Fetal myocardial protection is markedly improved by reduced cardioplegic calcium content.
Ann Thorac Surg. 2003; (6): 1937-41
Fetal cardiac surgery holds a clear therapeutic benefit in the treatment of lesions that increase in complexity due to pathologic blood flow patterns during development. Fetal and neonatal myocardial physiology differ substantially, particularly in the regulation of myocardial calcium concentration. To examine issues of calcium homeostasis and fetal myocardial protection, a novel isolated biventricular working fetal heart preparation was developed.
