The Effect of Conventional and Mini-Invasive Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Neutrophil Activation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

<table>Percentage of neutrophils in peripheral blood samples of patients with conventional CPB or mini-CPB. The percentage of neutrophils was evaluated by flow cytometry. The percentage of neutrophils significantly differed between both groups of patients at the end of surgery (79% of neutrophils in conventional CPB group versus 75% of neutrophils in mini-CPB group, <svg height="11.375" id="M18" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 58.712502 11.375" width="58.712502" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
