Favourable Clinical Outcome in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock Due to Fulminant Myocarditis Supported by Percutaneous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We studied the survival and clinical courses of patients with fulminant myocarditis supported by percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and compared them with those of patients with acute non-fulminant myocarditis.
Cardiac Dimensions During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Our aim was to analyze left ventricular fractional shortening during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation under the influence of changing volume loading conditions induced by a ductal left-to-right shunt.
The Significance of Baseline Cerebral Oxygen Saturation in Children Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery
We hypothesized that some children with congenital heart disease have an abnormally low baseline (preoperative) cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO(2)).
Comparative Analysis of Antioxidant Defense During On-Pump and Off-Pump Cardiac Surgery
We obtained indirect measures of the oxidative damage occurring during cardiac surgery by monitoring the glutathione system and we studied the influence of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Perfusion Partners Settles Patent Dispute With Cytomedix
Cytomedix (AMEX:GTF - News) today announced that Perfusion Partners and Associates Inc. (PPAI), based in Fort Meyers, Florida, and its affiliate organization, Transcorporeal Inc., have settled a patent dispute with Cytomedix for its platelet-derived therapies for treating wounds and other damaged tissue.
A Wet-Primed Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuit With Hollow-Fiber Membrane Oxygenator Maintains Adequate Function for Use During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation After 2 Weeks on Standby
To assess the durability of wet-preprimed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits for potential use in resuscitation after a 2-wk period of storage.
Coagulation Activation and Organ Dysfunction Following Cardiac Surgery
We documented the association between coagulation activation and organ dysfunction to investigate whether coagulation activation also plays a role in organ injury following cardiac surgery with CPB.
How to Handle Remote Access Perfusion for Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery
Despite careful patient selection, technical problems and complications occur with the use of this sophisticated technique, and we aim to describe these problems and suggest solutions.
The Smart Canula(TM): A New Tool for Remote Access Perfusion in Limited Access Cardiac Surgery
The smartcanula(TM) concept of "collapsed insertion and expansion in situ" is the logical next step for venous access.
Strategies for Temporary Mechanical Support: Contemporary Experience with Pulsatile and Non-pulsatile Support Systems
We reviewed our experience with pulsatile versus non-pulsatile temporary mechanical support at our institution to determine optimal strategy for survival.
