We read with interest the article entitled ‘Hypothermic circulatory arrest with moderate, deep or profound hypothermic selective antegrade cerebral perfusion: which temperature provides best brain protection?’ by Khaladj et al. [1]. Recent developments such as improved circulatory support, collagen-impregnated Dacron grafts, valved conduits and all with new operational techniques have resulted in improved outcomes for patients undergoing replacement of either the ascending aorta or transverse arch.
