[Analysis of extracorporeal circulation on ventricular septal defect complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension in 53 children].
Extracorporeal circulation and myocardial protection in 53 children with ventricular septal defect associated with severe pulmonary hypertension were reported. The average aortic cross-clamping time was 45.5 minutes. The hearts were defibrillated spontaneously in 35 patients. We emphasized that full understanding of the pathophysiological characteristics of ventricular septal defect associated with severe pulmonary hypertension in children is fairly important to the use of various extracorporeal circulation techniques during surgical intervention.
