LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Relationship between intelligence and duration of circulatory arrest with deep hypothermia

Tom Treasure, MD, FRCS

Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery
St. George's Hospital
London SW17 0QT, United Kingdom

To the Editor:

I am grateful to Oates and colleaguesGo 1 for quoting our work, but our studies of circulatory arrest were undertaken in the Mongolian gerbil, not the golden hamster, as stated in their article. Our experiments relied on the unusual cerebral vasculature in this particular mammal, which enabled us to render the cortex ischemic by bilateral carotid occlusion while the animal survived on its vertebral supply. In other small mammals the carotids can be ligated bilaterally with impunity.
