Abstract
A series of experiments on healthy dogs is described. Coronary perfusion during aortic occlusion was compared with local, myocardial hypothermia according to Bretschneider. The evaluation of postoperative performance of the heart was made by ventricular function studies. Local hypothermia was superior to coronary perfusion in preserving the heart muscle during 60 minutes of aortic occlusion.Keywords
