Heterogeneous distribution of cardioplegic solution in pigs [PDF]
Septal dyskinesia in the left ventricle is detected frequently in many patients after open-heart surgery. The present study was designed to determine whether the antegrade delivery of cardioplegic solution to the regional wall categorized in echocardiography is homogeneous, and whether the distribution to the septal wall differs from that to the ...

Effect of temperature of cardioplegic solution
This study tests the hypothesis that the efficacy of cardioplegic solution depends upon its chemical constituents rather than on its temperature alone. A standard preparation of right heart bypass in the dog was utilized. Left ventricular function curves were inscribed before and after 1 hour of aortic cross-clamping.

Cardioplegic solution: A contamination crisis
Eleven patients were given varying doses of cardioplegic solution contaminated with Enterobacter cloacae. Five patients died. Early bleeding, necessitating reoperation, occurred in eight patients and a total of 126 units of blood and 203 units of platelets were given (range 2 to 19 and 15 to 47 units, respectively).

Adequate distribution of warm cardioplegic solution [PDF]
Seventy-five patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized to receive warm antegrade (N = 25), warm retrograde (N = 25), or a combination of warm antegrade and retrograde (N = 25) delivery of blood cardioplegic solution. Myocardial oxygen utilization, lactate and acid metabolism, and adenine nucleotides and their degradation ...
