[Risk factors in coronary artery bypass surgery. 55 observations]
Abstract:
The incidence of complications after aorto-coronary bypass surgery were studied in a series of 55 patients in relation to the duration of extra-corporeal circulation and the value of myocardial protection. The length of the period of extra-corporeal circulation played a significant role in the onset of complications whilst there was no significant difference between the group of patients operated upon under hypothermia and those in normothermia.
