technology in contemporary practice means that few surgical centres have accumulated sucient experience to share it with the scientic community. Concerns have been expressed in the litera­ture regarding safety, ventricular dilatation during perfusion using MiECC, loss of a bloodless eld, and risk of air embolism. However, these reports are anecdotal and theoretical but not supported by large- scale studies; in any case, no fatal or major adverse episodes have been described by any author, which is not the case in other techniques including OPCAB. Nevertheless, MiECC requires a learning curve and a more active intraoperative involvement of both the perfusionist and the anaesthesiologist compared to per­fusion with cCPB. Moreover, contemporary perfusion technique necessitates implementation of a perioperative strategy through teamwork; this also mandates a comprehensive multidisciplinary training.
In summary, the concept of MiECC systems initiated important new eorts within science and technology towards a more physio­logical perfusion in cardiac surgery. Benets of MiECC include reduced haemodilution, less blood transfusion, and improved end­organ protection, and translate into improved clinical outcome. However, in order to draw denite conclusions, large, multicentre, well- designed randomized controlled trials focusing on long- term outcome data are mandatory. us, in 2018, MiECTiS launched Conventional versus Minimally Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery (CoMiCS), a multicentre trial planned to enrol 3500 patients comparing MiECC with cCPB in more than 20 participating centres.
In conclusion, as far as coronary revascularization surgery is concerned, MiECC provides optimal conditions (bloodless eld and arrested heart) to allow the most complete myocardial revascularization while enabling the performance of other concomi­tant heart surgery.

Cardioplegiastrategies
Constantine L. Athanasuleas and Gerald D. Buckberg
Introduction
Cardioplegia is the intentional temporary cessation of cardiac ac­tivity to provide a quiet bloodless eld that facilitates accurate ex­posure and suture placement during cardiac operations. is chapter reviews the components of a commonly used cardioplegia solution and details a method of cardioplegia delivery that has been used in millions of patients worldwide.
Components ofcardioplegia
e goals of cardioplegia are electrical quiescence, uniform cooling (when hypothermic), and washout of metabolic substances. Cardioplegia solutions vary in their composition (blood or crystal­loid in varying ratios), temperature (warm, cold, or tepid), potas­sium content (high or low), and route of administration (antegrade/ retrograde).
Currently, the most frequently used crystalloid cardioplegia is a modied Bretschneider solution referred to as ‘HTK’ (histidine, tryptophan, keto- glutamate) cardioplegia. HTK contains histidine, a buer for acidosis, keto- glutamate, an amino acid and precursor of nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate to increase energy produc­tion during reperfusion, tryptophan, a membrane stabilizer, and mannitol to decrease oedema formation. Crystalloid cardioplegia shis the oxyhaemoglobin curve leward and it retards adenosine triphosphatase, causing myocardial oedema, activation of platelets, leucocytes, and complement.
Blood cardioplegia contains potassium that promotes rapid electromechanical arrest. Intermittent dosing maintains aerobic metabolism. Blood provides a good buer and scavenges oxygen­derived free radicals. Amino acid additives (glutamate and aspar­tate) replenish energy- depleted ischaemic hearts and are typically infused as a warm solution at the end of ischaemic cross- clamping (‘hot shot’). Blood cardioplegia usually consists of four parts of blood to one part of crystalloid. It maintains oncotic pressure and has advantageous rheological properties. Potassium (20– 40mmol/ L) produces diastolic arrest. Sodium (approximately 150mmol/ L)
is used to minimize sodium inux and intracellular oedema. Citrate phosphate dextrose limits the calcium inux during ischaemia that can damage sarcolemma membranes. Tromethamine (tris­hydroxymethyl aminomethane or ‘THAM’) is used as a buer to prevent acidosis. THAM diuses into the intracellular space and cap­tures the CO produced by metabolic acidosis. Blood cardioplegia limits reperfusion injury and reverses ischaemia and reperfusion changes in the acutely ischaemic myocardium.
Enriched blood cardioplegia (37°C) contains glutamate and as­partate that replenish key Krebs cycle intermediates that are depleted during ischaemia. Ventricular function is enhanced by delivering this ‘hot shot’ prior to de- clamping of the aorta (Fig. 25.1).
