Left ventricular dysfunction after two hours of polarizing or depolarizing cardioplegic arrest in a porcine model.
CONCLUSION: Myocardial protection for two hours of polarizing cardioplegic arrest with STH-POL in oxygenated blood is non-inferior compared to STH-2 blood cardioplegia. STH-POL cardioplegia alleviates the mismatch between myocardial function and perfusion after weaning from CPB.
