Oxygenator Is the Main Responsible for Leukocyte Activation in Experimental Model of Extracorporeal Circulation: A Cautionary Tale

<div>Representative flow-cytometry analysis at baseline (a), after ECC without oxygenator (b) and after ECC with oxygenator (c). A significant depletion of mononuclear cells and granulocytes after ECC + oxygenator is evident.</div>
