welcomes you to the new, improved website!This retrospective study compared Celsior (65% of pts) to all-blood continuous myocardial protection (35%) in 631 patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement. Troponin T release was lower in Celsior patients, as was the risk of postoperative death (OR 0.33; 0.15 – 0.76). Other outcomes were similar between the groups.
