About this trial

The aim of the present study is to investigate intra-operative changes in markers of myocardial injury during ischemia and reperfusion, comparing three methods of myocardial protection; St. Thomas' cold crystalloid cardioplegia, Calafiore warm blood cardioplegia, or modified del Nido cold blood cardioplegia in routine coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All consecutive patients undergoing elective primary coronary artery bypass grafting will be enrolled in this study.

Disqualifiers

Patients will be excluded from this study if they had suffered from previous myocardial infarction, had reduced ejection fraction or were undergoing combined or repeated surgery

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • The intervention is the use of a specific cardioplegia solution for myocardial protection

    Procedure/Surgery

    Three different solutions will be used for myocardial protection in this study, and will be compared using markers of myocardial injury

Treatment groups

30 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: St. Thomas' cardioplegiaActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: Calafiore cardioplegiaActive comparator 1 intervention
Group C: del Nido cardioplegiaActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes in extracellular vesicles-derived miRNAs as markers of myocardial injury

Extracellular vesicles-derived miRNA (miR-499, miR-208b, miR-133a, EV-miR-1) will be measured, and release kinetics of EV-miRNAs will be determined and compared between the three groups, including correlation between EV-miRNA and cross-clamp time.

Time frame
From start of surgery and for 24 hours
2

Changes in complement system activation

Complement system activation (sC5b-9, C5a, C3a) will be determined and compared between the three groups, including whether blood cardioplegia reduces complement activation and the relation between cardioplegia temperature and complement activation.

Time frame
from start of surgery and for 24 hours
3

Changes in neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)

Neutrophil extracellular Traps (dsDNA) will be determined and compared between the three groups, including the effect of hypothermia on NETs formation.

Time frame
From start of surgery and for 24 hours
