Limitations of retrograde continuous tepid blood cardioplegia for myocardial remodeling.
OBJECTIVE We assessed potential limitations of retrograde continuous tepid blood cardioplegia (RCTBC) for myocardial remodeling, represented by hypertrophied and/or dilated myocardium in patients with severe cardiomyopathy following single aortic valve replacement. METHODS The study was conducted on 91 patients who underwent initial single aortic valve replacement with tepid cardiopulmonary b...
متن کاملDoes combined antegrade-retrograde cardioplegia have any superiority over antegrade cardioplegia?
BACKGROUND In a prospective randomised clinical study we assessed and compared antegrade vs. combined antegrade-retrograde cardioplegia in patients who underwent elective coronary artery by pass grafting. METHODS Between March 2006 and January 2007, 87 consecutive patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (n=45) received antegrade cold (4 degrees C) blood cardioplegia. Besides a...
متن کاملTechnique: Continuous Retrograde Cardioplegia Followed by Warm Blood Antegrade Infusion
The optimum myocardial preservation technique during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures rerr.ains widely debated. It is believed that the efficacy of the myocardial preservation technique is largely responsible for post-operative myocardial function and recovery. At the Miami Heart Institute, a recently developed technique has been under investigation. It is the purpose of this report to reveal ...
متن کاملMyocardial protection by continuous, blood, antegrade-retrograde cardioplegia in rabbits.
PURPOSE To study the effectiveness of the continuous, blood, antegrade-retrograde cardioplegia in an experimental model of isolated heart, evaluating ventricular function. METHODS Rabbits were divided into four groups: Control--C(n=10); ischemic crystalloid cardioplegia--IC(n=10); ischemic blood cardioplegia--IB(n=10); ischemic non cardioplegia--INC(n=10). After the ischemic protocol period t...
متن کاملFeasibility and safety of continuous retrograde administration of Del Nido cardioplegia: a case series.
BACKGROUND Del Nido (DN) cardioplegia, a calcium-free, hyperkalemic solution containing lidocaine and magnesium has been developed to help reduce intracellular calcium influx and the resulting myocyte damage in the immediate postischemic period following cardiac arrest. DN cardioplegia has been used for pediatric cardiac surgery but its use in complex reoperative surgery has not been studied. W...
