Abstract
In coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery there is no doubt that distal anastomoses can be performed with greater ease and precision with the ascending aorta crossclamped. However, we cannot find statistically significant differences in the quality of myocardial protection between the cold ischemic arrest by crossclamping the aorta under general hypothermia and local refrigeration and the technique of local occlusion of the artery to be bypassed while maintaining the perfusion of the rest of the myocardium [1] under general hypothermia at 24°C.
