Celsior® is an organ preservation solution used for the harvesting and the preservation of solid organs. Its use as a crystalloid cardioplegia solution has been established recently. Its main advantage is the long duration of myocardial protection. Compared to the other cardioplegia solutions, it allows a reduced amount of solution administered during the surgery and fewer interruptions during the intervention for the administration of supplemental doses of cardioplegia for long and complex operations. The objective of this register is to compare the safety and the efficacy of Celsior® to the old cardioplegia solution Saint-Thomas used as cardioplegia solution in surgery of the transposition of great vessels, the arterial switch operation.
