Abstract Objectives After cardiac surgery, long aortic clamping times and extracorporeal circulation times are associated with worse outcomes. This study compares hemodynamic performance, myocardial metabolism, and ultrastructural preservation in rat..

Abstract Background: The utility and uptake of Del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery is rapidly increasing. Cases with prolonged aortic cross-clamp times necessitate multi-dosing however an understanding of safe..

Abstract Aim: We investigated in a single-center retrospective study early outcomes of intermittent warm blood and cold crystalloid St. Thomas cardioplegia in patients referred to CABG due to acute coronary..

Abstract Objectives The use of del Nido in adult cardiac surgery is rising in popularity. The objective of this large multicenter study was to evaluate the use and associated outcomes of..

Abstract Background The quality of a myocardial protection of a single-dose del Nido cardioplegia versus multiple dose blood-based cardioplegia on myocardial injury, outcomes and operative times in patients undergoing minimally..

Abstract Background Blood-based cardioplegia is the standard myocardial protection strategy in pediatric cardiac surgery. Custadiol (histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate), an alternative, may have some advantages but is potentially less effective at myocardial protection...

Abstract Background The efficacy of different cardioplegia solutions on outcomes of complex cardiac operations such as triple valve surgery (TVS) is scarce. Here we compared the outcomes in TVS patients..

Abstract Objectives To compare the safety and efficacy of del-Nido cardioplegia (DNC) with traditional 4:1 cold blood cardioplegia (CBC) in coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve surgeries in elderly patients...

Abstract Objectives Intermittent cold blood cardioplegia is commonly used in children whereas intermittent warm blood cardioplegia is widely used in adults. We aimed to compare clinical and biochemical outcomes with..

Abstract Objectives An incomplete restoration of after del Nido was noted in our recent study. This study tested the hypothesis that terminal warm blood promotes a prompt restoration of after a prolonged single-dose del..

Abstract Background and objective: In this clinical trial, we evaluated if a short-acting nucleoside, adenosine, as a high-dose bolus injection with blood cardioplegia induces faster arrest and provides better myocardial..

Abstract Background Del Nido cardioplegia (DNc) was designed for superior myocardial protection during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We conducted a retrospective review to explore if DNc was associated with increase in..

Abstract Background in adult cardiac surgery is commonly achieved with either multidose blood or single-dose del Nido crystalloid cardioplegia. Aim The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare..
