Aortic arch repair surgery is a technically complex and challenging procedure to treat aortic pathologies. Despite advancements in perioperative care, detrimental neurological complications occur during or after surgery. The neurological complications increase the economic burden of healthcare, morbidity and quality of life for the patients, even if they survive. Stroke, for example, leads to an increase in healthcare and social care costs, requiring a subsequent lengthy rehabilitation. Milder neurological impairments include transient ischaemic attacks, confusion and delirium, necessitating longer intensive care and hospital stay. Currently applied cerebral monitoring modalities are…
