title: [Cold agglutinins in a cardiosurgical patient: a successfully operated case].
abstract: A technique is described for providing myocardial protection with cold cardioplegia in a patient with cold autoagglutinins. The operation was done in normothermia and the coronary system was perfused with a normothermic (+37 degrees C) NaCl 0,9% solution to remove the blood before in it introducing the cold (+4 degrees C) cardioplegic solution. With this technique, the patient underwent an uneventful operation to relieve right ventricular-outflow stenosis operation.
