Abstract Objective: Del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) has been used in pediatric cardiac surgery for many years with a single dose application and its usage in adult cardiac surgery has been increasing in recent years, with results being published. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of DNC on the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF). Methods: In this retrospective observational comparative study, 255 patients who underwent isolated on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, between January 2019 and November 2019, were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups: DNC (n=132) and blood cardioplegia (BC) (n=123). Intraoperative and postoperative data were evaluated and compared in terms of the development of PoAF. Results: We found that the development of PoAF and the length of hospital stay remain significantly higher in the BC group (P=0.044, P<0.001, respectively). In addition, the aortic cross-clamp time and the cardioplegia volume delivered were significantly lower in the DNC group (P=0.042, P<0.001, respectively). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, only higher cardioplegia volume was determined as an independent predictor for PoAF development (OR 1.001; 95% CI 1.000-1.001; P=0.033). We did not found difference between groups in terms of troponin T, inotropic drug support, need for intraaortic balloon pump and mortality. Conclusion: This study showed that DNC can be used safely in adult coronary bypass surgery and PoAF development effect is reduced.

Abstract Ventricular free wall rupture is a fatal mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. In some cases it can be represented as subacute clinic and may not cause death in a few minutes. Acute pseudo-aneurysms are extremely unstable and bound to fatal rupture. Herein we report a male patient who suffered dyspnea and mild chest pain, 4 weeks after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Abstract Objective: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF) is a common complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between development of PoAF and vitamin D levels in patients undergoing isolated CABG. Methods: This prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted on the patients with isolated CABG. The study was terminated when 50 patients in both PoAF(+) group and PoAF(-) group were reached. Development of AF until discharge period was assessed. Vitamin D level was measured immediately after AF; it was measured on the discharge day for the patients without PoAF. Predictive values of the independent variables were measured for the development of PoAF. Results: The groups were separated as PoAF(-) group (66% male, mean age 58.18±10.98 years) and PoAF(+) group (74% male, mean age 61.94±10.88 years). 25(OH) vitamin D level (OR=0.855, 95% CI: 0.780-0.938, P=0.001) and > 65 years (OR=3.525, 95% CI: 1.310-9.483, P=0.013) were identified as an independent predictor of postoperative AF after CABG surgery in multivariate analysis. The cut-off level for 25(OH) vitamin D level in receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis was determined as 7.65 with sensitivity of 60% and specificity of 64% for predicting PoAF (area under the curve: 0.679, P=0.002). Conclusion: Vitamin D level is considered an independent predictor for development of PoAF. Lower vitamin D levels may be one of the reasons for PoAF.
