Tissue-Engineered Cultured Periosteum Used With Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hydroxyapatite in Treating Human Osseous Defects
The aim of the present controlled clinical study was to compare the clinical response of human cultured periosteum (HCP) sheets in combination with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and porous hydroxyapatite (HA) granules to a mixture of PRP and HA in the treatment of human infrabony periodontal defects.
Platelet-Rich Plasma and Connective Tissue Grafts in the Treatment of Gingival Recessions: A Histometric Study in Dogs
The aim of this study was to histometrically evaluate the healing process of gingival recessions treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in combination with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and to compare it to that obtained with SCTG alone.
Antegrade Versus Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion in Relation to Postoperative Complications Following Aortic Arch Surgery for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A
Aortic arch surgery is impossible without the temporary interruption of brain perfusion and therefore is associated with high incidence of neurologic injury. The deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), in combination with antegrade or retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP), is a well-established method of brain protection in aortic arch surgery. In this retrospective study, we compare the two methods of brain perfusion.
Medtronic Recalls Heparin-Coated Bypass Equipment
Medtronic Inc said on Wednesday it was voluntarily recalling some disposable devices used during cardiac bypass surgery because they have been found to be coated with contaminated traces of the blood-thinner heparin.

Absence of Cognitive Decline One Year After Coronary Bypass Surgery: Comparison to Nonsurgical and Healthy Controls
Determination of possible cognitive impairment due to surgery or use of cardiopulmonary bypass is complicated by numerous factors, including use of appropriate comparison groups and consideration of practice effects in cognitive testing.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
This study evaluated the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in end-to-end neurorrhaphy.
Reduced Transfusion Requirements With a Closed Cardiopulmonary Bypass System
The aim of this investigation is to reduce blood transfusion in cardiac surgery patients with preoperative conditions predictive for transfusion requirements.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Regeneration in Dentistry: A Systematic Review
To review systematically the reported effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on bone regeneration.
Reduction of Hemodilution in Small Adults Undergoing Open Heart Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized Trial
Given that there is an association between the degree of hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and postoperative complications, patients-outcome might be improved if the nadir hematocrit concentration is kept within an optimal range.
Coagulation Monitoring: Current Techniques and Clinical Use of Viscoelastic Point-of-Care Coagulation Devices
Perioperative monitoring of blood coagulation is critical to better understand causes of hemorrhage, to guide hemostatic therapies, and to predict the risk of bleeding during the consecutive anesthetic or surgical procedures.
Intra-aortic Balloon Pump-induced Pulsatile Flow Reduces Coagulative and Fibrinolytic Response to Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The aim of this study is to evaluate if a simple intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)-induced pulsatile perfusion reduces activation of coagulative system during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
