Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias, and its prevalence increases with age. Cognitive impairment (CI) is a frequent concomitant disorder in AF and is an additional factor in reducing the quality of life and adherence to treatment in such patients. AF is associated with an increased risk of dementia in patients with and without history of stroke. It is well known that AF and CI share common risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, coronary heart disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, obesity, etc. The available data show that AF and CI have common pathophysiological factors, which, in addition to stroke, include hypoperfusion, microhemorrhages, brain atrophy, systemic atherosclerotic vascular damage, endothelial dysfunction, and inflammation. Screening neuropsychological scales might be used to assess the state of cognitive functions in patients with AF, and contemporary neuroimaging methods allow detecting structural changes in the brain. Specific methods of treatment of CI in AF have not yet been developed. Optimal antithrombotic therapy is the main means of prevention of cerebrovascular events, and therefore CI in AF.

The article presents the experience of our team in various surgical methods of treating aortic pathology. Surgical pathology of the thoracic aorta, namely aneurysms and dissections, remains controversial for the «heart team». In recent years, endovascular aortic replacement (TEVAR) has proven itself as a treatment option for many aortic diseases with a mortality rate up to 7.5 %. According to the latest clinical recommendations, TEVAR has become the method of choice in the treatment of acute aortic dissection, showing better results compared to medical therapy and open surgery. However, the endovascular approach requires certain anatomical features that allow the correct placement of the stent-graft, which is not always possible. Thus, when the brachiocephalic arteries are involved in the pathological process, artificial blood circulation is required with the use of additional methods to protect the brain, such as cerebral perfusion and hypothermia. All these factors increase the risk of intra- and postoperative complications, as well as early mortality. Different methods of open surgery to replace all or most of the thoracic aorta are described, which represent a radical approach and require a high level of professional skills of the surgeon and experience in working with artificial blood circulation.
