Comparison of simultaneous antegrade/vein graft cardioplegia with antegrade cardioplegia for myocardial protection

, 2006
Antegrade cardioplegic delivery via the aorta ensures distribution of cardioplegic solution through open arteries, but distribution may not be adequate beyond a stenotic coronary artery.

Enhancing Surgical Decision‐Making for Infected Cardiac Device Lead Removal With 18F‐FDG PET/CT: A Case Study and Literature Analysis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Residual implantable cardiac electronic device (ICED) leads pose a significant infection risk, necessitating a multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic approach. This case highlights the critical role of PET/CT imaging in guiding surgical decision‐making, particularly in cases of chronic infections with embedded or fractured lead fragments. While

Myocardial Effects of Modified Del Nido Cardioplegia Solution and St. Thomas II Cardioplegia Solution [PDF]

, 2020
Myocardial protection is the cornerstone of cardiac surgery and cardioplegic arrest is one of the most widely used myocardial protection methods. Although St Thomas II cardioplegia solution is widely used in adult cardiac surgery, it should be given at ...

Evaluating a Novel Cell‐Free Preservation Solution for Human Cardiomyocyte Protection: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Heart transplantation remains the definitive therapy for end‐stage heart failure; however, its clinical impact is constrained by donor availability and preservation‐associated injury. Static cold storage (SCS) with cardioplegic solutions such as Custodiol is the current clinical standard of care, yet extended cold ischemia markedly increases

Retrograde cardioplegia in CABG: Is it really useful? The microcirculation and a capillary unit model

, 2006
Most surgeons, ourselves including, use retrograde cardioplegia in numerable operations in cardiac surgery. It is believed to be not only supplementary to antegrade, but also a unique alternative in special complicated cases.

Metabolomic Signatures Influenced by Different Cardioplegic Solutions in Cardiac Surgery

Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences
Introduction: Cardioplegia is crucial for myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. However, the impact of different cardioplegia formulations on patients’ metabolomic responses has not been explored.

Supplemental cardioplegia immediately before graft implantation may improve early post-transplantation outcome

, 2015
Gebiet: Chirurgie Abstract: Background: Preservation of cardiac grafts for transplantation is not standardized and most centers use a single administration of crystalloid solution at the time of harvesting.
