Del Nido Cardioplegia can be Safely Administered in High-Risk Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery After Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Propensity Matched Comparison
Del Nido (DN) cardioplegia solution provides a depolarized hyperkalemic arrest lasting up to 60 minutes, and the addition of lidocaine may limit intracellular calcium influx.
