[Heart operations on young children under deep hypothermia].
The authors discuss their clinical experience in the use of deep hypothermia in combination with auxiliary extracorporeal circulation. Operations were performed on 124 children (total mortality 23.4%). Lowest mortality was noted in correction of ventricular septal defect; 12 out of 82 patients died, which accounts for approximately 14.6%. A follow-up of the remote results shows that the method has no harmful effect on the central nervous system.
