The Least of 3 Evils: Exposure to Red Blood Cell Transfusion, Anemia, or Both?
We aimed to clarify the effects of anemia, transfusion, and their combination to identify which imposes the greatest risk of end-organ dysfunction and mortality.
Arterial Grafting and Complete Revascularization: Challenge or Compromise?
Complete revascularization with arterial grafts presents both technical and physiological challenges.
Investigation of Risks for Cerebral Embolism Associated with the Hemodynamics of Cardiopulmonary Bypass Cannula: A Numerical Model
Current findings support the significant impact of the cannula design and orientation on emboli generation and distribution.

Ultrasound destruction of air emboli is a very efficient method to reduce number and size of emboli.
Aortic Outflow Cannula Tip Design and Orientation Impacts Cerebral Perfusion during Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass Procedures
Altering the cannula tip to include a diffuser cone angle has been shown for the first time to have potential in ensuring a net positive outflow at the BCA.
The Impact of Continuous Haemofiltration with High-Volume Fluid Exhange during Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery on the Recovery of Patients with Impaired Renal Function: A Pilot Randomised Trial
There was an overall trend towards reduction in the length of ICU stay for patients who were given intraoperative haemofiltration, more so for those with diabetes.
