Custodiol versus Blood Cardioplegia: Comparison of Myocardial Immunohistochemical Analysis and Clinical Outcomes [PDF]
Introduction: Custodiol (histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate) and repetitive blood cardioplegia are the solutions for myocardial protection and cardiac arrest. In this study, we aimed to compare immunohistochemical analysis, clinical outcomes, and cardiac

Is blood cardioplegia superior to crystalloid cardioplegia? [PDF]
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether blood cardioplegia is clinically superior to crystalloid cardioplegia for myocardial protection. Altogether 501 papers were identified. We selected 22 papers that represented the best evidence to answer the question.

Custodiol versus blood cardioplegia in pediatric cardiac surgery: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
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 ...
