World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
Various approaches to venous return during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have been described in the literature. However, venous drainage using a gravity siphon has been the most common means employed to effect venous drainage into the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.
Straight femoral cannulation for all phases of type A dissection repair is appropriate and yields excellent clinical results. The anticipated malperfusion events are actually rare (2 of 79 with femoral artery cannulation, or 2.5%).
In this study, we disclose a new strategy that may be effective in preventing implant-associated infection based on the potential antimicrobial properties of platelet-rich plasma(PRP).
