Where this comes from

Abstract

We have developed a procedure for total aortic arch replacement using three separate Hemashield grafts and establishing deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion followed by antegrade cerebral perfusion. This method is technically simple and yields secure anastomoses.
