Rescue ross procedure and mitral valve repair on a low birth weight preterm neonate
Abstract Although mid‐ and long‐term outcomes after the Ross procedure for aortic valve disease have been increasingly improving over the years, this is still a rather challenging operation in neonates and small children. This is particularly true for patients with associated congenital heart defects and critical clinical conditions. Herein we describe

Human cardiac tissue in a microperfusion chamber simulating extracorporeal circulation - ischemia and apoptosis studies [PDF]
Background After coronary artery bypass grafting ischemia/reperfusion injury inducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis may occur. This surgery-related inflammatory reaction appears to be of extreme complexity with regard to its molecular, cellular and tissue ...

Prognostic factors of atrial fibrillation following elective coronary artery bypass grafting: the impact of quantified intraoperative myocardial ischemia [PDF]
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in 28-33% of the patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization (CABG). This study focuses on both pre- and peri-operative factors that may affect the occurrence of AF.

Del Nido cardioplegia – what is the current evidence?
Del Nido cardioplegia is believed to be both clinically and economically efficient. The interest in this myocardial protection method has been continuously growing. However, the evidence is not clear. The article summarizes recent reports regarding del Nido cardioplegia.

del Nido versus Buckberg cardioplegia in adult isolated valve surgery [PDF]
del Nido solution is a non-glucose-based, single-dose cardioplegic solution with few data supporting its safety in adults. We hypothesized that it and Buckberg solution offer myocardial protection of equivalent safety for isolated adult valve surgery.Adult patients undergoing primary isolated aortic or mitral valve surgery with del Nido or Buckberg ...
