Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Does Not Reduce Lymphocyte Activation
In this study, we test the hypothesis that off-pump coronary bypass surgery might result in less lymphocyte activation than on-pump coronary surgery.

Novel Application of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging for Real-Time Detection of Thrombus in A Membrane Oxygenator.
Under ICG imaging, the inside of the oxygenator was observed as a white area. A black dot suspected to be the thrombus appeared 6-8 hours after measurement initiation. The thrombus and the black dot on ICG imaging were finely matched in terms of morphology. Thus, we succeeded in real-time thrombus detection in an oxygenator using ICG imaging. The combined use of ICG imaging and conventional routine screening tests could compensate for each other's weaknesses and significantly improve the safety of ECMO.
