This paper deals with a total of 63 cases of atrial septal defect with which one author (A.W.C.) was associated. All patients were diagnosed preoperatively as atrial septal defect of the secundum type and surgery was undertaken for direct closure of the defects with the aid of hypothermia. No deaths occurred in the series. The physiopathological disturbances, anaesthetic and hypothermic techniques, and complications are discussed.
