In Vivo and In Vitro Evaluation of the Heparin Management Test versus the Activated Coagulation Time for Monitoring Anticoagulation Level in Aprotinin-Treated Patients during Cardiac Surgery

Monitoring whole blood anticoagulation therapy with the activated coagulation time (kaolin ACT) and the heparin management test (HMT) were correlated in vivo with the plasma anti-activated factor X (anti-Xa) heparin concentration in patients who received variable doses of aprotinin and in vitro in the presence of increasing concentrations of aprotinin.

Right Axillary Artery Cannulation for Surgical Management of the Hostile Ascending Aorta

Arterial perfusion through the axillary artery provides sufficient antegrade aortic flow, is more likely to perfuse the true lumen in the event of dissection, and is associated with fewer atheroembolic complications.
