With the use of conventional cardiopulmonary bypass and moderate hypothermia, primary intracardiac repair of large ventricular septal defects was performed in 30 children below the age of two years. All babies were falling to thrive and suffered from cardiac failure resistant to medical therapy, or had evidence of early pulmonary vascular disease. Two patients died after the operation, giving an operative mortality of 6.7%. Twenty-eight survivors have been followed for periods of one month to two and a half years. All are thriving and have normal or mildly enlarged hearts on their chest skiagrams. Primary intracardiac repair of large ventricular septal defects can be performed in infants and small children with a low operative risk when the standard cardiopulmonary bypass technique is being used.

In humans, mild or moderate hypothermia has been used to reduce tissue damages, particularly after cardiac or spinal cord injuries and during subsequent surgeries.

D002315 Cardiopulmonary Bypass Diversion of the flow of blood from the entrance of the right atrium directly to the aorta (or femoral artery) via an oxygenator thus bypassing both the heart and lungs.

D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
