Abstract
The increase in cerebrovascular resistance observed after cold cerebral perfusion is caused by resistance vessel constriction and may be promoted by an altered microcirculation. Hypothermic circulatory arrest alone is associated with endothelium-dependent vasoparesis. Both could contribute to cerebral injury in the early hours after operation.
