Summary Isolated hypoxic perfusion of the heart and total body hypoxic perfusion were performed as preliminary assessment of parameters bearing on the development of a disposable coronary perfusate for use in intracardiac surgical procedures. Sudden, irreversible damage may result during isolated hypoxic perfusion which produces glycogen depletion and structural damage. Whole body preparations have shown that hypoxia is not the destructive factor by itself.
