Abstract

Experience of myocardium defence while correcting Ebstein anomaly in 75 patients was analyzed. In 25 patients antegrade pharmacorefrigerating crystalloid cardioplegia based on potassium chloride was applied, in 10--method of Kirsch using miganesiun-aspartate-procaine solution. In 40 patients antegrade pumping of normothermic potassium chloride solution with subsequent antegrade infusion of cooled magnesium-aspartate-procaine solution applied for primary heart arrest. Application of combined defence of myocardium using normothermal crystalloid cardioplegia and refrigerating, of antegrade infusion of magnesium-asparate-procaine cardioplegic solution has advantages in comparison with another methods of myocardium defence, reduces the threat of an acute cardiac insufficiency occurrence in early postoperative period.
