  Background We aimed to evaluate the cytokines monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), TNF soluble receptor (TNF-sR1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) behavior in patients submitted to CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) surgeries comparing roller to centrifugal extracorporeal circulation (ECC) pumping systems. Methods We randomized prospectively 43 adults who had elective on-pump CABG with the use of a roller (group I; n = 22) or a centrifugal system (group II; n = 21). Plasma levels of MCP-1, TNF-sR1 and IL-6 were determined by Elisa before the induction of anaesthesia (T1), 35 min after initiation of ECC (T2), 1 min after aortic declamping (T3), and 2, 6 and 24 h after the operation (T4, T5 and T6, respectively). The two groups were matched according to preoperative features. The groups I and II showed similar perioperative characteristics and clinical postoperative outcomes. The plasma .. Read More»
