RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The del Nido cardioplegia solution is a widely used method for myocardial protection in various settings. However, there is limited evidence of its effectiveness in adult cardiac surgery, and the baseline solution, Plasma Lyte A, is not readily available, leading to the use of alternative baseline solutions. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of routine del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery and the impact of different baseline solutions on myocardial protection and other perioperative outcomes. METHODS: This study was a prospective, double-blind randomized parallel group clinical trial conducted at a single tertiary care hospital in Iran. A total of 187 adult patients were evaluated for eligibility, of which 120 met the inclusion criteria for elective isolated CABG surgery. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups, with each group consisting of 40 patients. The control group received a normal saline-based routine del Nido cardioplegia, Intervention Group A received Ringer lactate-based del Nido cardioplegia, and Intervention Group B received plain Ringer-based del Nido cardioplegia. The levels of Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB), Troponin T, Troponin I, and lactate were primarily assessed at four different times: after anesthesia induction (Baseline), 2 h, 12 h, and 24 h. RESULTS: Preoperative demographic and clinical characteristics were the same among groups with insignificant differences (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference among groups based on CK-MB, Troponin T, Troponin I, and lactate levels (p = 0.078, 0.143, 0.311, and 0.129 respectively). However, there was a significant difference in the time effect of Troponin T and Lactate (p = 0.034, p = <0.001). CONCLUSION: Normal saline, Ringer lactate, and plain Ringer provide comparable myocardial protection in adult-isolated CABG surgery with modified del Nido cardioplegia. Larger studies are needed to identify the best alternative to Plasma Lyte A while maintaining del Nido cardioplegia as the control.

BACKGROUND: Del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) has extensively been used for pediatric population undergoing cardiac surgery. However, its use in adult cardiac surgeries have been limited thus, its benefits are not yet fully known. This analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of DNC versus any other type of cardioplegia in adult patients who are undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from database inception till March 2023, and moderate to high-quality randomized controlled trials were included which compared DNC to other cardioplegia. The primary outcome was postoperative stroke and/or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Secondary outcomes included spontaneous rhythm return, postoperative myocardial infarction, all-cause mortality, postoperative atrial fibrillation, defibrillation after coronary reperfusion, postoperative intra-aortic balloon pump, postoperative kidney injury, postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, inotropic support, cardiopulmonary bypass time, cross-clamp time, blood transfusion, cardioplegia volume, hospital stay, intensive care unit stay, mechanical ventilation stay, postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, and cardiac markers. RESULTS: In this meta-analysis, 13 studies were included with a patient population of 2207. Stroke and/or TIA studies (risk ratio [RR]: 0.54, 95% CI [0.29, 1.00]) and all-cause mortality studies (RR: 1.30, 95% CI [0.66, 2.56]) were insignificant. From the secondary outcomes, spontaneous rhythm return (RR: 1.58, 95% CI [1.02, 2.45]), defibrillation after coronary reperfusion (RR: 0.49, 95% CI [0.30, 0.79]), inotropic support (RR: 0.70, 95% CI [0.57, 0.85]), composite risk of stroke and/or TIA and/or acute kidney injury and mortality (RR: 0.72, 95% CI [0.53, 0.99]), cross-clamp time (mean difference [MD]: -6.01, 95% CI [-11.14, -0.89]), blood transfusion (RR: 0.73, 95% CI [0.60, 0.90]), cardioplegia volume (MD: -537.17, 95% CI [-758.89, -315.45]), troponin T (MD: -1.71, 95% CI [-2.11, -1.32]), creatine phosphokinase-MB (MD: -2.96, 95% CI [-5.84, -0.07]) were significant. Whereas all other secondary outcomes were found to be insignificant. CONCLUSION: No significant difference was observed between patients undergoing Del Nido administration in comparison to other cardioplegia solutions for the primary outcome, stroke or/and TIA.

