    In Zagreb, at the Surgical Department of University Hospital "Dr Ozren Novosel", today "Merkur" the first operation in hypothermia was performed on October 25th, 1957, on the patient with pulmonary valve stenosis. It allowed total circulatory interruption to do the operation in the open heart successfully, and this was the first such operation not only in Croatia but in the broader context of former Yugoslavia.
