Can cardiopulmonary bypass system with blood priming become a new standard in coronary surgery?

Background: Commonly used cardiopulmonary bypass systems with cardiotomy reservoir, oxygenator, and roller pump require preoperative crystalloid filling. Radical reduction of the filling fluid volume and replacing it with the patient's own blood has a fundamental impact on the outcome.

Aim: A comparison of cardiopulmonary bypass filled with the patient's blood, applied in Poland for the first time, and the classical system filled with crystalloids.
