The repair of intracardiac defects under direct vision by opening the heart to expose the operative field, with the aid of hypothermia or a pump-oxygenator, is now a practical clinical method. Twelve patients were operated upon by this method. In eight patients an atrial septal defect was repaired during total circulatory occlusion under hypothermia. The seven patients in this group who had uncomplicated atrial defects survived the operation and are doing well after a short follow-up period. One patient with an unrecognized, associated ventricular defect died at the time of operation. Four patients were operated upon during total cardiac by-pass with the DeWall bubble-oxygenator. The first three patients survived operation and are continuing to do well after a brief follow-up period. In the fourth patient an atrioventricularis communis was repaired by the reconstruction of an atrial and ventricular septum with a plastic prosthesis. This patient died at the end of operation.
