Abstract
Background: This study examined the efficacy of del Nido cardioplegia compared with traditional blood cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery for isolated coronary artery bypass grafting by evaluating the early postoperative outcomes.
Methods: A total of 119 patients who underwent isolated conventional coronary artery bypass grafting were enrolled and divided into two groups (del Nido cardioplegia group [n = 36] and blood cardioplegia group [n = 50]) based on the type of cardioplegia used. This study compared the preoperative characteristics, intraoperative data, and early postoperative outcomes. Further subgroup analyses were conducted for high-risk patient groups.
Results: The 30-day mortality and morbidity rates were not significantly different between groups. The del Nido cardioplegia group exhibited advantageous myocardial protection outcomes, demonstrated by a significantly smaller rise in Troponin I levels post-surgery (2.8 [-0.4; 4.2] vs. 4.5 [2.9; 7.4] ng/mL, p = 0.004) and fewer defibrillation attempts during weaning off of cardiopulmonary bypass (0.0 ± 0.2 vs. 0.4 ± 1.1 times, p = 0.011) when compared to the blood cardioplegia group. Additionally, the del Nido group achieved a reduction in surgery duration, as evidenced by the reduced aortic cross-clamping time (64.0 [55.5; 75.5] vs. 77.5 [65.0; 91.0] min, p = 0.001) and total operative time (287.5 [270.0; 305.0] vs. 315.0 [285.0; 365.0] min, p = 0.008). Subgroup analyses consistently demonstrated that the del Nido cardioplegia group had a significantly smaller postoperative increase in Troponin I levels across all subgroups (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: del Nido cardioplegia provided myocardial protection and favorable early postoperative outcomes compared to blood cardioplegia, making it a viable option for conventional coronary artery bypass grafting. Establishing a consensus on the protocol for Del Nido cardioplegia administration in adult surgeries is needed.
