Introduction: Arterial filter is the part of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit where blood cells are exposed to high mechanical stress and where cellular aggregates may fasten in large quantities. The aim of this study was to analyse blood cell adhesiveness in the arterial filter through scanning electron microscopy and real-time PCR assay.
Methods: Prospective, clinical and observational study performed on 28 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