Integratedcardioplegia
cluding the route of delivery (antegrade vs retrograde or both), the mode of delivery (continuous vs intermittent), and temperature (warm vs cold). ‘Integrated cardioplegia’ utilizes each of these and is tailored to the momentary physiological needs of the heart. ere are no time restraints and it works well for fast or slow surgeons. Most importantly, immediate functional recovery aer 6 hours of regional ischaemia can be obtained by controlling both the condi­tions and composition of the reperfusate.
e ‘Buckberg’ cardioplegia solutions are summarized in Tabl e
25.1. We routinely use two formulations in elective coronary bypass
operations. Bag 1 (induction/ terminal) is a high- potassium, amino acid- enriched solution. It is infused cold aer aortic clamping and infused as a terminal ‘hot- shot’ just before aortic de- clamping to resuscitate the energy- depleted myocardium. Bag 2 (maintenance cardioplegia) is a low- potassium solution infused at 15– 20- minute intervals. Finally, a third cardioplegia (rescue cardioplegia) is given in cardiogenic shock following acute infarction. is is a substrate­enriched, hyperosmotic, hypocalcaemic, alkalotic solution con­taining diltiazem. It is administered as a controlled reperfusion of the infarcted area and results in substantial early recovery of ven­tricular function.

It is crucial to monitor infusion pressure during cardioplegia de­livery because manual estimates of aortic pressure can be mis­leading. Antegrade pressure should not exceed 70– 80 mmHg to avoid aortic dissection. Retrograde pressure should not exceed 40mmHg. Higher pressure indicates migration of the catheter dis­tally and can lead to rupture. Low pressure indicates misplacement or dislodgement. Perforation of the coronary sinus can usually be directly sutured. Haematomas are oen self- contained aer heparin reversal.

Cardioplegia forelective coronarybypass
A typical three- vessel coronary bypass using integrated cardioplegia is described, including internal thoracic graing to the anterior descending and two saphenous vein bypasses. Aer sternotomy, the aorta, right atrium, and coronary sinus are cannulated. Cardiopulmonary bypass is instituted with core cooling to 34°C. e aorta is clamped and cold (10°C) bag 1 cardioplegia is infused antegrade at a rate of 300 mL/ min for 2 minutes and retrograde at 200 mL/ min for 2 minutes. Septal temperature is monitored targeted to 10°C or below. If the antegrade pressure exceeds 80mmHg, ow is decreased with a longer infusion.

Saphenous vein
Following electrical quiescence, the rst anastomosis of vein to the right coronary is performed with the aorta vented to decompress the ventricle. Retrograde cardioplegia provides little protection to the right ventricle because venovenous connections limit access to capillaries. Aer graing and before the suture is tied, cold bag 2 maintenance solution (low potassium) is infused simultaneously retrograde and antegrade through the unattached vein gra. is allows protection of the le ventricle and septum via retrograde ow while protecting the right ventricle via ow through the vein gra. Bag 2 is infused at 200 mL/ min for 1 minute. Air is purged and the suture is tied. During infusion, the distended vein is measured and transected. A4 mm hole is made in the ascending aorta. During the proximal anastomosis, continuous unmodied retrograde cold blood is infused. e only ischaemia time is during the distal anastomoses.
Before tying the proximal anastomosis, the stopcock is turned and bag 2 cardioplegia is infused into the aortic root at 200 mL/ m for 1 minute. Atuberculin needle is used to purge air from the saphenous vein. e rst bypass is now attached proximally and distally. e aorta is again vented as the assistant positions the heart for graing of the next distal. Vein is graed to the marginal for example and bag 2 is infused antegrade through the vein gra as previously and simultaneously retrograde into the coronary sinus. Two sources of opposite ow to the same muscle may seem odd, but drainage is through the ebesian veins. e procedure is repeated as previ­ously if more than two veins are graed. We save the last proximal vein graing until the very end as described later.
Next, the Internal thoracic artery is graed to the anterior de­scending arterty as the patient and bag 1 cardioplegia (substrate en­hanced) are warmed. Aterminal bag 1‘hot shot’ is infused antegrade (200 mL/ min) for 2 minutes and retrograde at 200 mL/ min for 2 minutes. We reserve one proximal anastomosis for the end and this is done during the retrograde infusion. is infusion transitions into plain continuous warm blood as the last proximal is completed. e high- potassium cardioplegia is washed out and the heart begins to
contract. e aortic clamp is le on and the stopcock switched to antegrade warm blood at a ow of 300 mL/ min for 2– 3 minutes until there is vigorous contraction. e clamp is removed and the patient weaned o bypass, usually within 5 minutes despite clamp times over 3 hours. Debrillation is rarely required.
is method has several advantages. ere is no wasted time and the operation ows very smoothly. e only ischaemia is during distal graing. e operative eld is dry at all times. Only two bags of cardioplegia are needed.
