"Introduction: Modern cardiac surgery prioritizes myocardial protection, incorporating various strategies including cardioplegia to preserve heart function during surgery. The Del Nido (DN) cardioplegia solution, initially for pediatric use, shows promise in adult surgeries due to its longer protection duration and reduced re-dosing needs. However, its efficacy in adults remains under-researched.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of modified Del Nido cardioplegia in adult and pediatric cardiac surgeries, comparing intraoperative and postoperative metrics to provide evidence on its efficacy and safety. To assess the clinical outcomes of modified Del Nido cardioplegia in cardiac surgeries across different age groups, focusing on myocardial protection, hemodynamic stability, surgical outcomes, recovery, and complications.
