Blood Oxygenation Using Fluoropolymer-Based Artificial Lung Membranes
The blood oxygenation performance was assessed using animal sheep blood, and the fabricated fluoropolymer membranes showed competitive performance to that of commercial polyolefin membranes without any detectable hemolysis. The data also confirmed that the bottleneck in the blood oxygenation performance was not the membrane permeance but rather the rate of mass transfer in the blood phase, highlighting the importance of efficient module design.

Antegrade and Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion During Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Repair in 290 Patients
Thirty-day (30-day) mortality rate, new-onset postoperative neurological dysfunctions, ICU stay, and in-hospital stay did not differ between the MHCA/ACP and DHCA/RCP groups after ATAAD correction. Although the rates of 30-day mortality and postoperative neurological complications were high after ATAAD repair, ACP had no advantages over the RCP technique.
