Treating Heart Failure With Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP): Design of the Prospective Evaluation of EECP in Heart Failure (PEECH) Trial
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) treatment can improve exercise tolerance in patients with ischemic heart disease; however, the possible benefits of EECP in patients with stable heart failure (HF) and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) are unclear.

Characteristic Changes in Cerebral Perfusion During On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Surgery
We investigated the cerebral perfusion status during on-pump or off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Attenuates Proinflammatory Markers
The aim of this study was to compare surrogate markers of the proinflammatory response in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with or without CPB.
Enhanced External Counterpulsation: A New Technique to Augment Renal Function in Liver Cirrhosis
We investigated whether EECP would improve renal dysfunction of liver cirrhosis.

Activation of Neutrophils and Monocytes by a Leukocyte-Depleting Filter Used Throughout Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We studied the effects of a leukocyte-depleting filter on phagocyte activation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Surgical Trauma Affects the Proinflammatory Status After Cardiac Surgery to a Higher Degree Than Cardiopulmonary Bypass
To quantify the contribution of bypass-induced versus trauma-induced inflammatory response after coronary artery bypass grafting, we examined plasma cytokine levels in 120 patients with coronary artery disease who were treated with or without cardiopulmonary bypass-assisted procedures.
Activation of Neutrophils and Monocytes by a Leukocyte-Depleting Filter Used Throughout Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We studied the effects of a leukocyte-depleting filter on phagocyte activation during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Large Bolus Dose vs. Continuous Infusion of Cisatracurium During Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
We investigated whether a high bolus dose of cisatracurium (8x ED95) given at induction can provide muscle relaxation for the major part of a cardiac procedure with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, avoid important postoperative residual curarization and cause no waste of product.
