Is exposure of the superior sagittal sinus necessary in the interhemispheric approach?
In this study, we demonstrate a significant increase in the angle of view after complete exposure of the SSS, targeting either deep (anterior cerebral artery) or more shallow structures (free falx edge).
PF has very high concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and IL-8, after CPB but not the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10. The PF may be a depot for the harmful inflammatory cytokines after CPB, and removing the PF could lower serum concentrations.
