Conditions

Cardioplegia, Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), Perioperative Myocardial Injury

Brief summary

This study seek to compare two different solutions used to protect the heart during cardiac surgery. 40 adult patients planned for coronary artery bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass machine assistance will be included in the study. Blood samples from the first 48 hours after surgery will be analyzed together with physical data, x-ray-results, ecg and general outcome after surgery.

Interventions

DRUGModified Buckberg cardioplegic solution

Study subjects randomized to this study group will receive Modified Buckberg cardioplegic solution during coronary artery bypass grafting operation.

DRUGModified St Thomas´ cardioplegic solution

Study subjects randomized to this study group will receive Modified St Thomas hospital´s cardioplegic solution during coronary artery bypass grafting operation.
