TABLE 4.
End‐ischemic (back‐to‐base) | Throughout perfusion | P ** | |
---|---|---|---|
Hypothermic | 84 (61.3) | 11 (34.4) | <.01 |
Normothermic | 44 (32.1) | 17 (53.1) | |
Sequential* | 9 (6.6) | 1 (3.1) | |
Subnormothermic | 0 (0.0) | 3 (9.4) |
Data are expressed as number (%) and represent the aggregate number of times each timing (end‐ischemic versus throughout perfusion) was chosen according to MP technique.
Sequential approach includes cases in which hypothermic MP was followed by normothermic MP, with or without interposing a phase of controlled oxygenated rewarming
Chi‐square test.
