Autologous Thrombin: Intraoperative Production From Whole Blood
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the robustness and reproducibility of a new sterile handheld disposable thrombin-processing device (TPD) to generate autologous human thrombin in the intraoperative setting, using whole blood as the starting source material.
Platelet Gel in Cardiac Surgery (Article Summary)
The artcile is a compilation of recent evidence supporting the use of PRP in cardiac surgery.
Bivalirudin for Patients with Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery
To evaluate the use of bivalirudin in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) undergoing cardiovascular surgery.
Hybrid Procedures Can Reduce the Risk of Congenital Cardiovascular Surgery
Minimally invasive operations and percutaneous interventions are well-accepted options in the treatment of congenital heart defects. However, percutaneous interventions may be associated with an increased risk due to limited vascular access or a very tortuous catheter course.
Does Combined Antegrade-Retrograde Cardioplegia Have Any Superiority Over Antegrade Cardioplegia?
In a prospective randomised clinical study we assessed and compared antegrade vs. combined antegrade-retrograde cardioplegia in patients who underwent elective coronary artery by pass grafting.
Platelet Gel for the Surgical Treatment of Onychocryptosis
The use of platelet gel for the treatment of onychocryptosis by single nonincisional matricectomy can guarantee good hemostasis, with a significant reduction in bleeding, but does not produce a clinically significant reduction in cicatrization time.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Suppresses Osteoclastogenesis by Promoting the Secretion of Osteoprotegerin
aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich plasma and platelet-poor plasma on osteoclastogenesis with rat bone marrow cell culture.
Platelet Rich Plasma Injection Grafts for Musculoskeletal Injuries: A Review
PRP provides a promising alternative to surgery by promoting safe and natural healing. However, there are few controlled trials, and mostly anecdotal or case reports.
Acute Normovolaemic Haemodilution With Crystalloids in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Preliminary Survey of Haemostatic Markers
This study was designed to determine the effect of crystalloids on measured coagulation values and perioperative blood loss following ANH in patients undergoing elective coronary revascularization.
Fabrication of Pre-Determined Shape of Bone Segment With Collagen-Hydroxyapatite Scaffold and Autogenous Platelet-Rich Plasma
This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of using biohybrids of platelet-rich plasma and collagen-hydroxyapatite beads for fabricating of protrusive bone in a rabbit animal model.
In vitro Evaluation of Freeze-Dried Bone Allografts Combined With Platelet Rich Plasma and Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells For Tissue Engineering
Freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) might be more effective in combination with platelet rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) in accelerating bone healing.
