Bivalirudin Anticoagulation for Cardiopulmonary Bypass in a Patient With Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia
To describe the perioperative management in a heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) positive patient who had prosthetic valve endocarditis and an aortic root abscess.
Precise Quantification of Pulsatility is a Necessity for Direct Comparisons of Six Different Pediatric Heart-Lung Machines in a Neonatal CPB Model
The objective of this study was to precisely quantify and compare pressure-flow waveforms in terms of surplus hemodynamic energy levels of six different pediatric heart-lung machines in a neonatal piglet model during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA).
Soluble ST2 Protein in Cardiac Surgery: A Possible Negative Feedback Loop to Prevent Uncontrolled Inflammatory Reactions
The relation of soluble ST2 and secretion of IL-10, markers of TH2 T-cell activation, and IL-13 in relation to immunoglobulin isotope production is not known in patients undergoing On- versus Off-pump (CABG) procedure.
Vacuum-Assisted Venous Drainage during Fetal Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We hypothesized that vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD) would improve drainage and allow perfusion at higher flow rates which are thought to prevent placental dysfunction induced by fetal bypass.

Cerebral Microembolization During Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery With the Symmetry Aortic Connector Device
The objective of this study was to asses whether use of a Symmetry connector (St Jude Medical, Inc, St Paul, Minn) reduced intraoperative cerebral embolization.
Miniaturized Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Marginal Impact on Inflammation and Coagulation but Loss of Safety Margins
We compared outcomes with conventional (CCPB) and miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB) after coronary artery bypass operations (CABG) with respect to inflammation and coagulation.
Cerebral Microembolization During Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery With the Symmetry Aortic Connector Device
The objective of this study was to asses whether use of a Symmetry connector (St Jude Medical, Inc, St Paul, Minn) reduced intraoperative cerebral embolization.
