Protective effect of hyaluronidase after long-term aortic cross-clamping: initial experimental observations.
This work studies the effect of hyaluronidase on myocardium subjected to long-term aortic cross-clamping (three hours) and moderate hypothermia (28 degrees C). Animals receiving hyaluronidase (1,00o U per liter) through the root of the aorta with a procaine-potassium chloride-lasmalyte cardioplegic solution showed better functional, electrical, and morphological response than the untreated animals. These findings, although preliminary, appear to be promising for potential clinical application.
