Ice-Chip Cardioplegia

Archives of Surgery, 1962
Elective cardiac arrest by means of chemical agents and by hypothermia has been thoroughly assessed by many investigations. Local hypothermia of the myocardium has been found to minimize the deleterious effects with a better preservation of cardiac function.

Cold crystalloid cardioplegia

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006
Cold crystalloid cardioplegia is clinically used since the mid-1960s. It is currently applied in adult and pediatric cardiac surgery patients and remains the preferred method of myocardial protection for many cardiac surgeons. This chapter gives a brief overview about the technical aspects of cold crystalloid cardioplegia application in the operating ...

Warm blood cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
Between 1990 and 1992, 346 consecutive patients underwent coronary artery bypass procedures. Ninety-eight patients (group A) from 1990 served as historical controls, and 248 patients (group B) from 1991 to 1992 served as a prospective, consecutive cohort for statistical comparison.

Blood cardioplegia filtration

Perfusion, 2003
The introduction of blood cardioplegia has been proven to limit ischaemia and reperfusion injury in cardiac surgery. But the presence of activated neutrophils in the capillary bed may cause further damage. Leukocyte filters have been shown to be very effective in reducing the leukocytes in blood cardioplegia to less than 10%.

Clampless cardioplegia: an alternative to conventional cardioplegia administration

Perfusion, 2018
Myocardial protection is of the utmost importance during cardiac surgery. At times, there are patients who present to the operating room who make the typical use of cardioplegia difficult or impossible. For these patients, a separate protocol and process must be in place.

Potassium-Induced Cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1975
Cardioplegia induced with an osmotically balanced solution of high potassium concentration appears to lower the oxygen requirements of the heart, slows high-energy phosphate depletion to some extent, and is associated with increased survival in prolonged normothermic ischemia.

Cardioplegia Solution

Journal of Pharmacy Practice, 1993
The mechanisms of the metabolic and ultrastructural changes that occur as a result of myocardial ischemia during cross-clamping of the aorta and the secondary injury that can occur during reperfusion after removal of the cross-clamp are important determinants of the composition and method of administration of cardioplegia solution (CS). Traditionally,

Cardioplegia.

Postgraduate medical journal, 1983
Effective protection against the consequences of transient myocardial ischaemia requires a consideration of events not only during the ischaemic interval but also during the pre- and post-ischaemic periods. Thus, the promotion of maximal energy reserves and the reduction of catecholamine drive before ischaemia are likely to increase tissue resistance ...

Blood cardioplegia: A review and comparison with crystalloid cardioplegia

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991
The Oxford International Symposium on myocardial preservation provided an appropriate milestone and impetus to survey one aspect of operative myocardial preservation, namely blood cardioplegia, and to contrast it with the more popular crystalloid cardioplegia.
