The influence of gaseous microemboli on various biomarkers after minimized cardiopulmonary bypass.

CONCLUSION: This study showed no evidence that gaseous microemboli contribute to increased biomarker levels after coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass. A reason for the absence of damage by gaseous microemboli may be the relative and considerably small amount of gaseous microemboli entering the patients in this study.
