Conventional Aortic Valve Replacement in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Candidates: A 5-Year Experience
Patient selection for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains highly controversial. Some screened patients subsequently undergo conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) because they are unsuitable TAVI candidates. This study examined the indications and outcomes for these patients, thereby determining the efficacy of the screening process.
Comparison of the Effects of Three Cell Saver Devices on Erythrocyte Function During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Procedure-A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study was to evaluate three commercially available cell saver (CS) devices in terms of erythrocyte function and the quality of washed RBCs during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Residual Blood Processing by Centrifugation, Cell Salvage or Ultrafiltration in Cardiac Surgery: Effects on Clinical Hemostatic and Ex-vivo Rheological Parameters
The study compared the effects of three blood concentration techniques after cardiopulmonary bypass on clinical hemostatic and ex-vivo rheological parameters.
Hemoglobin Trends in Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Performed Off-Pump and With Standard and Mini Circuits
This study was undertaken to compare the perioperative hemoglobin curves of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting performed with minimized extracorporeal circulation, traditional cardiopulmonary bypass, and off-pump technique.
