Recombinant Activated Factor VII for Uncontrolled Bleeding Post-cardiac Surgery
This study is a retrospective observational study to review the safety and efficacy of rFVIIa in persistent hemorrhage in post cardiac surgical patients.
Short and Mid-Term Outcome of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients with Advanced Age
The aim of our study was to evaluate whether early and mid-term results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) were worse in patients over 85 year old compared with the younger population.
Pulmonary and Systemic Vascular Resistances After Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Role of Hemolysis
Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hemolysis, resulting in increased plasma oxyhemoglobin and vascular nitric oxide depletion.

Reemergence of Mycobacterium chimaera in Heater–Cooler Units despite Intensified Cleaning and Disinfection Protocol
Invasive Mycobacterium chimaera infections after open-heart surgery have been reported internationally.
Efficacy of Intraoperative Cell Salvage in Decreasing Perioperative Blood Transfusion Rates in First-Time Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Retrospective Study
Evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) in transfusion reduction during cardiac surgery remains conflicting. We sought to evaluate the impact of routine ICS on outcomes following cardiac surgery.
Anesthetic Management During Surgery for Left Ventricular Aneurysm and False Aneurysm Occurring in Stage: A Case Report
In this report, we describe a case of acute heart failure with left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and left ventricular false aneurysm (LVFA) occurring in stage as a complication of myocardial infarction in a 55-year-old man.
