Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looked at 80 adults having heart valve or aortic surgery to find out how long a special heart protection solution (Del Nido cardioplegia) keeps the heart safe during surgery. Researchers took blood samples at set times to see when heart injury began. The goal was to learn the exact timing of protection, not to test a new treatment. Risks were low, involving only extra blood draws.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Single-center, tertiary academic cardiovascular surgery service at Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty Hospital (Konya, Türkiye). Consecutive adults (18-80 years) undergoing elective valve and/or thoracic aortic surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamping, in whom Del Nido cardioplegia is used as part of routine care, are screened and, if eligible, approached for written informed consent. Approximately 80 participants are enrolled and followed through the index hospitalization; 30-day outcomes are abstracted from the medical record/standard follow-up. Observational cohort; no randomization; all treatment decisions per usual care.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-80 years * Elective valve surgery (aortic, mitral, tricuspid), thoracic aortic surgery, or combined valve + thoracic aortic procedures * Planned cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with aortic cross-clamp (ACC) * Use of Del Nido cardioplegia per institutional routine * Ability to provide written informed consent (participant or legally authorized representative) Exclusion Criteria: * Isolated CABG or CABG-dominant combined procedures * Redo sternotomy * Emergency status (including shock) or preoperative mechanical circulatory support (IABP or ECMO), or anticipated need for such support * Left ventricular ejection fraction \<35% * Estimated GFR \<45 mL/min/1.73 m² * Moderate-severe chronic lung disease with significant functional limitation, or severe pulmonary hypertension * Active infection/sepsis or active infective endocarditis * Severe hepatic dysfunction, major coagulopathy, or bleeding diathesis * Pregnancy * Deep hypothermia protocols (\<28 °C) * Procedures without ACC * Preoperative cardiac troponin above the laboratory upper reference limit * Any condition that, in the judgment of the treating team, would preclude safe participation or protocol adherence
