Fig 1 Refinement of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), brain protection, and body (core) temperature (BT). (FA = femoral artery; Asc.Ao = ascending aorta; AxA = axillary artery; SCP = antegrade selective cerebral perfusion; RCP = retrograde cerebral perfusion.)

Fig 3 Integrated total arch replacement using antegrade selective cerebral perfusion with right axillary artery perfusion. (1) Arch or distal arch aneurysm. (2) Ascending aorta and right axillary artery cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. (3) Induction of hypothermic circulatory arrest with the arch vessels clamped. (4) Selective cerebral perfusion with right axillary artery, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery perfusion. (5) Original stepwise technique. (6) Refined stepwise technique with mini-elephant trunk. (7) Distal anastomosis. (8) Graft-to-graft anastomosis. (9) Total arch replacement using quadrifurcated graft. Circled numbers show the turn of the anastomosis.
