Aortic Valve Replacement in the Setting of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) with End Stage Renal Disease (Video)
World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
Our results suggest that the LG filter should not be used in ex vivo perfusion circuits for the purpose of leukodepletion. The BC2 filter can be used in EVP circuits with flow rates of less than 350 mL/min. Alternatively, perfusate may be leukodepleted before perfusion.
Recently, the combination of increasing costs for the provisions of blood products1, increasing recognition of the risks associated with transfusion and growing awareness of the possible future shortage of blood supply has raised the interest of the scientific community in the concept of "blood management".
