Right atrial cardioplegia has been advocated as a simple method of delivering retrograde cardioplegia. Passive distention of the right heart inherent with right atrial cardioplegia has been shown to impair right ventricular function in a canine model of global ischemia. This study was designed to compare right ventricular performance after right atrial cardioplegia administered intermittently (n = 5) and continuously (n = 5) with coronary sinus retrograde cardioplegia (n = 5) and aortic root cardioplegia (n = 8) in a canine model of acute right ventricular ischemia and reperfusion. Right ventricular performance was assessed using the load-independent relationship of end-systolic pressure versus dimension (myocardial fiber length). Right ventricular performance was well preserved after reperfusion in those dogs protected with intermittent right atrial cardioplegia (95% of control). Results with continuous right atrial cardioplegia (66% of control) and coronary sinus retrograde cardioplegia (40% of control) demonstrated diminished postreperfusion right ventricular performance. Right ventricular performance in the group protected with aortic root cardioplegia was significantly impaired after reperfusion when compared with all retrograde groups (34% of control, p less than 0.05). In this model, postreperfusion right ventricular performance was preserved in the right atrial cardioplegia groups despite passive ventricular distention. All methods of retrograde cardioplegia resulted in superior preservation of right ventricular performance when compared with standard aortic root cardioplegia.

D015425 Myocardial Reperfusion Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.

D015428 Myocardial Reperfusion Injury Damage to the MYOCARDIUM resulting from MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION (restoration of blood flow to ischemic areas of the HEART.) Reperfusion takes place when there is spontaneous thrombolysis, THROMBOLYTIC THERAPY, collateral flow from other coronary vascular beds, or reversal of vasospasm.
