Sutureless prosthesis for failed small Mitroflow valves: the Perceval-after-Mitroflow procedure.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:In cardiac surgery, adequate heparinization is necessary to prevent thrombus formation in the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). To counteract the heparin effect after weaning from CPB, protamine is administered. The optimal protamine/heparin ratio is still unknown. METHODS:In this before-after study, we evaluat...
