Shear Stress Associated with Cardiopulmonary Bypass Induces Expression of Inflammatory Cytokines and Necroptosis In Monocytes

The Proper Delivery Pressure for Cardioplegic Solution in Neonatal Cardiac Surgery – An Investigation of Biomechanical and Structural Properties of Neonatal and Adult Coronary Arteries

When cardioplegic solution is injected into coronary arteries with a pump in order to ensure myocardial protection, it is necessary to determine the correct delivery pressure to avoid damage of the heart.

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.
