ABSTRACT

Objectives:Cardioplegia is essential for adequate myocardial protection. There continues to remain ambiguity regarding the ideal cardioplegia for adequate myocardial protection in congenital heart surgery. This study compares clinical outcomes using St Thomas II solution and Del Nido cardioplegia in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: All neonates (<30 days) from 2011 to 2017 who underwent surgery requiring cardioplegic arrest were analyzed retrospectively. We divided the cohort into two groups depending on cardioplegia received, as group A (Blood cardioplegia with St Thomas II solution, n = 56) and group B (Del Nido cardioplegia, n = 48). Various demographic, intraoperative, early postoperative, and discharge variables were analyzed. Results: Two groups were similar in age, gender, pre?operative diagnosis, and risk category. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (P = 0.002), aortic cross?clamp (ACC) time (P = 0.018), and the number of doses of cardioplegia (P < 0.001) were significantly lower with Del Nido group. Though vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) (P = 0.036) was high during the first 24 h in the immediate postoperative period in group A, there was no difference in early mortality among both groups (P = 0.749). Both groups did not show significant differences related to various postoperative and discharge variables. Conclusion: When compared to St. Thomas solution, the use of Del Nido cardioplegia solution in neonates is associated with a significant decrease in CPB and ACC times and VIS in the first 24 h after surgery. The choice of cardioplegia (St Thomas/Del Nido) in neonates does not affect early mortality and early postoperative clinical outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Background: del Nido cardioplegia has been historically used in paediatric cardiac surgery. However it’s use in adults has also been documented. It has the advantage of 90 minutes of cardiac inactivity over St. Thomas solution no.-2, which requires repeated dosing at 20 minutes interval. Aim of this study to find out whether del Nido cardioplegia with longer duration of arrest is advantageous over St. Thomas solution no. 2 in adult mitral valve replacement.Methods: Total 60 patients of severe mixed mitral valve disease of comparable patient profiles, underwent mitral valve replacement with preservation of anterolateral and posteromedial chordae. Half the patients received del Nido cardioplegia and other half received St. Thomas solution no 2. (ST-2). The two groups were compared.Results: del Nido group had lesser CPB time (70.73±12.15min) as compared to ST-2 group (81.76±20.03min) with  p=0.01 ; lesser Cross clamp time (del Nido- 68.8±10.64min; ST-2- 75.83±14.00min) with p=0.02; lesser time taken to arrest heart  (del Nido- 21.58±13.37 sec; ST-2- 25.26±5.27 sec) with p=0.04 & lesser time taken for normal ECG activity to manifest after release of cross clamp (del Nido- 19.86±6.10 min; ST-2- 31.03±5.28min) with p=0.02. All other parameters did not reach statistical significance.Conclusions: del Nido cardioplegia group of patients required significantly less CPB time; Cross-clamp time; Mean time taken to arrest the heart; as well as that taken to manifest normal ECG morphology when compared to ST-2 group.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: It is not uncommon in patients, havingrheumatic mitral and aortic valve disease, to undergo mitralvalve replacement with aortic valve replacement that is,double valve replacement (DVR) operation who oftenhave severe cardiac dysfunction optimized with medicalmanagement before surgery. In this retrospective studywe investigated 60 such patients, who underwent DVRoperation with either conventional cold blood cardioplegiawith St Thomas 2 solution (STH), or del Nido cardioplegia(DN) over five years and compared the effects of the twotypes of cardioplegia during perioperative and postoperativeperiod with simultaneous comparative study betweenchanges of cardiac performances in the patients with largerleft ventricle as compared to those with less enlargedones.Material and methods: For this retrospective study, the dataof 60 patients of DVR over five years, in Medical College,Kolkata, India, were retrieved for study. The cases wereplaced into 2 groups: STH and DN according to cardioplegiaused during DVR. Demographic, echocardiographic, andseveral perioperative and postoperative data of the two groupsof patients, were collected. Differences between perioperativebehaviour between STH and DN groups and post operativechanges in the echocardiographic parameters betweenpredominantly mitral stenosis (MS) and mitral regurgitation(MR) patients, were analyzed.Results: The aortic cross clamp (CC) and cardiopulmonarybypass (CPB) time in both predominant MS and MR patientswas shorter in the DN than the STH groups. There was lessarrhythmia, less inotropic and ventilator support in the DNgroup. There was 10% mortality in the series with majoritybeing in the STH and MR predominant patients. Postoperativeimprovement of LVEF, reduction of LVIDS and LVIDDwere also observed in MS predominant in comparison toMR predominant patients after DVR in both STH and DNgroups.Conclusion: Use of DN has been found to have a betteroutcome and survival when compared to STH cardioplegiasolution. DVR could reversely remodel depressed heartswith relatively smaller LV volume and restore LV functionof relatively smaller LV of predominant MS patients betterin comparison to MR predominant patients with relativelydilated hearts.

