BACKGROUND:: Gender-related differences in morbidity and mortality are well described for
coronary artery bypass grafting but are not well understood for combined valve and bypass …

In our experiments the complete de-endothelialization was a very consistent finding after 1
h of unsupported perfusion. In fact this corresponds with the postmortem findings of Kockx et …
