RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The surgical approach to pathologies of the Ascending Thoracic Aorta (ATA) that compromise aortic root and the aortic arch is currently one of the most complex interventions in the spectrum of cardiac surgery, where circulatory arrest with cerebral perfusion plays an important role for Success postoperative and patient survival. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 57-year-old patient with the only history of arterial hypertension and an ATA Aneurysm that compromised segment of the aortic root up to segment 2 of the aortic arch. A successful Bentall surgery was performed, debranching supra-aortic vessels with Total Circulatory Arrest with Deep Hypothermic Cerebral Perfusion-Antegrade Bilateral. CONCLUSIONS: With the advent of new anesthetic and neuroprotection techniques, perioperative imaging protocols, advanced hemodynamic monitoring, and invaluable advances in perfusion and Extracorporeal Circulation with circulatory arrest, they have made this surgical challenge a valuable tool for today's cardiovascular surgeon.
