“Intracoronary levosimendan in neonatal cardiac surgery: a retrospective study on hemodynamic effects and catecholamine-sparing outcomes”
Intracoronary administration of levosimendan during neonatal cardiac surgery appears to reduce catecholamine dependence and support myocardial recovery without causing rhythm disturbances or hypotension. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.
