Background Six billion people in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack timely or
ready access to safe and affordable cardiac surgical care when needed, which remains a …

Cardioplegia is an important strategy for myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. This
meta-analysis was to compare the effects of del Nido and conventional cardioplegia in adult …

Abstract Objectives The del Nido cardioplegia solution has been used extensively in
congenital heart surgery for more than 20 years and more recently for adults. This …

Background 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 …

Cardiac arrest by cardioplegia provides a reproducible and safe method to induce and
maintain electromechanical cardiac quiescence. Techniques of intraoperative myocardial …

Background Myocardial protection in adult cardiac surgery is commonly achieved with either
multidose blood cardioplegia or single-dose del Nido crystalloid cardioplegia. Aim The aim …

Abstract Background and Aims The immediate postischemic period is marked by elevated
intracellular calcium levels, which can lead to irreversible myocyte injury. Del Nido …

Background There are a wide variety of reported techniques with few comparative trials and
no current data available by which surgeons can compare their myopreservation strategies …

Background Del Nido cardioplegia (DC) offers prolonged cardiac protection with single-
dose administration and has had a long safety record in pediatric cardiac surgery. However …

BACKGROUND Donation after circulatory death (DCD) offers an additional source of
cardiac allografts, potentially allowing expansion of the donor pool, but is limited owing to …
