Myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI) occurring from acute coronary artery disease
or cardiac surgical interventions such as bypass surgery can result in myocardial …

We convened a group of cardiac surgeons, intensivists, and anesthesiologists with
extensive experience in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and perioperative care to …

Objective To compare outcomes of single (intervention group: del Nido [DN], and histamine–
tryptophan–ketoglutarate) versus multidose (control group) cardioplegia in the adult cardiac …

OBJECTIVES Prolonged aortic cross-clamp (XCT) and cardiopulmonary bypass time
(CPBT) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery. The …

Introduction: Along with cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clam** time is directly
related to the risk of complications after heart surgery. The influence of the time difference …

Objective Many papers evaluated predictive factors for prolonged intensive care unit (ICU)
stay after cardiac surgery, but efforts in translating those models in practical clinical tools is …

Background Aortic cross-clamp utilized during cardiac surgery facilitates motionless and
bloodless surgical field. However, the duration of clamp time has an inverse effect on early …

Introduction: Safe cross-clamp time using single-dose Custodiol®–histidine-tryptophan-
ketoglutarate cardioplegia has not been established conclusively. Methods: Immediate post …

Background Redo sternotomy aortic root surgery is technically demanding, and the
evidence on outcomes is mostly from retrospective, small sample, single-centre studies. We …

Minimally invasive surgery is a useful alternative to open repair for patients with nonruptured
abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). We aim to compare the clinical outcomes for three …
