Randomized Trial of Miniaturized versus Standard Extracorporeal Circulation in Aortic Valve Surgery
ConclusionsThis study is the first randomized controlled trial comparing MiECC and an advanced system for aortic valve replacement with blood loss as primary endpoint. We conclude that using MiECC is clinically equal for short- and long term follow up regarding blood loss. Trial registration number: NTR3378.
