Clampless cardioplegia: an alternative to conventional cardioplegia administration
Perfusion, 2018Myocardial 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.

Blood cardioplegia: A review and comparison with crystalloid cardioplegia
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991The 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.

Coronary Arteriotomy with Cardioplegia
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1979Abstract A technique for improved visualization of the coronary vessels during cardiac arrest is described. The method involves dissecting the epicardial fat from the vessel involved, marking the fat for future reference, and applying traction at the acute margin of the right ventricle.

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 ...

Myocardial protection and cardioplegia
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1993Over the past year there has been a tremendous enthusiasm for the novel technique of warm heart surgery. In contradistinction to hypothermic myocardial preservation, warm cardiac surgery provides for operative repair in a nonischemic heart. Warm cardioplegia can be administered in an antegrade or retrograde manner, continuously, and perhaps even ...

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.

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%.

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.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
One hundred fifteen consecutive patients were operated on for myocardial revascularization or valvular disease or both with continuous antegrade and retrograde aerobic warm (37 degrees C) blood cardioplegia. Mean cross-clamp time was 56.3 +/- 21 minutes (+/- standard deviation).

Potassium-Induced Cardioplegia
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1975Cardioplegia 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.
