Abstrakt:	Background: Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) is adopted as an alternative to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) during aortic arch surgery. However, there is still no preclinical evidence to support the use of SACP associated with moderate hypothermia (28-30°C) instead of DHCA (18-20°C). The present study aims to develop a reliable and reproducible preclinical model of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with SACP applicable for assessing the best temperature management. Materials and Methods: A central cannulation through the right jugular vein and the left carotid artery was performed, and CPB was instituted.Animals were randomized into two groups: normothermic circulatory arrest without or with cerebral perfusion (NCA vs SACP). EEG monitoring was maintained during CPB. After 10 min of circulatory arrest, rats underwent 60 min of reperfusion. After that, animals were sacrificed, and brains were collected for histology and molecular biology analysis. Results: Power spectral analysis of the EEG signal showed decreased activity in both cortical regions and lateral thalamus in all rats during the circulatory arrest. Only SACP determined complete recovery of brain activity and higher power spectral signal compared to NCA ( p < 0.05). Histological damage scores and western blot analysis of inflammatory and apoptotic proteins like caspase-3 and Poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) were significantly lower in SACP compared to NCA. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and RNA binding protein 3 (RBM3) involved in cell-protection mechanisms were higher in SACP, showing better neuroprotection ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: SACP by cannulation of the left carotid artery guarantees good perfusion of the whole brain in this rat model of CPB with circulatory arrest. The present model of SACP is reliable, repeatable, and not expensive, and it could be used in the future to achieve preclinical evidence for the best temperature management and to define the best cerebral protection strategy during circulatory arrest.
