The Basic Science of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate in Chondral Injuries
There has been great interest in bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) as a cost effective method in delivering mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to aid in the repair and regeneration of cartilage defects.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support in Post-Traumatic Cardiopulmonary Failure: A 10-Year Single Institutional Experience
Patients with multiple traumas associated with cardiopulmonary failure have a high mortality rate; however, such patients can be temporarily stabilized using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), providing a bridge to rescue therapy.
Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Cannulation Techniques
The development of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology allows a new approach for the intensive care management of acute cardiac and/or respiratory failure in adult patients who are not responsive to conventional treatment.
Coronary Artery Spasm Following On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with 20 Months Follow-Up
The gold standard for revealing coronary artery spasm (CAS) is emergency coronary angiography (CAG) . Infusion of vasodilators combined with IABP is adequate in most instances, but extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been necessary for more extensive or resistant coronary spasm.
Comparing del Nido and Conventional Cardioplegia in Infants and Neonates in Congenital Heart Surgery
The aim of this study was to evaluate outcome measures after the use of del Nido (dN) cardioplegia compared with conventional multidose high-potassium (non-dN) cardioplegia in neonates and infants.
