Development Of A New Cytokine Adsorption Filter Device For Cardiopulmonary Bypass – Principals And Application (EP Video)

Six-Years Survival and Predictors of Mortality After CABG Using Cold Versus Warm Blood Cardioplegia in Elective and Emergent Settings

The aim of this study was to determine whether intermittent warm blood cardioplegia (IWC) is associated with comparable myocardial protection compared to cold blood cardioplegia (ICC) in patients undergoing elective vs. emergent CABG procedures.

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.

Ultrasound Destruction of Air Microemboli as a Novel Approach to Brain Protection in Cardiac Surgery

Ultrasound destruction of air emboli is a very efficient method to reduce number and size of emboli.
