FIELD: medicine, cardiosurgery.
SUBSTANCE: while carrying out temporary systemic-pulmonary anastomosis after finishing the main stage of operation one should encircle either subclavicular artery or vascular anastomosis with a ligature. The ends of this ligature should be put into pericardial cavity through a small pericardial opening. During performing the main stage of operation one should ligate subclavicular artery or prosthesis. The method suggested enables to decrease the risk for operational and postoperational complications at performing correction of inborn heart failures at depleted pulmonary circulation and shorten the time of operation at its further stages.
EFFECT: higher efficiency.
