Subcutaneous tissue oxygen tension after coronary revascularisation with and without cardiopulmonary bypass.

abstract：:The biocompatibility of minimal extracorporeal circuits has improved; however, anticoagulation is still required. We compared standard high-dose anticoagulation with a low-dose heparin regimen in a retrospective study of patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery using minimal cardiopulmonary bypass. One hundred p...
