This prospective, randomized, and blinded study compared the impacts of traditional Plasma-Lyte A-based del Nido cardioplegia (PL DN) and a modified Ringer’s lactate-based formulation
This case study details a novel approach to avoid cardioplegia delivery complications during a high-risk redo mitral valve replacement. The 75-year-old patient, with severe
This study compares the effectiveness of Del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) and hyperkalemic blood cardioplegia (HKB) in adult cardiac surgery with prolonged aortic cross-clamp times.
This study compares the effectiveness of modified del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) with classic blood cardioplegia (BC) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients with
This study evaluates a novel off-pump axillo-axillary shunt technique for antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) during total aortic arch replacement (BF-TAR) in patients with Type
This retrospective study examined paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with crystalloid priming to evaluate outcomes related to postoperative hyperlactataemia. Among 186 patients, 53% experienced
This study explores the potential benefits of gradual reperfusion in cardiac surgery patients experiencing cardioplegia-induced cardiac arrest, aiming to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury. Fifty elective
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
This study examined the efficacy of del Nido cardioplegia compared to traditional blood cardioplegia in adult coronary artery bypass grafting. Among 119 patients, the
This article presents a technique for administering del Nido cardioplegia using a homemade circuit composed of a pediatric reservoir, roller pump, coil cooler, and
This retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness of two cardiac preservation solutions, HTK-Custodiol and St. Thomas, used in adult heart transplantations at the University Hospital
This study developed a predictive model for perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) using hybrid feature selection (FS) methods in patients undergoing noncoronary cardiac surgery with
