AbstractObjective: We sought to assess the optimal strategy for avoiding neurologic injury after aortic operations requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest. Methods: All 717 patients who survived ascending aorta–aortic arch operations through a median sternotomy since 1986 were examined for factors influencing stroke. Temporary neurologic dysfunction was assessed in all patients who survived the operation without stroke since 1993. Multivariate analyses were carried out to determine independent risk factors for neurologic injury. Results: Independent risk factors for stroke were as follows: age greater than 60 years (P <.001; odds ratio, 4.5); emergency operation (P =.02; odds ratio, 2.2); new preoperative neurologic symptoms (P =.05; odds ...
