Enhanced myocardial protection in failing hearts: comparative outcomes of single-dose Del Nido and conventional blood cardioplegia in emergency low-ejection fraction coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

Medicinski Glasnik
  Abstract   Background: Optimal myocardial protection remains challenging in emergency coronary revascularization, especially in patients with severely reduced left ventricular function.

The Transaxillary Access for Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery Is Safe and Effective in Selected Patients With Native Valve Endocarditis

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Minimally invasive surgery for endocarditis reflects an emerging advancement in surgical therapy. Transaxillary access is a novel approach, with little current data on its safety and efficacy in these patients. This study reports outcomes of a transaxillary access cohort in aortic and mitral endocarditis compared to a full‐sternotomy cohort.

Normothermic Crystalloid Polarizing Cardioplegia Improves Systolic and Diastolic Function in a Porcine Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Previously, we showed that blood-based polarizing cardioplegia exerted beneficial cardioprotection during hypothermic ischemia; however, these positive effects of blood-based polarizing cardioplegia were reduced during normothermic

Robotic‐Assisted vs. Mini Thoracotomy Mitral Valve Repair for Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objective Minimally invasive techniques represent an emerging standard of care for the surgical treatment of myxomatous mitral valve disease. Due to the limited availability of the daVinci surgical system at our center, a robotic‐assisted (RA) approach is generally reserved for patients with complex leaflet pathology.

Comparison of Long‐Term Outcomes of Flexible Versus Rigid Annuloplasty for Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Functional tricuspid valve (TV) disease progression and reoperation risk can be reduced through concomitant TV repair during left‐sided cardiac surgery. However, the optimal annuloplasty ring choice remains unclear; relevant studies have exhibited bias or had limited long‐term follow‐ups.

Comparison of the effect of blood cardioplegia to crystalloid cardioplegia on myocardial contractility in man

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1980
The myocardial protection achieved by blood cardioplegia was compared to that achieved by crystalloid cardioplegia in a randomized prospective series of patients having coronary bypass operations. Group BCP (n = 15) was protected with 10 degrees C blood containing potassium, 30 mEq/L; Group KCP (n = 9) by an electrolyte solution at 4 degrees C with ...

Comparison Between Custodiol and Blood-enriched Cardioplegia on Myocardial Protection During Double Valve Replacement Surgeries [PDF]

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal
Background: Cardioplegia is necessary during heart surgery to lessen the myocardium's metabolic needs and avoid osmotic, electrolytic, and pH imbalances.

Adaptation and distribution of cardioplegia practices in Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic: insights from a nationwide survey

The Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology
Background: Cardioplegia is essential for myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains, affecting the availability of commercial cardioplegia solutions in Thailand and prompting institutions to modify their ...

Mechanisms of oxidative stress and myocardial protection during open-heart surgery

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015
Cold heart protection via cardioplegia administration, limits the amount of oxygen demand. Systemic normothermia with warm cardioplegia was introduced due to the abundance of detrimental effects of hypothermia.
