Inflammatory response and hemodilution are the main drawbacks of extracorporeal
circulation. We hypothesize that the use of miniaturized extracorporeal circulation (MECC) …

OBJECTIVE: This prospective randomized study sought to verify the systemic inflammatory
response, inflammatory myocardial damage, and early clinical outcome in coronary surgery …

OBJECTIVES Both off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (OPCABG) and mini-
extracorporeal circulation (MECC) have been associated with lower morbidity and mortality …

Background—We aimed to evaluate the clinical results and biocompatibility of the minimal
extracorporeal circulation system (MECC) compared with off-pump coronary …

Objective: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is known to cause part of the systemic
inflammatory reaction after cardiac surgery that can be responsible for organ failure. A novel …

Objectives Mini-extracorporeal circulation (MECC) units were developed to reduce
postoperative morbidity, transfusion requirements, and inflammation associated with …

Objectives. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of the minimal extracorporeal
circulation (MiECT) on postoperative systemic inflammatory response and the need for …

Background: Current research is engaged in innovative technologies of extracorporeal
circulation (ECC) systems in an effort to eliminate negative effetcs. Some studies have …

OBJECTIVES To reduce the complications associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
during cardiac surgery, many modifications have been made to conventional extracorporeal …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the early systemic inflammatory response of
the Resting Heart System (RHS; Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN USA), a miniaturized …
