Beating Heart Versus Conventional Cardiopulmonary Bypass: The Octopus Experience: A Randomized Comparison of 281 Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery With or Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The primary objective was to compare cognitive outcome between off-pump and on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Renal Injury
Renal dysfunction following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is well recognized. The extent of perioperative renal impairment ranges from subclinical injury to established renal failure requiring dialysis.
Failure of Surface-Modified Bypass Circuits to Improve Platelet Function During Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Surface-modified cardiopulmonary bypass circuits have been shown to improve platelet function and decrease postoperative bleeding after heart surgery in adults.
First Clinical Experience With the Air Purge Control and Electrical Remote-controlled Tubing Clamp in Mini Bypass
The air purge control, in conjunction with the electrical remote clamp, is a valuable safety feature in mini bypass, enhancing patient safety and user friendliness while providing a level of safety equivalent to those of conventional bypass systems.
Characterization of Blood Components Prepared From Whole-Blood Donations After a 24-Hour Hold With the Platelet-RichPlasma Method
This study compares the in vitro quality of blood components prepared from WB stored for 8 and 24 hours at room temperature before processing with the PRP method.
Applications of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Contemporary Pediatric Dentistry
Current evidence and understanding of bone science recognize the pivotal role of growth factors in all the aspects of bone grafting and regeneration.
Platelet-Rich Plasma and Platelet Gel: A Review
Strategies to reduce blood loss and transfusion of allogeneic blood products during surgical procedures are important in modern times.
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. State of the Art 2006 and Results in Comparison with Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Strategies
The decision between OPCAB and CCAB has to weigh several factors, including the likely risks and benefits of the two approaches for the particular patient, the experience of the surgeon, the complexity of the coronary disease, and the required coronary revascularization.
Pericardial Suction Blood Separation Attenuates Inflammatory Response and Hemolysis After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated various indicators of inflammation and blood cell activation associated with CPB and re-transfusion of PSB during cardiac surgery.
Platelet Content and Growth Factor Release in Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Comparison of Four Different Systems
We investigated the performance of Vivostat PRF Preparation Kit(R), PCCS Platelet Concentrate Collection System(R), Harvest(R) SmartPReP 2 APC 60 Process, and Fibrinet(R) Autologous Fibrin & Platelet System.
Early Implant Loading in Severely Resorbed Maxilla Using Xenograft, Autograft, and Platelet-Rich Plasma in 97 Patients
We studied the reconstruction of the maxilla with the simultaneous placement of International Team for Implantology (ITI) implants with the combined use of a small amount of intraoral autogenous bone providing the necessary viable stem cells, and a larger amount of xenogenic bone used as a scaffold and a purely autologous platelet concentrate providing the growth factors for optimal bone formation.
Effects of Cell Saver Autologous Blood Transfusion on Blood Loss and Homologous Blood Transfusion Requirements in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
In this randomised controlled study we investigated the effects of autologous cell saver blood transfusion on blood loss and homologous blood transfusion requirements in patients undergoing CABG on- versus off-CPB.
