Combination of Acute Preoperative Plateletpheresis, Cell Salvage, and Aprotinin Minimizes Blood Loss and Requirement During Cardiac Surgery
In this prospective randomized clinical study, the efficacy of these combined approaches on reducing blood loss and transfusion requirements was evaluated.
Quantifying Platelet Gel Coagulation Using Sonoclot and Thrombelastograph Hemostasis Analyzer
The objective of this study was to determine the application of TEG and Sonoclot technologies as point-of-care devices for technicians using platelet gel therapy.
Thrombelastograph (TEG) Analysis of Platelet Gel Formed With Different Thrombin Concentrations
Based on the information that the TEG provides, it promises to be a good choice for point of care measurement of the integrity of thrombus formed by platelet gels.
A Novel Injectable Bone Mixture
These results demonstrated that the mixture of MSCs and PRP were useful as injectable bone substitute and its ability of bone regeneration is almost epual to autogenous particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM).

Initial Experience of an Automated Anastomotic Distal Device in Off-Pump CABG
We assessed the feasibility of the automated anastomotic distal device (AADD) on arterial grafts in patients who underwent off-pump CABG (OPCAB) and evaluated the early anastomotic patency and clinical results of the AADD based on an elliptical nitinol ring with attached 8 pins.
Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Abnormalities following Off-Pump Cardiac Surgery
The objective of this study was to determine the rate of DW-MRI detection of brain lesions following off-pump CABG.
Early Experience With Activated Recombinant Factor VII for Intractable Hemorrhage After Cardiovascular Surgery
. We report our experience with the use of activated recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) as rescue therapy for patients with refractory postoperative hemorrhage.

pH-Stat Versus alpha-Stat Acid-Base Management Strategy During Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest Combined With Embolic Brain Injury
We investigated this possible adverse effect in an experimental model that combined hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and embolic brain injury.
Blood Simulant for Instructional Use in Autologous Blood Salvaging Machines at Perfusion Schools and Institutions
The goal was to create a blood simulant that could be utilized in the training and competency evaluations of personnel in the use of all autologous blood salvaging machines.
Nafamostat Preserves Neutrophil Deformability and Reduces Microaggregate Formation During Simulated Extracorporeal Circulation
The study assesses the inhibitory effects of nafamostat mesilate on neutrophil and platelet activation, and on the neutrophil deformability change and microaggregate formation during simulated extracorporeal circulation.
