Endoscopically assisted selective antegrade cardioplegia in minimally invasive aortic valve replacement for patients with aortic insufficiency.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In minimally invasive aortic valve replacement via a right minithoracotomy for patients with significant aortic insufficiency, optimal cardioplegia delivery procedures remain controversial. This study aimed to describe and evaluate endoscopically assisted selective cardioplegia delivery in minimally invasive aortic valve replacement for aortic insufficiency.

Methods

Between September 2015 and February 2022, 104 patients (mean age, 66.0 ± 14.3 years) with moderate or greater aortic insufficiency underwent endoscopically assisted minimally invasive aortic valve replacement at our institutions. For myocardial protection, potassium chloride and landiolol were systemically administered before aortic crossclamping, and cold crystalloid cardioplegia was delivered selectiv
