    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardioprotection Strategies
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Myocardial protection is crucial during cardiac surgery.
    • Existing methods require optimization for improved outcomes.
    • Aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafting is a common procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new technique for myocardial protection.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of oxygenated blood and cardioplegic solution.
    • To assess the method's success in bypass grafting patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing oxygenated blood from a pump oxygenator.
    • Passing blood through two series-connected cooling coils in ice slush.
    • Infusing a potassium-containing cardioplegic solution into the blood.
    • Controlling the blood-to-cardioplegic solution ratio with a screw clamp.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully applied in 150 consecutive patients.
    • Excellent clinical results were achieved.
    • The method provides effective myocardial protection during surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique offers a safe and effective approach to myocardial protection.
    • This method is suitable for patients undergoing aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafting.
    • The combination of oxygenated blood and cardioplegic solution yields superior outcomes.
