Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="jocs12082-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive continuous monitoring method for measuring the oxyhemoglobin saturation of the brain tissue. NIRS monitoring can suggest neuronal hypoxia in the frontal‐brain before irreversible impairment of cellular metabolism. We report two cases of Type B aortic dissection surgery in which spinal regional perfusion monitoring was performed by placing two NIRS sensors on the back‐skin through T6–T8 and T9–T11 vertebraes. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12082 <italic>(J Card Surg 2013;28:291–294)</italic></p> </sec> </abstract>
