To the Editor:

We read with great interest the article by Siepe and colleagues [1]. In this particular animal research, to avoid ischemia of the lungs during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the authors used active pulmonary perfusion and compared the effects of two different perfusion modes (pulsatile vs nonpulsatile perfusion) on pulmonary inflammatory response and apoptosis in the lungs. They concluded that active pulsatile pulmonary perfusion reduces the inflammatory response and apoptosis in the lungs during CPB. Siepe and colleagues should be congratulated on their excellent experimental design and results. We believe that their original idea on this topic is a good attempt to use active pulsatile perfusion . . . [Full Text of this Article]
