reduced the influence of biases , excluding all the patients requiring early reintervention due to active bleeding or cardiac tamponade may have attenuated the effect of HAR in all outcome variables .

To conclude , HAR seems to be a promising approach that could be included as a perfusion tool for ERACS programs , to promote the recovery of patients in terms of BPR , endothelial glycocalyx preservation , and embolic protection , without representing additional risks when applied under the specified methodology . However , future randomized and controlled studies are required to confirm our findings .
