Objective  To investigate the myocardial protective effects of Del Nido cardioplegia and analyze its advantages in adult cardiac surgery. Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 96 adult patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery who received Del Nido cardioplegia (a DNC group) from June 2016 to January 2017 in our hospital. There were 44 males and 52 females with a mean age of 51.36±13.31 years. Meanwhile 96 patients who received conventional cardioplegia were recruited as a control group (a CTC group) and there were 53 males and 43 females with a mean age of 52.91±10.95 years. Cross-clamping time, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, total volume of and transfusion frequency of cardioplegia, the rate of spontaneous defibrillation, red blood cell transfusion and vasoactive-inotropic score at postoperative 24 hours (VIS 24) were recorded. Results  No significant difference was found in age, body weight, ejection fraction, hematokrit, CPB time and cross-clamping time between the DNC group and CTC group. There was no significant difference in the rate of spontaneous defibrillation, VIS 24, cardiac enzymes and cardiactroponin I and length of ICU stay between the two groups. The total volume and transfusion frequency of cardioplegia, perioperative blood transfusion were lower in the DNC group. There was no new atrial fibrillation or in-hospital death in the two groups. Conclusion  Del Nido is a good myocardial protection solution in adult cardiac valve surgery, and requires less static preload volume and reduceshemodilution and perioperative blood transfusion.
