Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates the effectiveness of modified del Nido (mDN) cardioplegia compared to traditional St. Thomas II (ST) cardioplegia in mitral valve surgeries for dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease.
  • - The results show that the mDN group had significantly shorter cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time, and total operation time, along with fewer doses and less total volume of cardioplegia needed.
  • - No significant differences were found in defibrillation needs, in-hospital mortality, or echocardiographic outcomes between the two groups, suggesting that mDN cardioplegia is a promising alternative with efficiency benefits.

Introduction: Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD) is an acquired heart disease which sometimes result in pulmonary oedema and left atrial rupture. In previous reports, left atrial rupture has been non-surgically controlled and its prognosis investigated. There is, however, no report concerning surgically treated left atrial rupture with mitral valvuloplasty and follow-up results.

Protamine, an antagonizing agent to heparin, is indispensable for dogs undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Protamine-induced hypotension (PIH) during cardiac anesthesia has been reported in humans. The purpose of this study was to describe the hemodynamic effect of protamine administration in dogs during cardiac surgery in clinical cases.
