The Future of Perfusion Summary

What does the future of perfusion hold?

For many perfusionists this question seems to be looming more imminently than ever before.  New medical advances, in particular OP-CABGs (off-pump bypass surgery aided by myocardial stabilization devices) seem to be threatening to significantly decrease the need for cardiopulmonary perfusion at many institutions around the world.  Will these current trends continue or will data eventually prove that these methods are not as effective as conventional bypass surgery?  While no one can answer this question definitively, we can look into some factors that might give us some insight.  This page is dedicated to providing you with that information, so we can all be better prepared for the future of perfusion.
