Atrial versus ventricular cannulation for a rotary ventricular assist device.

abstract：:Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a nonphysiologic environment for an organism. The damage of blood components may also lead to organ dysfunction, some-times recognized as postperfusion syndrome. One possible way to diminish the risk of these complications would be to reduce the thorombogenicity and to improve the bioco...
