The efficacy of custodiol as blood cardioplegia for myocardial protection in adult cardiac surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background/Introduction Custodiol cardioplegia is attractive method of myocardial protection, as a single dose provides a long period of preservation. Despite widespread use in Europe, the available data confirming its efficacy is little compared with conventional methods of cardioplegia. Custodiol solution is administered in a single-dose, allowing the operation to be done continuously. This is an advantage over other cardioplegic solutions that may have to be re administered every 20-30 minutes.

Custodiol for myocardial protection and preservation: a systematic review.
INTRODUCTION Custodiol cardioplegia is attractive for minimally invasive cardiac surgery, as a single dose provides a long period of myocardial protection. Despite widespread use in Europe, there is little data confirming its efficacy compared with conventional (blood or crystalloid) cardioplegia. There is similar enthusiasm for its use in organ preservation for transplant, but also a lack of d...

OBJECTIVES A single or dual-dose strategy for myocardial protection is attractive in long operations, in avoiding the need to interrupt the procedure to re-administer cardioplegia. We hypothesized that a single administration of Bretschneider histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) crystalloid solution (Custodiol) offers myocardial protection comparable with repeated tepid blood cardioplegia. ...
متن کاملCustodiol HTK cardioplegia use in robotic mitral valve.
Robotic surgery is a growing subspecialty in cardiac surgery. Custodiol HTK cardioplegia offers long-term myocardial protection, decreased metabolism, and eliminates multiple cardioplegia dosing. This article reviews the technique, strategy, and considerations for use of Custodiol HTK for myocardial protection in robotic mitral valve surgery.

Cold agglutinins are of unique relevance in cardiac surgerybecause of the use of hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cold autoimmune diseases are defined by the presence of abnormal circulating proteins (usually IgM or IgA antibodies) that agglutinate in response to a decrease in body temperature. These disorders include cryoglobulinemia and cold hemagglutinin disease.Immunoglobulin M aut...
