Myocardial protection with histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution in comparison with hypothermic hyperkalemic blood solution in the correction of acyanotic congenital heart diseases

Abstract Background Intraoperative myocardial preservation is essential in pediatric cardiac surgeries. The combination of hypothermia and hyperkalemic cardioplegia is commonly used. Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK–Custodiol) is a long-acting crystalloid cardioplegia which induces cardiac ar...
