Cardioplegia is used to protect the myocardium from ischemic injury during open-heart surgery. However, the delivery of cardioplegic solutions may be impaired by anatomic and/or functional conditions, such as the development of transient aortic regurgitation during antegrade administration of cardioplegia or shunting through a foramen ovale during retrograde administration. In this study, the authors used a new method of cardioplegia administration, based on intraoperative contrast echocardiography, to detect on-line causes of inadequate cardioplegia delivery.
