Technique and Results for Integration of the Quest MPS All-Blood Cardioplegia Delivery Unit for Modified Ultrafiltration
All blood cardioplegia delivery units offer the advantage of removing additional crystalloid volumes associated with multidose crystalloid or 4:1 blood cardioplegia. Further […]
Soluble ST2 Protein in Cardiac Surgery: A Possible Negative Feedback Loop to Prevent Uncontrolled Inflammatory Reactions
The relation of soluble ST2 and secretion of IL-10, markers of TH2 T-cell activation, and IL-13 in relation to immunoglobulin isotope production is not known in patients undergoing On- versus Off-pump (CABG) procedure.
Pulsatile ECMO in Neonates and Infants: First European Clinical Experience with a New Device
This study presents the first European clinical experience with the Medos DeltaStream DP1, a new pulsatile flow pump, in neonates and infants.

Vacuum-Assisted Venous Drainage during Fetal Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We hypothesized that vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD) would improve drainage and allow perfusion at higher flow rates which are thought to prevent placental dysfunction induced by fetal bypass.
Bivalirudin Anticoagulation for Cardiopulmonary Bypass in a Patient With Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia
To describe the perioperative management in a heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) positive patient who had prosthetic valve endocarditis and an aortic root abscess.
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.
