Participants are grouped according to whether release of the aortic cross-clamp is required to construct the distal anastomosis, and therefore whether selective antegrade cerebral perfusion is applied. Group membership follows from the intraoperative surgical requirement and is not assigned by the investigators. All participants receive a single protocol-specified general anesthesia and ventilation regimen, identical in both groups, so that variables known to act on optic nerve sheath diameter, in particular arterial carbon dioxide tension, volatile agent concentration and airway pressure, are held constant. Because this regimen is assigned by the protocol, the study is registered as interventional. Bilateral optic nerve sheath diameter and optic nerve diameter will be measured by ultrasonography, and middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity by transcranial Doppler, at three time points: before anesthesia induction (T0), at the end of surgery after hemodynamic stabilization in the operating room (T1), and at postoperative hour 24 in the intensive care unit (T2). Regional cerebral oxygen saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy and the electroencephalographic suppression ratio derived from bispectral index monitoring will be recorded intraoperatively. Delirium will be screened at postoperative hour 24 using the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC), with a total score of 2 or more considered a positive screen.
