N2 - Cardiac surgery is associated with a significant risk of adverse outcomes, particularly neurologic and renal. Embolic events are the primary source of these deleterious consequences. Intraaortic filtration is the only current technology shown to effectively capture particulates released during cardiac procedures and decrease morbidity and mortality. Although most surgical candidates may potentially benefit from intraaortic filtration, some patients are more likely to experience improved outcomes. Based on the evidence reported in the literature and the extensive experience of the authors, the following opinion details the authors' rationale and recommendations for patient selection for intraaortic filtration during cardiac surgery.
