title: [Clinical experiences with cardioplegic injection in open heart surgery (author's transl)].
abstract: Two groups of 50 patients each who had undergone valve replacement with extracorporeal circulation, were examined. In the first group surgery had been performed only under coronary ischemia, whereas in the second group cardiac arrest was induced pharmacologically. IC CLUMP OCCURE MORE OFTEN. Also the amount of necessary defibrillation at occurrence of ventricular fibrillation was significantly lower. Besides it was extraordinary that after the cardiopulmonary bypass the consumption of positive inotropic drugs (Catecholamine) fsults injection-cardioplegia with its simple handling seemed evidently superior to coronary ischemia. But it remains to be seen, if injection-cardioplegia is equal to coronary perfusion.
