Antegrade cold blood cardioplegia is not demonstrably advantageous over cold crystalloid cardioplegia in surgery for congenital heart disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Objective: The superiority of blood cardioplegia in pediatric cardiac surgery has not previously been challenged in a controlled clinical trial. The purpose of this study was to compare antegrade cold blood versus cold crystalloid cardioplegia in ...

A comparative study of Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate (HTK) solution vs blood cardioplegia in combined coronary artery and valve surgery

open access: yesArcades of Medicine
Background: Ischemic heart disease is increasingly prevalent, leading to more patients undergoing open-heart surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve procedures.

Warm nondepolorizing adenosine and lidocaine cardioplegia: continuous versus intermittent delivery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Objective: Continuous infusion of warm to normothermic cardioplegia may limit the surgeon’s visual field, increase coronary vascular resistance, and lead to potassium-exacerbated ischemia-reperfusion damage.

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

open access: yesBiomedicines
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

Retrograde crystalloid or blood cardioplegia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We congratulate the authors for their good study [1]. However, the following aspects were noted: the absence of the left ventri-cle ejection fraction, wall thickness, aortic pressure gradient and evaluation of peroperative MI using CKMB values instead of

Global Cardioplegia Practices: Results from the Global Cardiopulmonary Bypass Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Despite the ubiquitous use of cardioplegia in cardiac surgery, there is a lack of agreement on various aspects of cardioplegia practice. To discover current cardioplegia practices throughout the world, we undertook a global survey to document ...

Coronary Perfusion Pressure during Antegrade Cardioplegia in On-Pump CABG Patients

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether aortic tension estimated by palpation and cardioplegia infusion line pressure provide results equivalent to those obtained with direct aortic intraluminal pressure measurement.

Single-Dose Lignocaine-Based Blood Cardioplegia in Single Valve Replacement Patients

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
OBJECTIVE: Myocardial protection is the most important in cardiac surgery. We compared our modified single-dose long-acting lignocaine-based blood cardioplegia with short-acting St Thomas 1 blood cardioplegia in patients undergoing single valve ...
