Circulating Particles During Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study was to characterize the occurrence of these particles at different stages of the operation, and to study their occurrence in the circulation at multiple time-points after the retransfusion of shed blood.
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Induced Pulsatile Perfusion Reduces Endothelial Activation and Inflammatory Response Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)-induced pulsatile perfusion has demonstrated that it can preserve organ function during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We evaluated the role of IABP pulsatile perfusion on endothelial response.
