Tiny Perfusion Letter #1

Tiny Perfusion Letter

This is the first Tiny Perfusion Letter, or TPL.

The set-up is simple. Whenever I have 10 articles to share about perfusion, cardiac surgery and/or associated disciplines, a TPL is send to you.

There is always a link to the article (publisher or PubMed). There is no ranking, review, rating or whatsoever. You do with it what you like.

If you're not OK with that, simply unsubscribe. No hard feelings.

Hope you enjoy it.
