Abstract:
:There exists some controversy over how to treat patients of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum: transcatheter or open chest. Each has certain drawbacks. We describe a novel hybrid approach which has the advantages of both methods.

abstract:BACKGROUND:Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common causes of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Many evidences suggest that hypothermia have a more pronounced impact as an adjunctive therapy for MI to reduce infarct size.
