Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) cardioplegia and cold blood cardioplegia (CBC) on postoperative right ventricular function in children undergoing tetralogy of Fallot repair.
  • A total of 100 children aged 1 to 5 years were randomly assigned to receive either HTK or CBC, and various heart function metrics were measured post-surgery.
  • Results showed that the HTK group experienced better early cardiac function and lower troponin levels, suggesting it provides superior cardiac protection compared to CBC in these patients.
