Frozen Surgery Techniques Offer Hope for Heart Operations
Cleveland research links animal hibernation to deep freeze methods for heart surgery. Dr. David S. Leighninger at Western Reserve University details cooling to about 70 degrees to allow 15 minutes of operation with minimal bleeding, using cold circulating antifreeze and blankets to induce hypothermia. Dr. Earle B. Kay reports successful operations on cyanotic hearts at St. Vincent's Charity Hospital, never dropping below 90 degrees. The goal is easier valve work and potential tumor treatment, with trials on animals to mirror human heart defects.
