Clinical Evaluation of Poly(2-Methoxyethylacrylate) in Primary Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Poly(2-methoxyethylacrylate) (PMEA, X-coating) is a new polymer coating used in the ECC.
Is Platelet Function as Measured by Thrombelastograph Monitoring in Whole Blood Affected by Platelet Inhibitors?
Platelet inhibitors, especially the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing the acute ischemic complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and in improving clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary crisis.

Accuracy of Temperature Measurement in the Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the temperature thermistors used in the Terumo Capiox SX25 oxygenator and to compare the temperature measured at the outlet of the oxygenator using the Capiox CX*TL Luer Thermistor with temperatures measured at distal sites.
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.
