===Class I Recommendations===
====Blood pressure control====
{{cquote|
1. Antihypertensive therapy should be administered to hypertensive patients with thoracic aortic diseases to achieve a goal of less than 140/90 mm Hg (patients without diabetes) or less than 130/80 mm Hg (patients with diabetes or chronic renal disease) to reduce the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and cardiovascular death. (Level of Evidence: B)
2. Beta adrenergic– blocking drugs should be administered to all patients with Marfan syndrome and aortic aneurysm to reduce the rate of aortic dilatation unless contraindicated. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
===Class IIa Recommendations===
====Blood pressure control====
{{cquote|
1. For patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm, it is reasonable to reduce blood pressure with beta blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers to the lowest point patients can tolerate without adverse effects. (Level of Evidence: B)
2. An angiotensin receptor blocker (losartan) is reasonable for patients with Marfan syndrome, to reduce the rate of aortic dilatation unless contraindicated. (Level of Evidence: B)}}

===Class I Recommendations===
====Brain protection during Ascending aortic and Transverse aortic arch surgery====
{{cquote|
1. A brain protection strategy to prevent stroke and preserve cognitive function should be a key element of the surgical, anesthetic, and perfusion techniques used to accomplish repairs of the ascending aorta and transverse aortic arch. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
===Class III Recommendations===
====Brain protection during Ascending aortic and Transverse aortic arch surgery====
{{cquote|
1. Perioperative brain hyperthermia is not recommended in repairs of the ascending aortic and transverse aortic arch as it is probably injurious to the brain. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
===Class IIa Recommendations===
====Brain protection during Ascending aortic and Transverse aortic arch surgery====
{{cquote|
1. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, selective antegrade brain perfusion, and retrograde brain perfusion are techniques that alone or in combination are reasonable to minimize brain injury during surgical repairs of the ascending aorta and transverse aortic arch. Institutional experience is an important factor in selecting these techniques. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
