Use of (All-Blood) Miniplegia Versus Crystalloid Cardioplegia in an Experimental Model of Acute Myocardial Ischemia
Several methods of myocardial protection have been used. The use of all-blood solutions modified with glutamate and aspartate has increased. Its use in situations of acute ischemia provides improved contractile function, "resuscitating" the previously lesioned muscle. The dilution preconized by literature is around 25% of the hematocrit. The present study evaluates an all-blood cardioplegia solution with tepid 1% dilution, denominated miniplegia.

Blood Cell Adhesion to Arterial Filters Analysis by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Real-Time PCR Assay: Observational Clinical Study in Cardiac Surgery Patients
There was adhesion of blood elements, especially nucleated platelets, on all arterial filters studied. Although the arterial filter worked as a safety device, that possibly prevented arterial embolisation, it may also have caused greater hyperfibrinolysis during cardiopulmonary bypass.
