Warm versus cold cardioplegia in cardiac surgery: A meta-analysis with trial sequential analysisCentral MessagePerspective

Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to compare clinical outcomes of warm and cold cardioplegia in cardiac surgeries in adult patients, with trial sequential analysis (TSA) used to determine the conclusiveness of the results. Methods: Electronic searches were performed on PubMed, Medline, Scopus, EMB...

description Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to compare clinical outcomes of warm and cold cardioplegia in cardiac surgeries in adult patients, with trial sequential analysis (TSA) used to determine the conclusiveness of the results. Methods: Electronic searches were performed on PubMed, Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane library to identify all studies that compared warm and cold cardioplegia in cardiac surgeries. Primary end points were in-hospital or 30-day mortality, myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome, intra-aortic balloon pump use, stroke, and new atrial fibrillation. Secondary end points were acute kidney injury, hospital length of stay, and intensive care unit length of stay. Prespecified subgroup analyses were performed for (1) studies published since publication of Fan and colleagues in 2010, (2) randomized controlled studies, (3) studies with low risk of bias, (4) coronary artery bypass graft surgeries, and (5) studies with cold blood versus those with cold crystalloid cardioplegia. TSA was performed to determine conclusiveness of the results, using on all outcomes without significant heterogeneity from studies of low risk of bias. Results: No significant differences were found between post-operative rates of mortality, myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome, intra-aortic balloon pump use, stroke, new atrial fibrillation, and acute kidney injury between warm and cold cardioplegia. TSA concluded that current evidence was sufficient to rule out a 20% relative risk reduction in these outcomes. Conclusions: Concerning safety outcomes, current evidence suggests that the choice between warm and cold cardioplegia remains in the surgeon's preference.
