Abstract Objective: Coronary artery bypass grafting using cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest is an effective treatment for coronary artery disease. Research suggests supplementing the cardioplegia solution with propofol may be..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass is widely used in cardiac surgery but often leads to lung ischemia–reperfusion injury, a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in critical care, effective..
