Veno-Right Ventricular Cannulation Reduces Recirculation in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We compared recirculation in veno-right ventricular support with that in conventional veno-venous support and its relationship with pump flow.
Emergency Cardiac Surgery in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Review of the Evidence and Perioperative Implications of Medical and Mechanical Therapeutics
Patients with acute coronary syndromes who require emergency cardiac surgery present complex management challenges.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Transiently Inhibits Intraventricular Vortex Ring Formation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
The authors tested the hypothesis that exposure to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) attenuates intraventricular vortex formation time (VFT) in patients with normal preoperative LV systolic and diastolic function undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Hyperoxia Management during Deep Hypothermia for Cerebral Protection in Circulatory Arrest Rabbit Model
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible neuroprotective effects of hyperoxia management during deep hyperthermia for ASCP combined with DHCA in a rabbit model.
Increasing Duration of Circulatory Arrest, but not Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion, Prolongs Postoperative Recovery after Neonatal Cardiac Surgery
Therefore, in this study, the impact of duration of DHCA and ACP on postoperative recovery was analyzed in a cohort of neonates undergoing aortic arch reconstruction.
Mild-to-Moderate Hypothermia in Aortic Arch Surgery Using Circulatory Arrest: A Change of Paradigm?
Systemic mild-to-moderate hypothermia that is adapted to the duration of circulatory arrest is a simple, safe, and effective method of organ protection and can be recommended in routine aortic arch surgery with circulatory arrest and cerebral perfusion.
Left Tilt Position for Easy Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannula Insertion in Late Pregnancy Patients
The aim was to describe how to avoid technical difficulties during venous femoral cannula insertion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a woman in late pregnancy.
Cannulation Strategy for Aortic Arch Reconstruction Using Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
In this study, we use computational fluid dynamics to investigate the effect of different cannulation strategies in neonates.
Weaning from Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation without Anticoagulation: Is it Possible?
Based on this single experience, management and weaning without any anticoagulant agent might be possible.
Advances in Platelet Function Testing Assessing Bleeding Complications in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
The present manuscript will review the prognostic value of platelet function testing to identify patients with CAD at risk of bleeding complications and the potential applications of these tests in the modern era of antiplatelet pharmacotherapy.
Institution of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Late after Lung Transplantation – A Futile Exercise?
Late institution of ECMO in lung transplant recipients for causes other than primary graft failure is associated with such poor survival that its use should be considered only in very select cases.
20-year Experience of Prolonged Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Critically Ill Children with Cardiac or Pulmonary Failure
This study aimed to study morbidity and mortality associated with prolonged ECMO therapy (≥28 days) in children with refractory cardiac or pulmonary failure.
