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

Comparison of myocardial cooling effects between antegrade and retrograde cardioplegia: a retrospective study using thermography [PDF]
Background Cardioplegia is delivered via antegrade, retrograde, or combined perfusion routes. Antegrade cardioplegia follows the physiological path but may be less effective in patients with severe coronary disease.

Vasculoprotective role of del Nido cardioplegia in open-heart surgery via modulation of E-Selectin, Endocan, and TNF-alpha coronary sinus blood samples [PDF]
Purpose Cardioplegia is routinely used in cardiac surgery to prevent endothelial damage associated with ischemia-reperfusion. However, there is no consensus on the optimal vasculoprotective cardioplegia.

Surgical results of only antegrade del Nido cardioplegia infusion in conventional coronary artery bypass grafting: a retrospective study [PDF]
Background Additional retrograde cardioplegia infusion in conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was introduced to address the concern of inappropriate cardioplegia delivery through the stenotic coronary artery.

Del Nido versus warm blood cardioplegia in adult patients with a low ejection fraction
Background Del Nido cardioplegia was recently introduced to adult cardiac surgery with encouraging results. The effect of Del Nido cardioplegia in patients with low ejection fraction (EF) has not been thoroughly evaluated. The objective of this study was

Blood Cardioplegia Induction, Perfusion Storage and Graft Dysfunction in Cardiac Xenotransplantation
BackgroundPerioperative cardiac xenograft dysfunction (PCXD) describes a rapidly developing loss of cardiac function after xenotransplantation. PCXD occurs despite genetic modifications to increase compatibility of the heart.
