Role of Terminal Warm Blood Cardioplegia as Myocardial Protection in the Use of Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate Cardioplegia in Complex Congenital Heart Surgery

February 17, 2016 updated by: Pribadi W Busro, MD, National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita Hospital Indonesia
Terminal warm blood cardioplegia (TWBC) has been shown to enhance myocardial protection in adult patients. Even in pediatric patients, the use of cold blood cardioplegia followed by administration of TWBC will provide cardioprotective effect similar to adult patients. Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK), is attractive for cardiac surgeons because it is administered as a single dose and is claimed to offer myocardial protection for a period of up to 180 minutes allowing performance of complex procedures without interruption. Merging the use of TWBC on the use of HTK cardioplegia, especially for pediatric cardiac cases, have not been investigated. This technique is expected to provide a longer ischemic time and a protective effect against reperfusion injury.

Detailed Description

The design of this study is a randomized controlled trial in children younger than 5 years old undergoing heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The objective of this study is to assess the role of TWBC in use of HTK cardioplegia compared with the use of HTK cardioplegia alone in open heart surgery of complex congenital heart disease. This study will be conducted at the National Cardiac Centre Harapan Kita Hospital Indonesia. Surgery will be performed in the operating room of Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery Unit. This study uses non-probability consecutive sampling. The samples are all pediatric patients with complex congenital heart disease who meet the inclusion criteria and not excluded by the exclusion criteria. Patients will be divided into two groups, the treatment group who received HTK cardioplegia and TWBC, and the control group that only received HTK cardioplegia alone. Hearts will be arrested with HTK solution during cardiac operation. HTK cardioplegia will be given through the aortic root at a dose of 50-60 ml/kg after aortic cross-clamped. For the treatment group, TWBC will be given shortly before the aortic cross clamp is removed at a dose of 10 to 15 ml/kg with temperature of 34 to 36 oCelcius. TWBC is a mixture of blood and HTK kardioplegia with a composition of four to one. The outcomes of this study are malondialdehyde as a marker of reperfusion injury due to oxidative stress, caspase-3 as a marker of apoptosis, cTn-I as a marker of myocardial cell damage and the incidence of low cardiac output syndrome.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of Malondialdehyde levels
Time Frame: after induction of anaesthesia, 30 minutes and 4 hours post aortic cross clamp removal
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is the end product of lipid peroxidation by ROS results in a state of oxidative stress, and a marker of the increase in ROS in reperfusion injury. MDA concentration in plasma of patients measured by test methods thiobarbituric acid and spectrophotometric examination.
after induction of anaesthesia, 30 minutes and 4 hours post aortic cross clamp removal
Change of Caspase-3 levels
Time Frame: after induction of anaesthesia, 30 minutes post aortic cross clamp removal
Caspase-3 is a protease, a family of cysteine proteases that act as executor in the process of apoptosis, and is used as a marker of apoptosis. The expression of caspase-3 measured quantitatively by immunohistochemistry using polyclonal antibody method cleaved caspase-3 from myocardial biopsy.
after induction of anaesthesia, 30 minutes post aortic cross clamp removal
Cardiac Troponin I levels
Time Frame: During the first 24 hours after cross clamp removal
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) s a protein involved in the process of contraction of the heart, and is only found in heart cells, which will be released into the blood circulation when heart injury. CTn-I measured with Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay technique. Specimens for measurement of cTnI are from whole blood or serum.
During the first 24 hours after cross clamp removal
Number of patients with low cardiac output syndrome
Time Frame: During the first 48 hours after aortic cross clamp removal
Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is a state in which clinical sign and symptoms of low cardiac output are found with or without the increasing of arterial and venous saturation gap and metabolic acidosis, the use of new inotropic, mechanical support, or other maneuvers in order to increase cardiac output. LCOS is determined by intensivist based on the clinical presentation, laboratory and inotropic scores.
During the first 48 hours after aortic cross clamp removal

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