OBJECTIVE: Systematic evaluation of the safety of del Nido cardioplegia compared to cold blood cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomized clinical trials (published by 14 January 2024) comparing del Nido cardioplegia to cold blood cardioplegia in adult. Our main endpoints were myocardial injury markers and clinical outcomes. We assessed pooled data by use of a random-effects model or a fixed-effects model. RESULTS: A total of 10 studies were identified, incorporating 889 patients who received del Nido cardioplegia and 907 patients who received cold blood cardioplegia. The meta-analysis results showed that compared with the cold blood cardioplegia, the del Nido cardioplegia had less volume of cardioplegia, higher rate of spontaneous rhythm recovery after cross clamp release, lower levels of postoperative cardiac troponin T and creatinine kinase-myocardial band, all of which were statistically significant. However, there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative troponin I and postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction. The clinical outcomes including mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit stay time, hospital stay time, postoperative stroke, postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation, postoperative heart failure requiring intra-aortic balloon pump mechanical circulation support, and in-hospital mortality of both are comparable. CONCLUSION: Existing evidence suggests that del Nido cardioplegia reduced volume of cardioplegia administration and attempts of defibrillation. The superior postoperative results in CTnT and CK-MB may provide a direction for further research on improvement of the composition of cardioplegia.

Background and Objectives: The relationship between histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK)-induced hyponatremia and brain injury in adult cardiac surgery patients is unclear. This study analyzed postoperative neurological outcomes after intraoperative HTK cardioplegia infusion. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 60 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Of these patients, 13 and 47 received HTK infusion and conventional hyperkalemic cardioplegia, respectively. The patients' baseline characteristics, intraoperative data, brain injury markers, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, and quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) data were collected. Electrolyte changes during cardiopulmonary bypass, the degree of hyponatremia, and any associated brain insults were evaluated. Results: The HTK group presented with acute hyponatremia during cardiopulmonary bypass, which was intraoperatively corrected through ultrafiltration and normal saline administration. Postoperative sodium levels were higher in the HTK group than in the conventional cardioplegia group. The change in neuron-specific enolase levels after cardiopulmonary bypass was significantly higher in the HTK group (p = 0.043). The changes showed no significant differences using case-control matching. qEEG analysis revealed a significant increase in relative delta power in the HTK group on postoperative day (POD) 7 (p = 0.018); however, no significant changes were noted on POD 60. The MMSE scores were not significantly different between the two groups on POD 7 and POD 60. Conclusions: HTK-induced acute hyponatremia and rapid correction with normal saline during adult cardiac surgeries were associated with a potential short-term but not long-term neurological impact. Further studies are required to determine the necessity of correction for HTK-induced hyponatremia.

OBJECTIVES: In this study, we evaluated if modified Del Nido cardioplegia delivers comparable cardiac protection in comparison to Custodiol® in patients undergoing isolated minimally invasive mitral valve repair. METHODS: From January 2018 to October 2021, all patients undergoing non-emergent isolated minimally invasive mitral valve repair were included in this study. The cardioplegia was chosen at the surgeons' discretion. The primary end points of this study were peak postoperative cardiac enzyme levels. Secondary end points were in-hospital mortality, hospital stay, occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias, pacemaker implantations, postoperative lactate and sodium levels and postoperative incidence of renal failure requiring dialysis. RESULTS: A total of 355 patients were included in this study. The mean age of patients was 57. After propensity score matching, a total of 156 pairs were identified. There was no difference in cross-clamp time between both groups. Postoperative creatine kinase levels were higher in patients receiving Custodiol on the 1st and 2nd postoperative days. Creatine kinase isoenzyme MB levels were higher in patients receiving Custodiol on the 2nd postoperative day (0.5 ± 0.2 vs 0.4 ± 0.1 µmol/l s; P < 0.001). Postoperative Troponin T concentrations were similar between both groups. Maximum lactate concentrations were higher in patients receiving Custodiol on the day of surgery (2.4 ± 1.9 vs 2.0 ± 1.1 mmol/l; P = 0.04). The overall hospital stay was longer in patients receiving Del Nido cardioplegia (10.6 ± 3.2 vs 8 ± 4.1 days; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Modified Del Nido cardioplegia based on Ionosteril® solution offers equivalent protection compared to Custodiol for isolated minimally invasive mitral valve repair.

