Initial experience with del Nido cardioplegia solution at a Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery Program in Brazil

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome measures between our standard multidose cardioplegia protocol and a del Nido cardioplegia protocol in congenital heart surgery patients. Methods: Retrospective single-center study including 250 consecutive patients that received del Nido cardioplegia (DN group) with a mandatory reperfusion period of 30% of cross clamp time and 250 patients that received a modified St. Thomas’ solution (ST group). Groups were matched by age, weight, gender, and Risk Adjus… Show more

“…In addition to all these developments, the optimal cardioplegia strategy in terms of composition, route, and technique has not yet been scientifically explained. [3] The del Nido (DN) cardioplegia solution was developed in the 1990s at the University of Pittsburgh. [4] This solution, which causes depolarizing arrest during open-heart surgery, has a more dilute structure than the conventional cardioplegia solution.…”
