trillium/ヘパリン

BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) evokes a systemic inflammatory response. In attempting to improve the biocompatibility of the equipment, various methods to coat the inner surfaces of the CPB systems have been developed. The present study compares a Trillium Biopassive surface-coated Affinity

Trillium coating (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN) offers, in addition to the presence of heparin, endothelium-like properties of its negatively charged surface. Its thromboresistant properties on coated connectors are tested here and compared with uncoated standard connectors, as well as with the

OBJECTIVE To determine if the Trillium Biopassive Surface (Medtronic Cardiopulmonary, Minneapolis, MN) coating added to the cardiopulmonary bypass oxygenator reduces inflammatory mediators, blood loss, and transfusion requirements. METHODS Prospective, randomized, and blinded human

OBJECTIVE The surface coating of a synthetic surface is currently investigated to decrease the harmful effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study was designed to study the effects of the surface coating of a hollow fiber membrane oxygenator on coagulation, inflammation markers, and clinical

Coating of cardiopulmonary bypass circuits may be a solution to prevent adverse effects induced by contact of blood elements with foreign surfaces. Using an animal model, we investigated the Trillium TM coating of cardiopulmonary bypass circuits (a new process involving polyethylene oxide,
