Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare del Nido and Bretschneider-HTK (HTK) cardioplegia solutions in patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Does the del Nido cardioplegia provide better cardioprotection and clinical outcomes than HTK cardioplegia? Participants will receive one of the investigated cardioplegia solutions according to the randomization.

Researchers will compare both groups in terms of cardioprotection (described as levels of CK-MB and hsTnI), in-hospital clinical outcomes, biochemical changes in coronary sinus blood and one-year follow-up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The idea of using del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery appeared after many reports proving its safety and efficacy in the paediatric population. Therefore many adult centres started to apply it in everyday practice. Despite its growing popularity and application in different types of cardiac surgeries, there is still an insufficient number of prospective randomized trials which compare del Nido cardioplegia with the Bretschneider-HTK formula in the adult population.

The described problem will be analyzed at different levels in this prospective, randomised study.

Clinical aspects - del Nido and HTK cardioplegia will be compared in terms of intraoperative and postoperative details such as perfusion details and concentration of cardiac enzymes.

Echocardiographic changes - The next step will be revealing potential echocardiographic changes in cardiac function in short- and long-term observations after cardiac surgery.

Metabolic changes - the metabolic profile of amino acids and nucleotide changes after each cardioplegia solution delivery will be analyzed.

Statistical calculations will be performed by a qualified statistician. In the case of binary variables, Fisher's exact test will be used to assess differences between groups. In the case of quantitative variables, the compliance of the distribution with the normal distribution will be tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test. For quantitative variables with a distribution not significantly different from normal, the Student's t-test will be used for comparison between groups. If the distribution differs significantly from the normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test (comparisons of two samples) or the Kruskal-Wallis test (comparisons of many samples) will be used. Correlations between variables will be assessed using the Pearson or Spearman method, depending on the distribution of the variables. Repeated-measures ANOVA will be used to assess the variability of biochemical parameters over time.

In all analyses, p\<0.05 will be considered as the level of statistical significance.

A comparison of the two cardioplegia solutions would allow assessing whether del Nido provides better cardioprotection than HTK.

del Nido cardioplegia group

A group of patients that received high potassium cardioplegic solution with the addition of lidocaine, mixed with the patient's blood in 4:1 ratio

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Del Nido Cardioplegia Solution

Intervention Type DRUG

The route of cardioplegia delivery differed according to surgeons' preferences. The total dosage of cardioplegia depends on the type of cardioplegia. The standard dose of del Nido cardioplegia in our institution is 1000 ml as an initial dose and is delivered with a system pressure of 90-150 mmHg. The solution is prepared by our hospital's pharmacy. At 60. minute of cross-clamp (XC) if XC time was expected to exceed 90 minutes another dose of solution would be delivered. The volume of an additional dose was 500 ml. The temperature of the delivered del Nido cardioplegia was 4\*C.

Bretschneider-HTK cardioplegia group

A group of patients that received low sodium cardioplegic solution with the addition of histidine, tryptophan and alpha-ketoglutarate

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

HTK solution

Intervention Type DRUG

The route of cardioplegia delivery differed according to surgeons' preferences. The dose of the HTK cardioplegia is calculated with an application of 20 mL/kg rule. It is delivered with a system pressure of 90-150 mmHg. If the XC time exceeds 120 minutes additional dose is given (10 mL/kg rule). The temperature of the delivered crystalloid cardioplegia is 4\*C