Repeat coronary bypass surgery poses several challenges espe­cially when there is a patent internal thoracic artery. Aer limited dissection to expose and cannulate the aorta and atrium, cardiopul­monary bypass is instituted with core cooling to 34°C. It is important not to dissect out the heart until cardioplegic arrest has been estab­lished, so as to not compress old gras that can embolize. Temporary occlusion of the internal thoracic artery is done with a so clamp. If this is dangerous, the internal thoracic artery may be le unclamped with repeated episodes of cardioplegia and core temperature reduc­tion to 28°C.
ere are few randomized clinical trials in patients comparing cardioplegic solutions. e meta- analysis of 34 randomized trials by Guru etal. found a signicantly lower incidence of low output syn­drome and creatine kinase- MB release with blood versus crystalloid cardioplegia, whereas the incidence of myocardial infarction and death were similar. is meta- analysis was confounded, however, by the fact that the authors were unable to extract data on low output syndrome and creatine kinase- MB from the two largest trials. No dierences in myocardial infarction or mortality were reported. In a review of 18 randomized trials by Jacob etal., ten trials reported some statistically signicant clinical outcomes in favour of blood cardioplegia and ve reported statistically signicant dierences in enzyme release in favour of blood cardioplegia.
ere are few recent surveys of surgeon preference. Asurvey of United Kingdom practice in 2004 found that that 56% of surgeons use cold blood cardioplegia, 14% use warm blood cardioplegia, 14%
SECTION 5 Management of cardiopulmonary bypass214

use crystalloid cardioplegia, 21% use retrograde infusion, and 16% do not use any cardioplegia. ese analyses compare solutions, not methods of administration, as described herein.
proximal to this anastomosis. Addition of leucocyte ltration is an adjunct that may lead to less inammation markers, less peak cre­atine kinase, and less catecholamines.
Some surgeons advocate alternatives to blood cardioplegia. A single- centre study compared the HTK solution with repeated tepid cardioplegia in all adult cardiac operations. Propensity- score
Evaluation ofcardioplegiastrategies
matching was used and the authors concluded that the HTK solu­tion was at least as safe as tepid blood cardioplegia. However, car­diac enzymes were not measured nor was the need for inotropic support. Postoperative enzymes have been shown to be related to long- term survival and low output syndrome is associated with a higher complication rate., As Weisel pointed out, no dierence between two cardioplegia strategies is not the same as equivalence or non- inferiority.
Most recently, del Nido cardioplegia used in congenital surgery has been applied in coronary surgery. e solution is based on Plasma- Lyte® A(Baxter Healthcare, Deereld, IL, USA) with added mannitol, magnesium sulphate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, and lidocaine. It is given as a single dose and good out­comes have been obtained in isolated aortic valve replacement. ere is scarce data regarding its use in coronary surgery and many studies are retrospective. Arecent review of cardioplegia solu­tions by authors at the Cleveland Clinic supported the use of del Nido cardioplegia in low- risk coronary artery bypass graing, but there was insucient evidence to support its safety in high- risk situations.
Caution must be used in choosing cardioplegia strategies. Enzyme changes rather than clinical outcomes are usually reported. Paradoxical septal motion occurs in as many as 40% of patients aer cardiac surgery, questioning the ecacy of cardioplegia delivery, and can lead to acute right ventricular failure., e septum con­stitutes approximately 35% of overall ventricular weight and 50% of le ventricular weight so that measuring septal performance should ideally be the yardstick used to compare cardioplegia approaches. We did not observe paradoxical septal motion among 119 patients undergoing a variety of cardiac surgical procedures utilizing the in­tegrated method. Our most recent study evaluated septal function by three- dimensional speckle tracking utilizing the same cold- blood solution comparing antegrade versus antegrade/ retrograde delivery. Only isolated antegrade delivery displayed statistically signicant deterioration of septal function.
Ongoing studies will likely lead to the incorporation of additional cardioprotective methods, such as preconditioning agents, white blood cell lters, oxygen radical scavengers, endothelium- enhancing agents, and molecular factors that will further improve the safety of ischaemic intervals and limit reperfusion damage.
