Microcirculatory Response to Blood vs. Crystalloid Cardioplegia During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Background: Blood cardioplegia attenuates cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced systemic inflammatory response in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, which may favorably influence the microvascular system in this cohort. The aim of this study was to investigate whether blood cardioplegia would offer...
