The aim of this study is to evaluate early postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing hemiarch replacement for acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) using hypothermic circulatory arrest without adjunctive cerebral perfusion, stratified according to guideline-based core temperature categories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The 358 patients who underwent surgical hemiarch replacement with hypothermic circulatory arrest, no cerebral perfusion, as organ protection for TAAD at Shiga University of Medical Science between August 2012 and August 2022 were included in this study. Patients were classified by nadir core temperature during circulatory arrest into low\u2013moderate hypothermia (20.1\u201324.0\u00a0\u00b0C; LMH,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200930), high\u2013moderate hypothermia (24.1\u201328.0\u00a0\u00b0C; HMH,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009212), and mild hypothermia (\u2265\u200928.1\u00a0\u00b0C; MH,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009116).

Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a non-linear association between nadir core temperature and stroke, with higher adjusted risk ratios observed at temperatures below approximately 27\u00a0\u00b0C. These associations were observed in the context of baseline imbalances, including a higher prevalence of carotid malperfusion in lower temperature groups.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients undergoing hemiarch replacement without cerebral perfusion, a greater reduction in nadir core temperature was not associated with improved neurological outcomes when core temperature was used as an indicator. The observed association between lower core temperature and adverse outcomes may reflect residual confounding related to preoperative or intraoperative malperfusion rather than a direct causal effect of temperature itself. These findings suggest that core temperature alone may be an insufficient surrogate for brain protection and should be interpreted cautiously in the evaluation of neurological risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-026-03915-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,28]],"date-time":"2026-02-28T04:24:41Z","timestamp":1772252681000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Organ protection via core temperature control in Type A aortic dissection using pure hypothermia alone"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Hodaka","family":"Wakisaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomoaki","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"3915_CR1","first-page":"163","volume":"2","author":"TD Yan","year":"2013","unstructured":"Yan TD, Bannon PG, Bavaria J, Coselli JS, Elefteriades JA, Griepp RB, et al.
