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

Background: Cardioplegia is crucial in cardiac surgery for myocardial protection. Modified del Nido cardioplegia, initially used in paediatric patients, is now employed in adult cardiac surgeries for its prolonged protection with a single dose.

Aim The aim of this study is to share our experience of the combined double‐orifice and single‐patch technique for the correction of partial atrioventricular septal defect (pAVSD) and its associated tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD). Methods Between January 2014 and May 2024, 99 patients (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent repair of pAVSD and its associated ...

Cardioprotection with esmolol cardioplegia: efficacy as a blood-based solution [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Current cardiac surgery patients are older, sicker, with more diffuse disease and hence a reduced tolerance to ischaemia-reperfusion injury. We previously demonstrated that esmolol, an ultra-short-acting β-blocker, can be used as an arresting

Objective: Cardioplegia distribution beyond a stenotic coronary artery may not be adequate. This problem can be overcome by direct delivery of cardioplegia via the vein grafts anastomosed during the operation.

Background Double‐chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by hypertrophied muscular bundles dividing the right ventricle into high‐ and low‐pressure chambers. It is frequently associated with congenital heart disease, particularly tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), but rarely presents in late adulthood.

Contained Rupture of a Saphenous Vein Graft Pseudoaneurysm Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Saphenous vein graft (SVG) pseudoaneurysms are a rare cause of late graft failure with potentially lethal consequences if left untreated. We present the case of a patient who underwent multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting more than 10 years earlier and presented with chest pain.

Large Nonfunctioning Anterior Mediastinal Epiaortic Paraganglioma
We present a very rare case of a carotid body tumor accompanied by a large nonfunctioning epiaortic paraganglioma requiring ascending aorta replacement. Even though multiple paragangliomas in different locations in a single patient are highly uncommon, preoperative discovery of an extrathoracic neuroendocrine tumor should prompt full screening for the ...

Ischaemic postconditioning:does cardioplegia influence protection? [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Ischaemic postconditioning attenuates reperfusion injury and may be a useful adjunct to cardiac surgery. We examined the efficacy of postconditioning following ischaemic protection with cardioplegic arrest and the importance of index ...

Metabolomic Signatures Influenced by Different Cardioplegic Solutions in Cardiac Surgery
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.
