This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this protocol.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>From January 2020 to December 2022, 85 patients were treated with an integrated protocol incorporating bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) and moderate hypothermia, with measures to prevent the shedding of thrombus or endothelial debris (BACP group), while traditional protocols were applied to 273 additional patients (UACP group). Inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was performed to balance baseline characteristics. Three logistic regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between the two cerebral protection strategies and neurologic complications. Stepwise logistic regression was further employed to identify risk factors for cerebral complications.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Baseline characteristics were balanced after IPTW adjustment. The BACP group had a significantly shorter operative time (364.79 vs. 397.61\u00a0min, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.022), significantly fewer neurologic complications (5.6% vs. 15.9%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.032), and transient neurologic injury (3.0% vs. 12.5%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.035). Binary multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the cerebral complication risk was 3.14 times greater with the traditional protocol compared to the integrated protocol (odds ratio[OR]:3.14, 95%confidence interval[CI]:1.19\u20138.27, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.020). Stepwise logistic regression confirmed that cerebral complications were dramatically increased with unilateral ACP (OR:2.99, 95%CI:1.14\u20137.82, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.025), while bilateral ACP had a significant impact on decreasing cerebral complications.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our integrated protocol effectively minimizes postoperative cerebral complications.