OBJECTIVES: The use of del Nido cardioplegia has been increasing in popularity for adult cardiac surgery. However, the base solution, Plasma-Lyte A, is not always available in many countries. This prospective randomized controlled trial evaluated myocardial preservation and clinical outcomes when using lactated Ringer's solution (LRS) compared to Plasma-Lyte A as a base solution for del Nido cardioplegia. METHODS: Adult patients undergoing first-time elective cardiac surgery for acquired heart disease, including isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, isolated valve surgery, combined valve surgery or concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery were randomized to receive either LRS (n = 100) or Plasma-Lyte A (n = 100). RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of age, comorbidities, Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk score and type of procedures. The primary outcome, postoperative troponin-T at 24 h, was similar in both groups (0.482 vs 0.524 ng/ml; P = 0.464). Other cardiac markers were also similar at all time points. The LRS group had a lower pH (7.228 vs 7.246; P = 0.005) and higher calcium levels (0.908 vs 0.358 mmol/l; P < 0.001) in the delivered cardioplegia, but there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes, such as ventricular fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction, inotrope/vasopressor requirement, intra-aortic balloon pump support, intensive care unit stay, hospital stay, atrial fibrillation, red cell transfusion and complications. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that LRS can be used as an alternative to Plasma-Lyte A as the base solution for del Nido cardioplegia, with similar myocardial preservation and clinical outcomes.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of myocardial protection with single-dose histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) cardioplegia during aortic root operation, and the correlation between short-term clinical outcomes and duration of myocardial ischemia. Methods: The data of clinical cases undergoing myocardial protection with single-dose HTK cardioplegia during aortic root operation from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into conventional HTK cardioplegia group (<3 h) and prolonged HTK cardioplegia group (≥3 h) according to duration of intraoperative myocardial ischemia. A 1â¶1 propensity score matching was performed and the correlations between duration of myocardial ischemia and postoperative short-term outcomes (30-day mortality, readmission, mechanical circulation support and renal insufficiency) were analyzed. Results: A total of 282 patients were included in the final analysis, with 210 cases in the conventional HTK cardioplegia group and 72 cases inthe prolonged HTK cardioplegia group before matching. After matching, there were 64 cases (53 males and 11 females) in the conventional HTK cardioplegia group, with a mean age of (49.4±14.2) years. The prolonged HTK cardioplegia group had 64 cases (55 males and 9 females), with a mean age of (50.5±12.3) years. Higher sensitivity troponin [12 h: 10.1 (4.6, 18.7) µg/Lvs 4.1(2.2, 8.6) µg/L, P=0.002; 24 h: 7.7 (4.5, 19.0) µg/L vs 4.8 (2.2, 11.9) µg/L, P=0.025] and creatine kinase isoenzyme[12 h: 46.3 (28.1, 62.4) µg/L vs 20.7(14.1, 32.9) µg/L, P<0.001; 24 h: 26.3(13.4, 49.2) µg/L vs 14.5 (10.1, 33.5)µg/L, P=0.011] after surgery was detected in prolonged HTK cardioplegia group. Comparisons of other primary and secondary endpoint events showed no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression showed that duration of myocardial ischemia had no significant effect on postoperative 30-day mortality (OR=1.255, 95%CI: 0.500-3.148, P=0.629), 30-day readmission (OR=0.378, 95%CI: 0.069-2.065, P=0.261) and mechanical circulation support (OR=0.991, 95%CI: 0.331-2.970, P=0.998). Conclusion: During aortic root surgery, single-dose HTK cardioplegia may provide satisfactory myocardial protection, and there was no significant correlation between duration of myocardial ischemia and short-term clinical outcomes.

Myocardial protection and specifically cardioplegia have been extensively investigated in the beginnings of cardiac surgery. After cardiopulmonary bypass had become routine, more and more cardiac operations were possible, requiring reliable and reproducible protection for times of blood flow interruptions to the most energy-demanding organ of the body. The concepts of hypothermia and cardioplegia evolved as tools to extend cardiac ischaemia tolerance to a degree considered safe for the required operation. A plethora of different solutions and delivery techniques were developed achieving remarkable outcomes with cross-clamp times of up to 120 min and more. With the beginning of the new millennium, interest in myocardial protection research declined and, as a consequence, conventional cardiac surgery is currently performed using myocardial protection strategies that have not changed in decades. However, the context, in which cardiac surgery is currently performed, has changed during this time. Patients are now older and suffer from more comorbidities and, thus, other organs move more and more into the centre of risk assessment. Yet, systemic effects of cardioplegic solutions have never been in the focus of attention. They say hindsight is always 20-20. We therefore review the biochemical principles of ischaemia, reperfusion and cardioplegic extension of ischaemia tolerance and address the concepts of myocardial protection with 'hindsight from the 2020s'. In light of rising patient risk profiles, minimizing surgical trauma and improving perioperative morbidity management becomes key today. For cardioplegia, this means accounting not only for cardiac, but also for systemic effects of cardioplegic solutions.

