Abstract

Background Post-esophagectomy complications have an extremely poor prognosis. Recently, polymyxin B-direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) therapy using a polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column was reported to be beneficial in gram-negative and/or gram-positive bacterial sepsis. The present retrospective study investigated the effectiveness and safety of PMX-DHP therapy in severe sepsis or septic shock after esophagectomy.
