Garlic, Ginger, Ginkgo and Ginseng and the Effects on the Perioperative Period (EP Video)

Our objective was to determine if antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) and retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) combined with deephypothermia circulatory arrest in aortic arch surgery results in different mortality and neurologic outcomes.

The early experience and outcome of this strategy appears promising in highly selected patient groups. Here we report a case of early structural valve degeneration in the aortic and mitral position in a patient with chronic hemodialysis successfully treated with transthoracic transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation.
