Choroidal Changes after Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We aimed to reveal choroidal thickness and ocular pulse amplitude changes after cardiopulmonary bypass in which gross hemodynamic alterations occur.
Hybrid Technique to Correct Cerebral Malperfusion following Repair of a Type A Aortic Dissection
When selective antegrade cerebral perfusion was initiated, the right regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) decreased as compared to the left one.
A Meta-Analysis of Pulmonary Function With Pulsatile Perfusion in Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study was to determine whether pulsatile or nonpulsatile perfusion had a greater effect on pulmonary dysfunction in randomized controlled trials.
Click Hydrogels, Microgels and Nanogels: Emerging Platforms for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering
Hydrogels, microgels and nanogels have emerged as versatile and viable platforms
Serum Lactate Is not Correlated with Mixed or Central Venous Oxygen Saturation for Detecting Tissue Hypo Perfusion During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study
In summary, Scvo2 is considered as the best substitute of Svo2 for detecting tissue hypo perfusion during CPB.
Arterial Pressure and Cerebral Blood Flow Variability: Friend or Foe? A Review
This review presents the dichotomous views on the role of hemodynamic variability on clinical outcome
Possible Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) in Cardiac Surgery Patients
This study was tp determine the incidence of possible transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and related risk factors in cardiac surgery patients.
Expert Position Paper on the Management of Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Expert position paper on the management of antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Plasma Fibrinogen Concentration is Correlated with Postoperative Blood Loss in Children undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Review
Post-CPB plasma fibrinogen concentration significantly influences blood loss in children undergoing cardiac surgery.
Value of Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Guidance in Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery
Today intraoperative TEE is a class I indication for surgical mitral valve reconstruction for evaluation of mitral valve pathology, graduation of mitral regurgitation and detection of potential risk factors as well as post-repair assessment.
Hemodynamic Effects of Various Support Modes of Continuous Flow LVADs on the Cardiovascular System: A Numerical Study
The study demonstrates that the continuous flow control mode of the CF-LVAD may achieve the highest ventricular unloading.
Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery
Cardiac surgery was the last area of surgery to become “minimally invasive,” and this began in the mid-1990s with some regularity at the Cleveland Clinic and the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
