Abstract Clotting, anticoagulation, platelet consumption, and poor platelet function are major factors in clinical extracorporeal circulation (ECC). We have shown that nitric oxide-releasing (NOReL) coatings prevent thrombosis in a rabbit..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Low cardiac output syndrome and the systemic inflammatory response are consequences of the cardiac surgical perioperative course. The mechanisms responsible are multifactorial, but recent studies have shown that nitric..
