Association Between Lactates, Blood Glucose, and Systemic Oxygen Delivery in Children After Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Intraoperative and Postoperative Variables Associated With Strokes Following Cardiac Surgery

After we adjusted for preoperative factors, postoperative atrial fibrillation and increasing duration of cardiopulmonary bypass remained significant predictors of embolic and hypoperfusion strokes, although to differing degrees.

Clampless Technique during Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Proximal Anastomoses in the Hostile Aorta

We have found that clampless fibrillating heart surgery with circulatory arrest for proximal anastomoses is a safe and effective technique for revascularizing patients with significant ascending aortic disease who are at high risk for cerebral embolic complications.
