Miniaturized Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Marginal Impact on Inflammation and Coagulation but Loss of Safety Margins
We compared outcomes with conventional (CCPB) and miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB) after coronary artery bypass operations (CABG) with respect to inflammation and coagulation.
Cerebral Microembolization During Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery With the Symmetry Aortic Connector Device
The objective of this study was to asses whether use of a Symmetry connector (St Jude Medical, Inc, St Paul, Minn) reduced intraoperative cerebral embolization.

Miniaturized Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Marginal Impact on Inflammation and Coagulation but Loss of Safety Margins
We compared outcomes with conventional (CCPB) and miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB) after coronary artery bypass operations (CABG) with respect to inflammation and coagulation.
Preoperative Cerebral Ischemic Lesions Predict Physical Health Status After On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
We studied the predictive ability of cerebral magnetic resonance imaging of preoperative and postoperative cerebral ischemic injury on self-reported physical and mental health at 3 months after coronary artery bypass surgery with or without use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Maxilla Sinus Grafting With Marine Algae Derived Bone Forming Material: A Clinical Report of Long-Term Results
Histomorphometric evaluations of graft materials show how much new bone is formed and if the graft material is resorbed.
Sternal Wound Complications in Bilateral Internal Thoracic Artery Grafting: A Comparison of the Off-Pump Technique and Conventional Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this study was to assess whether avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass has beneficial effects with fewer wound complications in patients receiving bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting.
Transcriptomic and Proteomic Patterns of Systemic Inflammation in On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) provides controlled operative conditions but induces a whole-body inflammatory response capable of initiating devastating morbidity and mortality.
Acute Changes in Circulating Hormones in Older Patients With Impaired Ventricular Function Undergoing On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes an acute stress response characterized by changes in the levels of several hormones, which might play a role in the high complication rate experienced by older patients after CABG.
Cardiac Surgery in Octogenarians: A Six-Year Follow-up With a Multidimensional Intervention
The aim of this study was to investigate outcomes of older (age > or =80 years) cardiac surgery patients managed with multicomponent intervention.
End-point Temperature of Rewarming After Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Pediatric Patients
In conclusion, with the restoration of rectal temperature above 35.5 degrees C at the end of CPB in pediatric patients, the present study found no afterdrop.
Low Hematocrit During Cardiopulmonary Bypass is Associated With Increased Risk of Perioperative Stroke in Cardiac Surgery
The objective of this observational study was to evaluate the relationship between nadir hematocrit during CPB and perioperative stroke while adjusting for variables known to have an association with stroke and anemia.
