Background: The objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of antegrade perfusion with terminal non-cardioplegic warm blood (TNWB) before aortic unclamping in single-clamp technique coronary artery bypass has a positive impact on intraoperative heartbeat recovery.
Methods: Between December 2022 and May 2023, 40 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass using single-clamp technique were randomized into one of two groups: the TNWB group received an antegrade perfusion with TNWB before removing the aortic cross-clamp (n = 20), while the control group did not receive (n = 20). The time intervals between coronary perfusion and the onset of the first heartbeats and sinus rhythms, occurrences of spontaneous sinus rhythm, intraoperative defibrillation requirements, as well as postoperative CK-MB and troponin T levels were recorded and subjected to analysis.

Objectives: Over the last decade, the practice of surgical revascularization for the coronary artery disease has been popularized in Bangladesh. Our aim was to compare the outcome of non-cardioplegic versus cardioplegic coronary artery bypass surgery in terms of early postoperative outcomes.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in March 2020 on Medline (via PubMed), Scopus and Bangladesh Journal Online electronic databases according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Background: Ex vivo machine perfusion (EVMP) is reported to can successfully be applied for donor heart preservation. To respond to the organ shortage, some centres also accept hearts from marginal donors such as non-heart beating donors (NHBD) or hearts donated after cardiac death (DCD) for heart transplantation (HTx). Clinical as well as preclinical science on EVMP of DCD hearts seems to be promising but the ideal perfusion practice itself appears unclear.

Objectives: Aortic arch surgery is associated with substantial perioperative risks. New prostheses as well as novel perfusion techniques have been developed to reduce the risks of these procedures. The routine application of these new techniques warrants reassessment of risk factors of aortic arch repair.

Objectives: Cardioplegic myocardial protection is used in most cardiac surgical procedures. However, other alternatives have proved useful. We analysed the perioperative results in a large series of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass (CABG) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and non-cardioplegic methods.