INTRODUCTION: This study evaluated myocardial protection and clinical outcomes when using lactated Ringer's solution as the base solution for del Nido cardioplegia compared with histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution in valvular surgery. METHODS: From January 2017 to May 2018, 71 adult patients who underwent valvular surgery with del Nido cardioplegia (n=37) or HTK cardioplegia (n=34) were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Patients' characteristics were comparable between groups. Postoperative peak troponin T levels were similar. The del Nido group had a decreased incidence of ventricular fibrillation after aortic cross-clamp removal (13.51 vs. 55.88%; P<0.001), lower total volume of cardioplegia administered (1,000 [1,000, 1,250] vs. 1,800 [1,500, 2,000] mL; P<0.001), shorter hospital stay (6 [5, 8] vs. 7 [6, 10] days; P=0.03), and less postoperative red cell transfusion (34.29 vs. 61.11%; P=0.024). There is no difference in aortic cross-clamping time, postoperative change in left ventricular ejection fraction, intensive care unit stay, duration of inotropic support, new onset of atrial fibrillation, in-hospital mortality, complications, and three-year overall survival rate. CONCLUSION: Lactated Ringer's-based del Nido cardioplegia can be safely used for valvular surgery with acceptable clinical outcomes compared to HTK cardioplegia.

Nanocarriers for oxygen delivery have been the focus of extensive research to ameliorate the therapeutic effects of current anti-cancer treatments and in the organ transplant field. In the latter application, the use of oxygenated cardioplegic solution (CS) during cardiac arrest is certainly beneficial, and fully oxygenated crystalloid solutions may be excellent means of myocardial protection, albeit for a limited time. Therefore, to overcome this drawback, oxygenated nanosponges (NSs) that can store and slowly release oxygen over a controlled period have been chosen as nanocarriers to enhance the functionality of cardioplegic solutions. Different components can be used to prepare nanocarrier formulations for saturated oxygen delivery, and these include native α-cyclodextrin (αCD), αcyclodextrin-based nanosponges (αCD-NSs), native cyclic nigerosyl-nigerose (CNN), and cyclic nigerosyl-nigerose-based nanosponges (CNN-NSs). Oxygen release kinetics varied depending on the nanocarrier used, demonstrating higher oxygen release after 24 h for NSs than the native αCD and CNN. CNN-NSs presented the highest oxygen concentration (8.57 mg/L) in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) CS recorded at 37 °C for 12 h. The NSs retained more oxygen at 1.30 g/L than 0.13 g/L. These nanocarriers have considerable versatility and the ability to store oxygen and prolong the amount of time that the heart remains in hypothermic CS. The physicochemical characterization presents a promising oxygen-carrier formulation that can prolong the release of oxygen at low temperatures. This can make the nanocarriers suitable for the storage of hearts during the explant and transport procedure.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in 20% to 40% of patients who underwent cardiac surgery and can compromise the postoperative course, especially in those with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. The most common causes are related to surgical trauma and the high variations in volemic and electrolyte balance in the postoperative period. OBJECTIVES: As cardioplegic solutions can significantly impact both these factors, the study aimed to assess the role of Del Nido (DN) cardioplegia on the onset of POAF. METHODS: A retrospective single-center analysis was carried out on 93 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery where cardioplegia was used. The patients were divided into two groups according to the cardioplegic solution (Cold Blood vs Del Nido), and perioperative outcomes were compared. RESULTS: POAF occurred in 21.5% of patients; the patients treated with cold blood cardioplegia (CBC) showed a 3-times higher rate of POAF compared to the DN group (OR: 3.44; 95% CI: 1.1 to 10.5; p = 0.029). The CBC group showed higher serum potassium levels both after the cross-clamp removal (p<0.001), at the ICU admission (p = 0.007), and during the first 3 postoperative days (p = 0.009). The defibrillation rate at cross-clamp removal (p = 0.003), the dose of postoperative epinephrine (p<0.001), and the peak of serum troponin (p = 0.01), were lower in the DN Group. CONCLUSION: DN cardioplegia showed significantly reduced POAF rates after cardiac surgery by acting on the electrolyte balance, myocardial protection and on the need for postoperative inotropic support.

