Frontal Sinus Obliteration and Craniofacial Reconstruction With Platelet Rich Plasma in a Patient With Fibrous Dysplasia
PRP associated to an allograft or to cortical bone shavings seems to be a safe and simple treatment with the advantage of the absence of donor site surgery and morbidity.
Argatroban Anticoagulation in Pediatric Patients: A Literature Analysis
The authors conducted a literature analysis to characterize the uses, dosing patterns, and safety of argatroban anticoagulation in pediatric patients.
Two-Year Clinical Outcomes After Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) Therapy in Patients With Refractory Angina Pectoris and Left Ventricular Dysfunction (Report from the International EECP Patient Registry
This 2-year cohort study describes the long-term follow-up of patients who had severe LV dysfunction that was treated with EECP for angina pectoris and reports clinical outcomes, event-free survival rates, and the incidence of repeat EECP.
Intra and Extravascular Volume Status in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement: Crystalloid vs. Colloid Priming of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this prospective double-blind study was to evaluate the influence of different priming solutions of the extracorporeal circuit on intra- and extravascular volume status and haemodynamics in patients undergoing elective mitral valve replacement.
The Effects of Local Platelet Rich Plasma Delivery on Diabetic Fracture Healing
The percutaneous delivery of platelet rich plasma (PRP) was used in the diabetic BB Wistar femur fracture model to investigate the use of PRP as a concentrated source of critical early growth factors on bone healing.
A New practical Technique to Reduce Allogeneic Blood Exposure and Hospital Costs While Preserving Clotting Factors After Cardiopulmonary Bypass: the Hemobag
The Hemobag allows the open-heart team to concentrate residual CPB circuit contents and return a high volume of autologous clotting factors and blood cells to the patient.
