Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We compared profiles of the numbers of circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and the apoptosis-inducing capacity of serum samples on human endothelial cells (hEC) in on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. METHODS: Blood samples from 30 patients undergoing CABG (randomly assigned to two groups: 15 patients off-pump and 15 on-pump (cardiopulmonary bypass, ...
