RESUMO
Some damage to the capillaries and increase in myocardial edema have been shown when retrograde cardioplegia perfusion pressure exceeds 40–50 mmHg, or possibly when it falls within this pressure interval. To avoid these complications, we designed a very simple delivery method for retrograde cardioplegia: passive continuous infusion by gravitational force alone.
