Octin Health is a surgeon-led medical device innovator, dedicated to advance safety and efficiency in case of aortic arch surgery. The flagship innovation, the Elika Device, is developed and designed to modernize aortic arch interventions by reducing reliance on deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) and enabling more physiologically stable surgical conditions.

HITLAB conducted systematic review and meta-analysis of 432 peer-reviewed studies to synthesize evidence on techniques of aortic arch surgery, patient outcomes, associated procedural risk. The review further examined and analyzed key post-operative outcome such as permanent stroke, brain perfusion strategies, temperature exposure across diverse populations and surgical approaches.

The findings highlight common operative metrics like temperature and substantial effect of brain perfusion strategy over stroke outcome in aortic arch surgical techniques, underscoring the ongoing challenges and need for innovations like Elika Device.
