An improved method of topical cardiac hypothermia

LI Bonchek and GN Olinger

Current methods of myocardial protection usually employ together with topical hypothermia by pericardial lavage. Pericardial lavage is inconvenient, inconsistent, and noisy: it wastes blood: it cannot cool the right ventricle effectively. We use a new myocardial protection jacket to cool the heart during operation other than simple coronary bypass procedures. Myocardial temperatures are maintained at 7 degrees to 14 degrees C indefinitely without reinfusion of cardioplegia solution. The jacket is a more convenient and much more effective method of obtaining profound topical hypothermia.
