Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Deceased Donor Liver Grafts Is Associated With Improved Postreperfusion Hemodynamics
Graft reperfusion poses a critical challenge during liver transplantation and can be associated with hemodynamic instability/postreperfusion syndrome.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Priming Using Autologous Cord Blood in Neonatal Congenital Cardiac Surgery
This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using autologous cord blood for a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) priming as an alternative to an allo-transfusion in neonatal cardiac surgery.
The Effectiveness of 10 Years of Interventions to Control Postoperative Bleeding in Adult Cardiac Surgery
Postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery remains an important complication, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Different interventions are possible to prevent/treat postoperative bleeding. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of these interventions in a real-world scenario.
A Novel Anti-Pollution Filter for Volatile Agents During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Preliminary Tests.
The authors' aim was to create and to assess the performance of a prototype filter for volatile agents to be connected to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit to avoid the emission of volatile agents to the operating room, and also to the environment without causing damage to the membrane oxygenator.

Poor Anticoagulation Relates to Extended Access Times for Cardioversion and is Associated with Long-Term Major Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events
Patients undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) for atrial fibrillation have a temporarily increased risk of thromboembolism.

Anticoagulation During Pregnancy: Evolving Strategies With a Focus on Mechanical Valves
Development of anticoagulant agents that are homogeneous, efficacious, safe to the fetus, and not affected by physiological perturbations of pregnancy will have tremendous effect on the outcomes of pregnancy in women who require anticoagulation.
Acidosis induced by carbon dioxide insufflation decreases heparin potency: a risk factor for thrombus formation.
In this in vitro study, we assessed the influence of acidosis and hypothermia on heparin potency and thrombin formation.
