Objective: Closed circuit extracorporeal circulation (CCECC) has been developed to reduce
deleterious effects of standard cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study compares the …

BACKGROUND: Minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC) is a promising perfusion
technology, taking the advantage of an ECC while having a significantly reduced priming …

Objectives: Although minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC) and off-pump surgery are
equal or better alternatives to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CCPB) regarding …

BACKGROUND: Drawbacks of conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are increased
inflammatory response, deteriorated coagulation and systemic organ dysfunction. A closed …

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery bypass surgery employing minimal extracorporeal
circulation (MECC) was compared with standard extracorporeal circulation (ECC) and off …

Objective: Minimal extracorporeal circulation (mini-ECC) is a new technology, consisting of a
centrifugal pump, an oxygenator, and a modified suction system. The main advantage of …

OBJECTIVE Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard for complex
revascularisation in multivessel disease. The concept of the minimally invasive …

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 …

PURPOSE: Inflammation and coagulation disturbances are common consequences of
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Recently, miniaturized closed CPB circuits without …

BACKGROUND: To assess the potential benefits of a new concept of cardiopulmonary
bypass (CPB), the mini-extracorporeal circulation (MECC) Jostra System, we conducted a …
