The Identification and Development of Canadian Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Quality Indicators
The study objective was to develop quality indicators for coronary artery bypass graft surgery that relate to quality of care, associate with preventable death, and could be reported on performance reports.
Increasing Duration of Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest is Associated With an Increased Incidence of Postoperative Electroencephalographic Seizures
The contemporary incidence of postoperative seizures after repair of cardiac defects such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome and other forms of single ventricle is not known.
Regenerative Potential of Platelet-Rich Plasma Added to Xenogenic Bone Grafts in Peri-Implant Defects: A Histomorphometric Analysis in Dogs
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the regenerative influence of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) added to xenogenic bone grafts on bone histomorphometric parameters in a dog model.
PRP Modulates Expression of Bone Matrix Proteins in Vivo Without Long-Term Effects on Bone Formation
This experimental study (domestic pig) examined the bone formation after filling defined defects of the frontal skull with autogenous bone or a deproteinized bovine bone matrix (DBBM) in combination with platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Efficient Myocyte Gene Delivery With Complete Cardiac Surgical Isolation in Situ
we present a translatable cardiac surgical procedure that allows for complete surgical isolation of the heart in situ with retrograde (through the coronary venous circulation) administration of both vector and endothelial permeabilizing agents to increase myocyte transduction efficiency.
LIFEBRIDGE: A Portable, Modular, Rapidly Available “Plug-and-Play” Mechanical Circulatory Support System
We describe the LIFEBRIDGE, a portable, modular, rapidly available "plug-and-play" mechanical circulatory support system, and report its experimental safety evaluation.
Microbubbles: Pathophysiology and Clinical Implications
We present the current data regarding the pathophysiology of microemboli and their clinical consequences.

Synchronously Counterpulsating Extracorporeal Life Support Enhances Myocardial Working Conditions Regardless of Systemic Perfusion Pressure
Our research was focused on the pump's functional interaction with the left ventricle and the coronary circulation.
Platelet Gel for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Platelet gel is an innovative technique that holds many advantages, including comfort, hemostasis, and growth factors that may improve wound healing.
