Del Nido Cardioplegia in Adult Cardiac Surgery: Analysis of Myocardial Protection and Post-Operative High-Sensitivity Troponin T
In a broad cohort of adult cardiac surgery patients, including those undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery and those with recent myocardial infarction, del Nido provides equivalent myocardial protection and clinical outcomes when compared to hyperkalemic blood cardioplegia. Post-operative high-sensitivity Troponin T values were also equivalent between the groups.
