Randomized Trial of HTK Versus Warm Blood Cardioplegia for Right Ventricular Protection in Mitral Surgery
The objective of this study is to clarify the reliability of the one-shot histidine-tryptophane-ketoglutarate (HTK) cardioplegia for right ventricular (RV) myocardial protection during mitral surgery, in patients with or without pre-operative RV dysfunction.
