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.

Modulation of Wound Response and Soft Tissue Ingrowth in Synthetic and Allogeneic Implants With Platelet Concentrate
Platelet gel made from autologous platelet concentrate (PC) and activated with calcium thrombin is increasingly used to enhance healing of surgical and chronic wounds, based on the assumption that proteins found in the blood can promote healing.
Platelet Lysates Promote Mesenchymal Stem Cell Expansion: A Safety Substitute for Animal Serum in Cell-Based Therapy Applications
Therefore, because platelets are a natural source of growth factors, we sought to investigate in vitro MSC expansion in response to platelet lysates (PL) obtained from platelet-rich plasma.
Preoperative Aspirin Administration Improves Oxygenation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the time of cessation of aspirin before coronary artery bypass surgery, and postoperative oxygenation and bleeding.
Use of Recombinant Activated Factor VII for Bleeding Following Operations Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Therapy with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) may be an effective treatment strategy for patients with refractory bleeding.
Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Promote Remodeling of Autologous Bone Grafts Used for Augmentation of the Maxillary Sinus Floor?
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on remodeling of autologous bone grafts used […]
