Myocardial protection technique structured on cardiac mass.
CONCLUSION: The study group in the aortic valve surgery that administered myocardial protection indexed for the left ventricular mass index and showed a statistically significant lower incidence for post-operative low cardiac output syndrome compared to the control group.

One-shot cardioplegia for minimally invasive mitral valve repair-a comparison of del Nido and Bretschneider Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate solutions
CONCLUSIONS: Del Nido cardioplegia can be used safely as an alternative for Bretschneider HTK for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.PMID:35320027 | DOI:10.1177/02676591221080653

Case Report: Disparate flow in HeartMate II patient with extensive left ventricle repair.
In conclusion, the HMII flow rate displayed can be inaccurate and should only be used for trending. PMID: 26531760 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Whole body perfusion strategy for aortic arch repair under moderate hypothermia.
CONCLUSIONS: A WBP strategy during aortic arch reconstruction with MHCA may be associated with more rapid normalization of metabolic parameters and reduced ICU length of stay compared to using ACP alone. Further evaluation with a randomized trial is warranted. PMID: 29103365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Intermittent upper and lower body perfusion during circulatory arrest is safe for aortic repair.
CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent upper and lower body retrograde perfusion during circulatory arrest is safe for aortic repair, resulting in low morbidity and mortality. There were only modest rises in hepatic and renal injury biomarkers as well as the rapid clearance of lactate. These findings support the continued study of this technique to reduce end-organ dysfunction during circulatory arrest, including expansion to patients with longer circulatory arrest duration and a direct comparison with conventional circulatory arrest without retrograde upper and lower body perfusion.

Left ventricular free-wall rupture: An unusual presentation of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis
Perfusion. 2022 May 16:2676591221092313. doi: 10.1177/02676591221092313. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare, often asymptomatic, condition. A 55-year-old woman presented with hemiparesis, facial palsy and chest pain. After urgent investigation, she was referred as a case of type A aortic dissection complicated by tamponade, myocardial infarction and stroke. Review of her imaging identified haemopericardium but no dissection, and emergency surgery proceeded considering her unstable condition. She underwent an emergency repair of left-ventricular free-wall rupture and excisio...
