Two surgical techniques have been developed in our laboratory to deal with identifiable problems in long-term artificial heart experiments. A right thoracotomy is used to deal with problems such as extensive bleeding, which occur in the immediate postoperative stage of the experiment, while a left thoracotomy is used in cases in Which the original implantation is preceded by more than one week, since extensive adhesions complicate the right thoracotomy at that stage. Pulmonary problems have been eliminated as a primary cause of difficulties after reoperation, but infection remains a serious problem.

In Reply.— We appreciate the comments by Dr Battisti et al. As noted in the inclusion criteria for our study,1 all intubated babies with birth weights less than 1,751 g were eligible for the study. One of the advantages of a randomized double-blind study is that babies with other risk factors, including presence of a fluctuating cerebral blood flow pattern on Doppler ultrasound testing, should have equal chances of being in the treated and placebo groups.