INTRODUCTION: Our study aimed to examine the impacts of blood cardioplegia (BC) and del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) solutions - which we used in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) - on early mortality and major adverse events (MAE). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 329 consecutive patients who underwent CABG in our clinic between January 2016 and January 2020. Myocardial infarction, reoperation, cardiac tamponade, stroke, renal failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation requirement, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation were defined as MAE. The group in which DNC was used was Group D (181 [55%] patients), and the group in which BC was used was Group B (141 [45%] patients). RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was determined between the groups regarding age, weight, body surface area, gender, or European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation score (P=0.615, P=0.560, P=0.934, P=0.365, P=0.955, respectively). Although there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of aortic cross-clamping time (P=0.712), cardiopulmonary bypass duration was longer in Group B (P=0.001). Even though the incidence of stroke was higher in Group B (P=0.030), no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups regarding total incidence of MAE, mortality, mechanical ventilation time, length of stay in the intensive care unit, or length of hospital stay (P=0.153, P=0.130, P=0.689, P=0.710, P=0.613, respectively). CONCLUSION: We found no significant difference in MAE, mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit stay, or hospital stay between the DNC and BC groups. We believe that both solutions can be used safely for cardiac protection in the adult patient population.

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has been evolving, with the intention of reducing surgical trauma, improve cosmesis and patient satisfaction. Single dose, crystalloid cardioplegia such as Del Nido cardioplegia and Custoidol solution have been increasingly used to reduce the interruption from repeating cardioplegia dosing to minimise the cardiopulmonary bypass and cross clamp time. However, the best cardioplegia for myocardial protection in adult minimally invasive cardiac surgery remains controversial. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to analyse the current evidence in the literature. METHOD: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed following the updated 2020 PRISMA guideline. Articles published in the five major electronic databases up 1st of April 2021 were identified and reviewed. The primary outcome was in-hospital or 30-day mortality. Traditional pairwise and Bayesian network meta-analyses were conducted. RESULTS: Nine articles were included in this study. The use of Del Nido cardioplegia was associated with a lower volume of cardioplegia used (Del Nido vs Blood, 1105.62 mL+/-123.47 vs 2569.46 mL+/-1515.52, p<0.001), cardiopulmonary bypass (Del Nido vs Custoidol vs Blood: 91.67+/-14.78 vs 138.05 +/- 21.30 vs 119.38+/-26.91 minutes, p<0.001) and cross-clamp time (Del Nido vs Custoidol vs Blood: 74.99+/-18.55 vs 82.01 +/- 17.28 vs 93.66+/-8.88 minutes, p < 0.001). No differences were observed in the incidence of in-hospital/30-day mortality rate, new onset of atrial fibrillation and stroke. Ranking analysis showed the Custoidol solution has the highest probability to be the first ranked cardioplegia. CONCLUSION: No differences were found between blood and crystalloid cardioplegia in adult minimally invasive cardiac surgery in several clinical outcomes. The cardioplegia of choice in minimally invasive cardiac surgery remains the surgeons' decision and preference.

BACKGROUND: Crystalloid cardioplegic solutions are believed to reduce hemoglobin significantly and increase the transfusion rate. However, recent reports indicate that the del Nido cardioplegia may preserve blood morphology parameters. METHODS: In "The del Nido versus cold blood cardioplegia in aortic valve Replacement" trial patients undergoing aortic valve replacement were randomized into the del Nido (DN) or cold blood cardioplegia (CB) group. For the subanalysis, patients who underwent blood transfusions were excluded from the study. Red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin, white blood cell (WBC) count and platelet (PLT) count were measured before the surgery, 24-, 48-, and 96 hours postoperatively. Furthermore, percental variation in first-last measure was compared in groups. In addition, indexed normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were compared preoperatively and 24 hours after the surgery. RESULTS: Eighteen (24%) patients from the del Nido group and 22 (29.3%) patients from the CB group received blood product transfusions (p = 0.560) and were excluded from further analysis. As such, 57 patients remained in DN group and 53 patients remained in CB group. No difference was found in RBC, hemoglobin, WBC, and platelet count in time intervals. Percental variation in first-last measure revealed higher fall in RBC (p = 0.0024) and hemoglobin (p = 0.0028) in the CB group. No difference was shown in preoperative and 24-hour postoperative INR and aPTT. CONCLUSIONS: The del Nido cardioplegia does not decrease blood morphology parameters when compared to cold blood cardioplegia and may be used alternatively regardless of bleeding and coagulopathy risk.

