Retrograde coronary sinus perfusion for the administration of cardioplegic solutions has recently been the subject of renewed interest. A method is described for the administration of bolus antegrade cardioplegia followed by continuous retrograde coronary sinus perfusion, particularly for patients with left main artery disease, left main equivalent, or aortic root/aortic valve disease. Advantages of the technique are discussed, as well as its limitations and its use for myocardial preservation in heart transplantation.
