1 Heparin-coated circuits reduce the formation of TNF alpha during cardiopulmonary bypass. Heparin tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 Although previous studies have shown that heparin coating of the extracorporeal circuits reduces complement and granulocyte activation, and the inflammatory response, the possible effect of heparin coating on TNF alpha formation and the inflammatory response has not been fully investigated. Heparin tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: From these observations, we conclude that heparin coating of the extracorporeal circuits reduces the TNF alpha formation during CPB, which may reduce neutrophil activation. Heparin tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
