Leukocyte Filter Enhances Neutrophil Activation during Combined Aortic Valve and Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to evaluate the impact of continuous leukocyte filtration on the perioperative expression of neutrophil adhesion molecules along with the markers of systemic inflammation during combined coronary artery revascularization and aortic valve surgery due to aortic stenosis.