Cardioplegia forevolving myocardial infarction
Acute infarction is sometimes treated with bypass graing. As with percutaneous methods, reperfusion of the occluded artery with blood leads to an acute reperfusion injury and does not restore immediate contractility. Aspecial formulation of cardioplegia has been devised to perfuse the acutely occluded coronary artery and has been exten­sively reported to prevent or reduce myocardial injury. is ‘rescue cardioplegia’ (Table 25.1, bag 3)is a controlled, substrate- enhanced, low- potassium reperfusion given over 20 minutes to the occluded artery to replenish energy stores. e addition of a calcium channel blocker helps prevent calcium inux.–  Cardiopulmonary bypass is begun and a le ventricular vent placed in the right superior pul­monary vein to decompress the heart. e aorta is clamped and the heart arrested with warm substrate- enhanced cardioplegia (Tabl e
25.1, bag 3)at a ow of 300 mL/ min antegrade for 2 minutes and
200 mL/ min retrograde for 2 minutes. Cold bag 2 is then similarly infused with septal temperature monitoring. e graing proceeds as usual with one major change. Asaphenous vein is graed to the infarct- related artery. is gra is le unattached to the aorta while the hot- shot (bag1) is given antegrade and retrograde as usual. e aortic clamp is removed. e gra to the occluded coronary is then selectively perfused with bag 3 for 20 minutes with the le ventricle vented at a ow of 50 mL/ min. At this point, the last remaining step is to gra the vein gra to the aorta as continuous warm blood is in­fused retrograde while the aorta is briey clamped. If one chooses to use the internal thoracic artery to the anterior descending artery, it can be graed to the hood of the vein gra and the vein gra ligated

Patient blood management strategies incardiacsurgery
Aryeh Shander and Victor A. Ferraris
Burden ofanaemia incardiacsurgery
Anaemia (haemoglobin level <12 g/ dL in women and <13 g/ dL in men) is a common preoperative nding in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with the reported prevalence usually in the range of 25– 50%. e prevalence is usually higher among older patients, those undergoing more complex procedures, patients with heavier burden of disease, and those with longer duration of perioperative hospital stay. Despite its high prevalence and seemingly uncritical nature, anaemia is an important comorbidity that should never be ignored. Anaemia is an independent risk factor for many compli­cations and unfavourable outcomes including renal injury, stroke, ischaemic cardiac events, infections, prolonged ventilatory support, longer hospital stay, and death. Moreover, anaemia is a leading pre­disposing factor for allogeneic blood transfusions in the periopera­tive period.
In a study of 2306 patients undergoing non- emergent coronary artery bypass graing (CABG) operations, lower preoperative haematocrit level was an independent predictor of increased risk of major morbidities in subgroups of patients with higher Society for oracic Surgery mortality risk score. Interestingly, transfusion was a signicant independent risk factor for major morbidity among all patients, regardless of their Society for oracic Surgery score categor y. Amulticentre study of 1444 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass across 16 hospitals depicted the interaction between anaemia, transfusion, and outcomes. In this study, over one- third of patients were anaemic during the preopera­tive period, while one- third of patients developed anaemia during surgery and 43% of patients received red blood cell transfusion. Compared with non- anaemic patients, transfused anaemic patients had a 2.6- fold increased risk of developing acute kidney injury. In a meta- analysis of 24 observational studies including around a million surgical patients, preoperative anaemia occurred in 39% of the pa­tients and translated to increased risk of in- hospital mortality, acute kidney injury, and infection. In the subgroup of patients undergoing CABG, anaemic patients had an increased risk of stroke.
Prevalence of anaemia commonly continues to rise as patients spend more days admitted in hospitals, giving rise to what is known
as hospital- acquired anaemia (HAA). HAA can develop in as many as three- quarters of hospitalized non- anaemic patients, while an­aemia worsens in prehospital anaemic patients as well. is leaves a majority of patients discharged from the hospital with anaemia, and discharge anaemia persists for a long time and contributes to worsening outcomes in many discharged patient populations in­cluding those undergoing cardiac surgery.
Blood transfusion incardiacsurgery
e presence of anaemia is the leading risk factor for transfusion in the perioperative period, increasing the odds ratio of transfusion by as much as vefold. e distribution of blood transfusions in cardiac surgery roughly follows the Pareto’s principle (or the 80– 20 rule) for a complex process:some 80% of blood components are used in around 20% of the patients. is distribution pattern sug­gests that by focusing on a relatively small percentage of patients, it is possible to achieve signicant reductions in blood utilization. However, what is missing here is the issue of patient outcomes and the fact that the majority of patients undergoing cardiac surgery are transfused— many just receiving 1– 2 units— and a substantial frac­tion of them suer from the negative consequences of allogeneic blood. On the other hand, a dose– response relationship exists be­tween transfused blood and risks of morbidity and mortality. As the number of transfused red blood cell units increases, the composite risk of morbidity and operative mortality increases.
ese observations do not imply that all allogeneic blood transfusions are always bad. Like any other medical treatments, blood transfusions can help patients when indicated and when their expected benets outweigh their risks. Studies support bene­ts of transfusion in certain high- risk trauma and massive haem­orrhage patients. In a study of over 10,000 trauma patients, there was reduced mortality among transfused high- risk patients, while low- risk patients actually had an increased odds ratio of mortality associated with transfusion. Similarly, in a study of over 470,000 surgical patients stratied based on their risk of major morbidity or mortality, blood transfusion was associated with an increased
