Myocardial Protection via the Coronary Sinus during Surgery

No other coronary sinus intervention has influenced standard daily routine. The ease of application of retrograde cardioplegia has saved many lifes and improved surgical outcome. This book gives an overview on the early days of this intervention and sheds light on the fundamentals of retrograde cardioplegia. It shows convincingly that parts of the myocardium cannot be reached by the retrograde approach and that the application has its limits. One should not forget the roots of an daily used intervention to avoid problems and complications.
