Adenoviral gene transfer to the heart during cardiopulmonary bypass: effect of myocardial protection technique on transgene expression.

Journal article Eur J Cardiothorac Surg · May 2002 Featured Publication OBJECTIVE: Adenoviral gene transfer to the arrested heart during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a novel method of allowing prolonged vector contact with the myocardium. In this model we investigated the importance of temperature, duration of arrest and ca ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cardiac gene delivery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Journal article Circulation · July 10, 2001 Featured Publication BACKGROUND: Cardiac gene therapy offers the possibility of enhancing myocardial performance in the compromised heart. However, current gene delivery techniques have limited myocardial transgene expression and pose the risk of extracardiac expression. Isola ... Full text Link to item Cite
