Hemodynamic Changes During Posterior Vessel Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass: Comparison Between Deep Pericardial Sutures and Vacuum-Assisted Apical Suction Device
Displacement of the heart using either a deep pericardial suture technique or a vacuum-assisted apical suction device caused a significant decrease in SVI. The hemodynamic changes during OM grafting were smaller when using a vacuum-assisted apical suction device.

A Review of Anti-Inflammatory Strategies in Cardiac Surgery
The overall conclusion is that although certain strategies reduce plasma levels of inflammatory mediators, convincing evidence of significant clinical benefits is yet to come.

Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury Activates Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Human Heart
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate matrix remodelling in the heart and play a pivotal role in myocardial dysfunction immediately following ischaemia-reperfusion injury ex vivo in rats.
Relationship Between Cerebral Injury and Inflammatory Responses in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
In conclusion, it is considered that ghrelin as well as S-100B can be a useful marker for the prediction of stoke after CPB. Increase of TNF-alpha, interleukin-10 and soluble TNF-receptor I after CPB may be involved in the pathogenesis of stroke after CPB.
Controversial Significance of Early S100B Levels After Cardiac Surgery
We conclude that the clinical value of S100B as a predictive measurement of postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery is limited.
Leucocyte Depletion During Cardiac Surgery: A Comparison of Different Filtration Strategies
However, our laboratory results suggest that leucocyte filtration at low flow and pressure conditions is associated with less leucocyte damage and less release of elastase.

The Impact of Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Disease on the Intraoperative Course of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Although CAS does not appear to be the major source of cerebral ischemia, it involves significant comorbidity.
