Perioperative Monitoring of Primary and Secondary Hemostasis in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
To evaluate the PFA performance in perioperative monitoring, a study was performed in 49 patients selected for low bleeding risk undergoing selective primary coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Effects of Autotransfusion of Mediastinal Shed Blood on Biochemical Markers of Myocardial Damage in Coronary Surgery
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of autotransfusion of mediastinal shed blood on the serum levels of CK-MB, cardiac troponin T (cTnT), and H-FABP after uncomplicated primary CABG.
The Effects of Aprotinin and Tranexamic Acid on Thrombin Generation and Fibrinolytic Response After Cardiac Surgery
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of aprotinin and tranexamic acid on thrombin generation and fibrinolytic activity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Microvessel Angiogenesis: A Possible Cardioprotective Mechanism of External Counterpulsation for Canine Myocardial Infarction
It has been proposed that the beneficial effects of EECP observed in clinical studies may be due to the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and collateral development.
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Inhibits Demineralized Bone Matrix-Induced Intramuscular Cartilage and Bone Formation. A Study of Immunocompromised Mice
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of PDGF on the ability of human demineralized bone matrix to induce bone formation in a nude-mouse muscle-implantation model.

Diabetes in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Impact on Perioperative Outcome
Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor related to significant morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting.
The Geat Britain and Ireland Perspective: Current Perfusion Safety Issues, Preparing for the Future
This paper focuses on the importance of careful assessment, implementation and documentation when a new component or technique is being introduced to the CPB circuit, even when the aim is to increase safety.

Randomized Comparison Between Normothermic and Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Pediatric Open-Heart Surgery
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) temperature on myocardial reperfusion injury, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in pediatric open heart surgery.
The Impact of Slow Rewarming on Inotropy, Tissue Metabolism, and “After Drop” of Body Temperature in Pediatric Patients
Therefore, this study was performed to build a rewarming strategy aiming to improve the cardiac performance, minimize the early after-drop in both core and foot temperatures, and to achieve early achievement of homeostasis.
