Abstract
A 44-year-old woman underwent resection of a massive facial arteriovenous malformation under profound hypothermia and low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass. A left ventricular vent through a small left anterior thoracotomy avoided ventricular distention associated with peripheral cannulation. Low-dose aprotinin was used to improve hemostasis. These techniques thus show promise for the safe application of profound hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass in noncardiovascular operations.
