ABSTRACT
The challenges and results of cardio-vascular surgery at the American University of Beirut Medical Center [AUBMC] during the civil strife in Lebanon are presented. Dependence on local resources is emphasized. Temporary interruption of open-heart surgery in a university setting may be the product of absence of essential materials and/or personnel. Ingenuity and team approach have contributed to the success and survival of the open-heart program. The operative results and mortality rate were indirectly related to the intensity of fighting in the vicinity of a Medical Center that served as a field hospital
