Abstract

The number of cardiac surgical procedures increases worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with improved long-term results in severe coronary artery disease compared to percutaneous techniques [1]. Refinements in surgical technique regarding valve procedures reduced morbidity and mortality even in high-risk patients [2]. Use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains the gold standard perfusion strategy to perform cardiac surgery. Induction of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and the coagulation cascade during CPB, triggered mainly by the contact of blood with foreign surfaces and complement activation, is related to end-organ injury postoperatively [3].
