Does profound local cardiac hypothermia provide safe myocardial protection in patients undergoing resection of the ascending aorta?

Population

8 patients undergoing resection of the ascending aorta (5 with simultaneous aortic valve replacement, 3 with acute dissections, 1 with cardiac tamponade).

Intervention

Profound local cardiac hypothermia for myocardial protection during prolonged aortic cross-clamping.

Outcome

Operative or hospital deaths and complications related to the cooling technique.hard clinical

Profound local cardiac hypothermia offers a satisfactory and safe alternative for myocardial protection during prolonged aortic cross-clamping for ascending aorta resection.
