Comparison of del Nido Cardioplegia vs. blood cardioplegia in adult aortic surgery: Is the single-dose cardioplegia technique really advantageous?

Abstract

Compared with conventional BC, dNCS provided significantly shorter ACC times, reduced the need for intraoperative defibrillation, lowered postoperative hsTnI levels with comparable early clinical outcomes for adult patients undergoing aortic surgery. dNCS is a safe and efficient alternative to the traditional BC solution in adult aortic cardiac surgery.
