Avoidance of Coronary Sinus Injury During Retrograde Cardioplegia.
Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2016 December
Coronary sinus injury is a rare but critical complication of retrograde cardioplegia. Even after detection, successful repair with a pericardial patch is not always attained. Malalignment of the infusion cannula relative to the coronary sinus is likely to be partially responsible for the injury. Monitoring the location of the cannula tip can help prevent injury. Transesophageal echocardiography can indicate the vascular structure within which the cannula is located. This finding may be useful in preventing injury to the coronary sinus or middle cardiac vein.
