Study on the Effects of Sevoflurane and Propofol on Reperfusion after Partial Thoracic Aortic Cross-Clamping: Is Sevoflurane Superior to Propofol in Relation to Blood Flow and Markers of Tissue Injury and Inflammation?

Background: Aortic clamping causes ischemia-reperfusion syndrome, hemodynamic implications, and alterations in serum indicators of cellular injury like pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokines release and oxygen free radicals. Sevoflurane...
