Initial Experience of an Automated Anastomotic Distal Device in Off-Pump CABG
We assessed the feasibility of the automated anastomotic distal device (AADD) on arterial grafts in patients who underwent off-pump CABG (OPCAB) and evaluated the early anastomotic patency and clinical results of the AADD based on an elliptical nitinol ring with attached 8 pins.
Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Abnormalities following Off-Pump Cardiac Surgery
The objective of this study was to determine the rate of DW-MRI detection of brain lesions following off-pump CABG.
Early Experience With Activated Recombinant Factor VII for Intractable Hemorrhage After Cardiovascular Surgery
. We report our experience with the use of activated recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) as rescue therapy for patients with refractory postoperative hemorrhage.

Cognitive Outcomes Three Years After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Comparison of On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Nonsurgical Controls
We compared changes in cognitive performance from baseline to 3 years in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with those of a control group of patients with known risk factors for coronary artery disease but without surgery.
Nafamostat Preserves Neutrophil Deformability and Reduces Microaggregate Formation During Simulated Extracorporeal Circulation
The study assesses the inhibitory effects of nafamostat mesilate on neutrophil and platelet activation, and on the neutrophil deformability change and microaggregate formation during simulated extracorporeal circulation.
pH-Stat Versus alpha-Stat Acid-Base Management Strategy During Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest Combined With Embolic Brain Injury
We investigated this possible adverse effect in an experimental model that combined hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and embolic brain injury.
Does Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion Protect the Brain During Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest?
This study compares cerebral protection using no cerebroplegia and using antegrade cerebroplegia with variable flow rates during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA).
Gastrointestinal Complications in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The present study was performed to detect risk factors and to investigate outcomes following GICs after CABG.
Experimental Study on Myocardial Protection by Adjunct Use of Carperitide (hANP) in Cardiac Surgery
In recent years, various beneficial roles of human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) have been demonstrated in the internal medicine and surgical fields.
