Assessment of Hemostatic Activation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With Bivalirudin: Results of a Pilot Study
This study was conducted to assess the effects of the currently suggested protocol for bivalirudin on hemostatic activation during cardiopulmonary bypass with and without cardiotomy suction.

A Systematic Approach to the Understanding and Redesigning of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We developed a system to capture and study detailed information during cardiac surgery that serves as a framework for understanding variation that occurs during CPB. The system allows the surgical team to link unwanted variation (ie, hypotension) and unwanted events (ie, the production of microemboli) to the processes of care.
The Effect of Extracorporeal Life Support on the Brain: Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This article reviews the mechanisms of brain injury associated with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Glucose and Insulin Influences on Heart and Brain in Cardiac Surgery
GIK may therefore serve to protect the myocardium and promote adequate cardiac and hemodynamic performance that would improve patient recovery.
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Does Not Reduce Lymphocyte Activation
In this study, we test the hypothesis that off-pump coronary bypass surgery might result in less lymphocyte activation than on-pump coronary surgery.
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Does Not Reduce Lymphocyte Activation
In this study, we test the hypothesis that off-pump coronary bypass surgery might result in less lymphocyte activation than on-pump coronary surgery.
Use of Recombinant Activated Factor VII for Bleeding Following Operations Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Therapy with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) may be an effective treatment strategy for patients with refractory bleeding.
Preoperative Aspirin Administration Improves Oxygenation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the time of cessation of aspirin before coronary artery bypass surgery, and postoperative oxygenation and bleeding.
Expanding the Donor Pool: Use of Renal Transplants From Non-Heart-Beating Donors Supported With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Expanding the donor pool: use of renal transplantats from non-heart-beating donors supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Myocardium Utilizes More Oxygen and Glucose During Tepid Blood Cardioplegic Infusion in Arrested Heart
The aims of this study were to evaluate myocardial metabolic activity during tepid blood cardioplegic infusion in the arrested heart in comparision with cold blood cardioplegia and to assess the early clinical outcomes of these patients.
Risk Factors for Prolonged ICU Stay in Patients Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With a Long Duration of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Therefore we examined immediate postoperative risk factors for prolonged ICU stay after CABG with a long duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
