Left Ventricular Function and Chronotropic Responses After Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass With Intermittent Antegrade Warm Blood Cardioplegia in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Recent studies indicate that normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia (IAWBC) may have metabolic and clinical advantages, but limited data exist on its effects on myocardial function.
Effect of Peri-Operative Red Blood Cell Transfusion on 30-Day and 1-Year Mortality Following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of peri-operative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on 30-day and 1-year mortality following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Arch Repair With Unilateral Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion
