The GP IIb/IIIa Inhibitor Abciximab (ReoPro((R))) Decreases Activation and Interaction of Platelets and Leukocytes During In Vitro Cardiopulmonary Bypass Simulation
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor abciximab (ReoPro((R))) on the function and interaction of platelets and leukocytes during experimental CPB.
Post-Reperfusion Changes of Monocyte Function in Coronary Blood After Extracorporeal Circulation
Knowledge of mechanisms underlying monocyte functional modulation in coronary blood may be useful to develop protective interventions that can limit ischemia/reperfusion injury.
Effect of Peri-Operative Red Blood Cell Transfusion on 30-Day and 1-Year Mortality Following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of peri-operative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on 30-day and 1-year mortality following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Arch Repair With Unilateral Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion
This study demonstrates the clinical results of aortic arch repair with unilateral cerebral perfusion via the right brachial artery.
Autologous Preparations Rich in Growth Factors Promote Proliferation and Induce VEGF and HGF Production by Human Tendon Cells in Culture
Our goal was to evaluate the potential beneficial effect of proteins released from platelet-rich clots on tendon healing.
Propofol Attenuates Lung Endothelial Injury Induced by Ischemia-Reperfusion and Oxidative Stress
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the anesthetic propofol, which has antioxidant properties, to prevent oxidative lung injury by measuring ACE shedding.

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Similar After On-Pump and Off-Pump CABG
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic function improvement after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is similar regardless of whether the patient undergoes surgery on-pump or off-pump, according to a report in the March 1st issue of The American Journal of Cardiology.
