| Résumé : | The release of cytokines after cardiopulmonary bypass may play an important role in postoperative morbidity. The release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8, is even greater in patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTx) than coronary artery grafting. We tested the hypothesis that in HTx patients the earlier administration of steroids, before rather than after cardiopulmonary bypass as usual, can reduce the inflammatory response. |
