Abstract
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has been evolving, with the intention of reducing surgical
trauma, improve cosmesis and patient satisfaction. Single dose, crystalloid cardioplegia such as
Del Nido cardioplegia and Custodiol® solution have been increasingly used to reduce the
interruption from repeating cardioplegia dosing to minimise the cardiopulmonary bypass and
cross clamp time. However, the best cardioplegia for myocardial protection in adult minimally
invasive cardiac surgery remains controversial. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to
analyse the current evidence in the literature.
