This article by Durandy and colleagues [1] demonstrates that normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with warm blood cardioplegia is safe even for prolonged, cross-clamp times. The excellent results in mortality and morbidity reported in this series of 234 patients weighing less than 10 kg is remarkable and indicates the excellence of the surgeons.
The optimal CPB method for congenital heart operations is characterized today by lack of evidence. The most prominent teams report excellent outcomes when using diametrically different techniques, such as total deep hypothermic circulatory arrest
