Abstrakt: Local deep hypothermia was utilized as the sole method of myocardial protection in 113 consecutive aortic valve replacements. Thirty-six patients had simultaneous revascularization, mitral valve replacement, tricuspid valve replacement, or a combination of these. In follow-up for as long as 36 months there have been 3 hospital deaths (2.6%), all occurring in the group having isolated aortic valve replacement. No hospital deaths occurred among patients undergoing a combined procedure.
