Abstract. The ability of an oxygenated perfluorochemical (FluosolB) to limit myocardial reperfusion injury following global hypothermic ischemic insult was investigated. Neonatal piglet hearts were arrested with cold crystalloid cardioplegia and stored for 12 hours in 20 C saline. Reperfusion was carried out using an isolated, blood-perfused, working heart preparation. Hearts were initially reperfused (10 minutes) with either whole blood (WB, n=6), unmodified perfluorochemical (PFC, n=8), or aspartate/glutamate-enriched perfluorochemical cardioplegia (PFC+, n=6). prior to institution of whole blood perfusion, functional evaluation and left ventricular biopsy. A control group (C, n=7) was evaluated without an intervening period of ischemia. At a left ventricular diastolic pressure of 9 rnm Hg WB hearts developed a left-ventricular stroke work index (SWI) of 3.8f2.3 x l o 3 erg/g (meanfstandard error of the mean). Under similar conditions, PFCreperfused hearts achieved a SWI of 14.6fl.3 x 103, significantly greater than that of WB (p
