The Role of CytoSorb Hemoadsorption Therapy in Protecting Endothelial Integrity in Sepsis and Systemic Hyperinflammation

Daniel Wendt on the third publication from the International STAR Registry on intraoperative hemoadsorption in iCABG patients on ticagrelor*

This large, single-center study — conducted over seven years (2016-2023) — reviewed outcomes in 175 septic shock patients treated with CytoSorb. It represents the most extensive dataset from a single center to date, offering a real-world look at how timing and intensity of treatment can influence survival.

A newly published meta-analysis by Steindl et al. in J Clin Med (2025;14:2285) presents compelling evidence for the effectiveness of CytoSorb hemoadsorption therapy in patients with septic shock — a patient group not yet targeted specifically in prior meta-analyses.
