Leucocyte Depletion During Cardiac Surgery: A Comparison of Different Filtration Strategies

Prolonged Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation-Assisted Support Provides Improved Survival in Hypothermic Patients with Cardiocirculatory Arrest

aim of this study was to evaluate whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-assisted resuscitation improves survival in patients with hypothermic cardiac arrest.

Neuroprotective Effect of Mild Hypothermia in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Five-Year Follow-up of a Randomized Trial

In a randomized trial of 223 patients undergoing coronary artery surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, we have reported a neuroprotective effect of mild hypothermia. To determine whether the beneficial effect of mild hypothermia was long-lasting, we repeated the psychometric tests in 131 patients after 5 years.

Systemic Inflammation After On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Bypass Surgery: A One-Month Follow-Up

This study sought to assess inflammation activation in the follow-up (up to one month) of coronary bypass surgery performed both on- (CABG) and off-pump (OPCAB).
