Study information
Scientific title
Acronym
Study hypothesis
We propose that leukocyte extravasation and the release of inflammatory mediators into cantharidin skin blisters will be enhanced during cardiopulmonary bypass and that the effect of aprotinin or off-pump coronary artery surgery will ablate this
Ethics approval
Approved by Hammersmith Hospital and Queen Charlotte's Chelsea Hospitals Research Ethics Committee on 15/07/2003, reference number: 2003/6589
