The first Case of Circulatory Arrest in deep Hypothermia in Cardiac Surgery in Mali

Abstract

The authors report the case of circulatory arrest in deep hypothermia during the closure of an arterial duct associated with significant mitral insufficiency for mitral replacement in an underdeveloped country such as Mali. This circulatory arrest technique used in major European and American heart surgery centers for the management of complex heart disease. It constitutes a real challenge for us to report the first case of circulatory arrest in the management of the persistent arterial canal associated with mitral insufficiency including simple operative consequences.