ABSTRACT

Aim To assess the hemodilution during mitral valve surgery performed using St Thomas cardioplegia versus Del Nido cardioplegia. We also compared the volume of cardioplegia required, cross clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time in each group. Methods and Materials Patients admitted between the period of January 2015 to June 2018 for mitral valve disease were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups each comprising of 50 patients according to type of cardioplegia received during surgery. Results The hemodilution was much lesser in the patients who underwent mitral valve surgery using St Thomas cardioplegia (Haematocrit 26.3 ± 2.5%) as compared to those patients underwent the same surgery using del Nido Cardioplegia (Haematocrit 24.8 ± 2.2%). The volume of cardioplegia, cross clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass time was less with del Nido cardioplegia as compared to St. Thomas cardioplegia (922.6 ± 95.4 vs 1854 ± 228.1 ml; 65.5 ± 8.2 vs 71.52 ± 8.8 minutes and 99.3 ± 13.1 vs 110.6 ± 14.6 minutes respectively). Conclusion The use of St Thomas Cardioplegia in patients during mitral valve replacement surgery has less hemodilution on CPB as compared to del Nido cardioplegia. But the patients who received del Nido cardioplegia has less requirement of number and volume of cardioplegia required during surgery with shorter cross clamp and CPB time

ABSTRACT

@#Objective     To analyze the effect of myocardial protection between modified Del Nido cardioplegia and St. Thomas Hospital Cardioplegia in adult patients with aortic valve and mitral valve replacement. Methods     From January 2014 to June 2016, 140 patients underwent aortic valve and mitral valve replacement in our hospital. According to different cardioplegia, the patients were divided into two groups including a modified Del Nido cardioplegia group (70 patients, 37 males, 33 females at mean age of 53.13±9.52 years) and a St. Thomas cardioplegia group (70 patients, 32 males, 38 females, at age of 50.71±9.29 years). We collected clinical data of the patients before operation (T1), 2 h after aortic unclamping (T2), 24 h after operation (T3) and 48 h after operation (T4). Indexes of muscle enzymes including blood center creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) concentration and liver function indexes including urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentrations, and compared the postoperative and follow-up clinical data. Results     There was no statistical difference in age, weight, gender, ejection fraction baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients were successfully completed  combined valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. The cardiopulmonary time was no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). However, compared with St. Thomas cardioplegia group, modified Del Nido group was less in perfusion (1.19±0.39 vs. 2.99±0.75, P<0.001), shorter in aortic clamping time (P=0.003). No statistical difference was found in defibrillation rate after resuscitation between the two groups (P=0.779). Biochemical indicators were not statistically different at different time points between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion     Modified Del Nido cardioplegia has the same effect on myocardial protection with St. Thomas cardioplegia in adult patients. It reduces the frequency of reperfusion, and shortens the clamping time. There is no additional injury in the important organs such as liver, kidney. Modified Del Nido cardioplegia myocardial protection ability in adult heart valve surgery is feasible.
