95%CI:-0.45, -0.06]). Conclusions: UACP and BACP had similar results in terms of in-hospital mortality, PND, TND, renal failure and re-exploration for bleeding rate in patients with ATAAD. ICU stay was shorter in the BACP arm while LOS was shorter in the UACP arm.