OBJECTIVE: Although the application of del Nido cardioplegia solution (DNC) in adult cardiac surgery is accumulating, the feasibility and safety of this myocardial protection strategy in adults remains controversial. We aimed to update our previous meta-analysis to determine the myocardial protective effect of DNC versus conventional cardioplegia (CC) in adult cardiac surgery. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform databases through November 2020. RESULTS: Thirty-seven observational studies and four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including 21,779 patients were identified. The DNC group was associated with decreased postoperative cardiac enzymes [troponin T (cTnT) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB)] [standardized mean differences (SMD): -0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.99 to -0.19, p = 0.004], cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (MD: -9.31, 95% CI: -13.10 to -5.51, p < 0.00001), aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time (MD: -7.20, 95% CI: -10.31 to -4.09, p < 0.00001), and cardioplegia volume (SMD: -1.95, 95% CI: -2.46 to -1.44, p < 0.00001). Intraoperative defibrillation requirement was less in the DNC group [relative risk (RR): 0.50, 95% CI: 0.33 to 0.75, p = 0.0007]. The pooled analysis revealed no significant difference in operative mortality among the patients assigned to DNC and those undergoing CC. CONCLUSION: In adult cardiac surgery, compared to CC, myocardial protection used with DNC yield similar or better short-term clinical outcomes. More high-quality trials and RCTs reflecting long-term follow-up morbidity and mortality are required in the future to confirm these findings.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive procedures are demanding in terms of cardioprotection. In many leading centres Bretschneider HTK solution is used for mitral valve surgery. The study was designed to provide comparison of the del Nido and Bretschneider HTK protocol. METHODS: Patients who underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair for primary mitral regurgitation and received single delivery of either del Nido (Group 1) or Bretschneider HTK cardioplegia (Group 2) were matched on basis of age, gender and length of the cross-clamp time. The groups were compared in terms of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (death, myocardial infarction, stroke), high sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) and creatine kinase- MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) release at 12 h and 24 h following the surgery, incidence of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), postoperative arrhythmia, transfusions and postoperative renal function. RESULTS: Case control matching selected 38 pairs of patients. None of patients died, nor suffered from myocardial infarction or stroke. Troponin values did not differ at 12 h (median: 281.0 pg/mL vs 313.0 pg/mL; p = .38) and 24 h (median: 261.0 pg/mL vs 299.0 pg/mL; p = .54), as well as CK-MB at 12 h (median: 25.0 ng/mL vs 29.0 ng/mL; p = .31) and 24 h (median: 11.0 ng/mL versus 9.6 ng/mL; p = .46). Difference in occurrence of LCOS was insignificant (2 vs 7; 5.2% vs 18.4%; p =.15). No difference was shown in incidence of postoperative arrhythmia, transfusions and renal function. CONCLUSIONS: Del Nido cardioplegia can be used safely as an alternative for Bretschneider HTK for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

INTRODUCTION: The cardioplegic solution of Kirklin (Kn) is frequently used in adult cardiosurgical patients. It requires reinfusion at short intervals, which causes further difficulty during surgery and the quality of myocardial protection is often called into question.

OBJECTIVES: del Nido cardioplegia is used to pharmacologically arrest the heart during cardiac surgery and decrease reperfusion- and ischaemia-related myocardial injury. Studies have demonstrated the physiological differences between male and female hearts, potentially related to cardiac size or myocyte calcium handling; we aimed to assess for between-sex differences in clinical outcomes after receipt of del Nido cardioplegia. METHODS: Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass or coronary artery bypass graft/valve surgery at our institution using del Nido cardioplegia (January 2014 to December 2019) were included (n = 2118). Clinical data were collected retrospectively. After the creation of a propensity-matched cohort (n = 1252), multivariable logistic regression was used to analyse binary postoperative outcomes, and a Gamma model was used for a continuous postoperative outcome. Our primary end-point was a composite end-point comprised of 30-day mortality and/or need for a post-bypass mechanical support device. RESULTS: The final cohort included 459 females and 793 males (matched up to 1:2, all standardized mean differences <0.1). Multivariable logistic regression showed that biological sex was not associated with the composite primary end-point (odds ratio = 0.898, P = 0.779). A Gamma model indicated that there were no sex-related differences in vasoactive-inotropic scores reflecting vasopressor and inotrope usage at the time of patient operating room exit (exp[est] = 1.394, P = 0.189). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings showed no significant between-sex differences in clinical outcomes after receiving del Nido cardioplegia, suggesting adequate myocardial protection as currently administered. Further research is warranted to elicit if there are sex-based differences between cardioplegic solutions. IRB APPROVAL DATE (PROTOCOL NUMBER): 26 May 2021 (AAAR8359).
