Abstract

In dogs the usually fatal result that follows ligation of the circumflex artery near its origin can be averted for up to 10 hr and more by a change of operative procedure. If the occluding ligatures are passed and tied 2 hr after completion of the thoracotomy and dissection of passage beneath the vessel, postligation ventricular arrhythmias are minimal and survival is prolonged more than twentyfold.
