A simple method of cold coronary perfusion
H Laks, HB Barner and GC Kaiser
Hypothermic coronary perfusion lengthens the safe duration of anoxic
arrest. Intermittent selective hypothermic coronary perfusion provides
extended myocardial protection. We describe a method of achieving profound
myocardial hypothermia by selective deep hypothermic coronary perfusion
using a cooling coil without a separate pump head.
