Acadesine 42 mg/kg diluted in normal saline to a total of 500 mL, delivered as an IV infusion over approximately 7 hours commencing within approximately 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia at a rate of 0.1 mg/kg/min (translating into 1.2 mL/min for a 500 mL solution). In addition, a 5 µg/mL cardioplegia solution of acadesine will be administered, and acadesine will be added to the priming solution (5 µg/mL) in the heart lung machine during CPB.

Normal saline, 500 mL delivered as an IV infusion over approximately 7 hours commencing within approximately 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia at a rate of 1.2 mL/min for a 500 mL solution.
