Low-Flow Perfusion Via the Innominate Artery During Aortic Arch Operations Provides Only Limited Somatic Circulatory Support

Aortic arch operations in pediatric patients using low-flow perfusion techniques have been standardized to a certain degree, but some of the often-stated beneficial effects have never been proven. Especially, the existence or efficacy of any subdiaphragmal perfusion still remains unclear.

Microvessel Angiogenesis: A Possible Cardioprotective Mechanism of External Counterpulsation for Canine Myocardial Infarction

It has been proposed that the beneficial effects of EECP observed in clinical studies may be due to the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and collateral development.
