Del Nido Cardioplegia

Comparison of Routine Del Nido Cardioplegia vs Two Types of Modified Del Nido Cardioplegias for Myocardial Protection in CABG: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial

This randomized, double-blind trial compared the effectiveness of routine del Nido cardioplegia with two modified versions (Ringer lactate-based and plain Ringer-based) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Among 120 adult patients, no significant differences were found in myocardial protection markers (CK-MB, Troponin T, Troponin I, lactate). However, Troponin T and lactate levels showed time-related effects. All cardioplegia solutions provided comparable protection, suggesting the need for further studies.
