Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Hypothermic fibrillatory arrest is a technique of myocardial preservation that has a long history of use in cardiac surgery. Numerous studies have documented its efficacy in various subgroups of patients with coronary artery disease. This report reviews the research support of the tenets of the technique and reports the results with its utilization in 2,801 consecutive patients having isolated myocardial revascularization.
