Del Nido cardioplegia as a safe and effective method of myocardial protection in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a single‑center experience.
Del Nido (DN) cardioplegia is increasingly popular in adult cardiac surgery. It allegedly allows for up to 90 minutes of safe myocardial ischemia with a single dose. ⋯ Del Nido cardioplegia is a safe and effective method of myocardial protection in adults. It allows for a longer redosing interval with a safety profile and mortality comparable to those for CB cardioplegia, as shown by lower troponin T release when corrected for the time of myocardial ischemia.
