Second Valve Implantation for the Treatment of a Malpositioned Transcatheter Aortic Valve
TAVI-in-TAV for correction of malpositioned or embolized valves is technically feasible and leads to favorable functional results during mid-term follow-up.
Automatic Aorta Segmentation and Valve Landmark Detection in C-Arm CT for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Under the guidance of the automatically extracted patient-specific aorta model, the physicians can properly determine the C-arm angulation and deploy the prosthetic valve. Promising outcomes have been achieved in real clinical applications.
Peri-aortic Hematoma Complicated with Aortic Regurgitation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Description of a Novel Mechanism of Paravalvular Leak
The present case describes a novel complication associated with TAVI, a severe paravalvular leak related to "stretch-induced" peri-aortic hematoma.
Data Collection and Interpretation in Blood Management (EP Video)
Dr. Mark Popovsky discusses the collection and interpretation of data in a blood management program (43:34 minutes).
TEG: Total Excellence Guaranteed
The TEG 5000 Hemostasis Analyzer provides the clinician with a complete picture of an individual patient’s hemostasis profile; thus guiding therapy and a targeted treatment: Right product, Right does, Right patient, Right time. This baseline test lets the clinician know if the patient is hypercoagulable, normal, hypocoagulable, or fibrinolytic.
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time is a Better Trending Tool in Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
To determine whether activated partial thromboplastin times are a better heparin management tool than activated clotting times in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation as Right Heart Support Following Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement: A New Cannulation Technique
Our technique describes a novel method of cannulation of the femoral vein and pulmonary trunk via a tunnelled vascular tube graft, which allows the chest to be closed whilst on right heart support, and decannulation to proceed without resternotomy.
Clinical Evaluation of New Generation Oxygenators With Integrated Arterial Line Filters for Cardiopulmonary Bypass
New generation oxygenators with integrated arterial line filters have been marketed to improve the efficacy of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Challenges Encountered with Argatroban Anticoagulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We report a case where the challenges in dosing argatroban led to failure to provide adequate anticoagulation during CPB, as evidenced by clot formation in the oxygenator, and extensive bleeding in the postoperative period.
Albumin Limits Mesenteric Endothelial Dysfunction and Inflammatory Response in Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential anti-inflammatory and endothelial protective properties of albumin during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in an experimental porcine model.
Evolution of Operative Techniques and Perfusion Strategies for Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
Perfusion strategies and operative techniques for minimally invasive mitral valve repair have evolved over time.
