Transcatheter Closure of Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Defect: Where Are We

Since 1988, Transcatheter closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular defect became an alternative treatment for anatomically suitable patients with high risk of surgical closure.

Hemodilution During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Increases Cerebral Infarct Volume After Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Rats

Hemodilution (hemoglobin, 6 g/dL) increased cerebral infarct volume and worsened outcome after focal cerebral ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass in rats; this suggests that excessive hemodilution may increase the risk of cardiac surgery-related stroke.
