Carotid artery blood flow velocities during open-heart surgery and its association with delirium

Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Produce Concordant Improvements in Regional Function, Tissue Perfusion, and Fibrotic Burden When Administered to Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improve LV structure and function through several effects including reducing fibrosis, neoangiogenesis, and neomyogenesis

Coronary Artery Bypass With the Use of a Magnetic Distal Anastomotic Device: Surgical Technique and Preliminary Experience

The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of using the Ventrica magnetic vascular positioner (MVP) device for left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary anastomosis.

Influence of Venous Drainage and Hemofiltration on Hypercirculatory Instability After High Volume Crystalloid Cardioplegia During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

This prospective study was undertaken in order to investigate the impact of the systemic infusion of high volume crystalloid cardioplegia on the incidence of hypercirculatory instability and inflammatory mediator release in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
