    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1983 Jun; 31(3):183-4. PubMed ID: 6192530.
    Abstract:
    Retrograde perfusion through the superior vena cava was used in 2 patients who were injured by massive air embolism occurring during open-heart surgery. They underwent hyperbaric treatment immediately following completion of the intracardiac repair. Both patients made complete recovery and were discharged, with no defects attributable to the incident.
