Abstract:
Objective: To evaluated the effective of myocardial protection of three perfusion methods in cardiac valve replacement under Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC)
Methods: 53 patients were divided into three groups. Group1 received cold crystalloid cardioplegia induction, group 2 were perfused with 4:1 blood cardioplegia, group 3 received continuous warm blood retrograde perfusion.
Results: The total volume and hemodilution of group 2 and group 3 were lower than group 1, but the temperature was higher than group 1, there were significantly difference (
P<0.05) The perfusion volume of crystalloid cardioplegia and blood k
+ of group 1 were higher than group 2 (
P<0.05) The rate of auto-resuscitation was lower than group 2 (
P<0.05) The ECC total volume and aortic clam time in group3 were lower than that in group2 and group1 (
P<0.05) The post operative LVEF decreased slightly in group2 and group3 (
P>0.05), but decreased significantly in group1 (
P<0.05)
Conclusion: crystalloid cardioplegia was convenient to use for myocardial protection, but it was not satisfied for sickly patients with dysfunction of left ventricle 4:1 cold blood cardioplegia and normal thermia ECC with retrograde perfusion without cardiac arrest can provide the energy for myocardial, therefore, it was benefit for valve replacement
