Abstract

Near-infrared spectroscopy can be helpful for monitoring the adequacy of cerebral perfusion during cardiovascular surgery. We report changes seen in regional oxygen saturation due to intraoperative thrombosis of the left common carotid artery graft during hybrid aortic arch replacement for traumatic aortic injury.
