RECRUITING

Retrograde Versus Antegrade Perfusion in Low-Moderate Hypothermia for Aortic Arch Surgery

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to compare brain function after surgical circulatory arrest using either antegrade perfusion or retrograde perfusion.
