Anesthesia Management for the Personalized External Aortic Root Support (PEARS) Procedure: A Single-Center Experience
The PEARS procedure appears to be a viable alternative for preventive replacement of the aorta in selected patients with aortic aneurysms. Anesthesia is safe; in particular, profound deliberate hypotension can be used without relevant complications using multimodal monitoring, with electroencephalographic burst suppression as the guiding factor for cerebral perfusion. As published by other groups, PEARS has excellent outcomes in experienced centers.
