Antegrade Versus Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion in Relation to Postoperative Complications Following Aortic Arch Surgery for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A
Aortic arch surgery is impossible without the temporary interruption of brain perfusion and therefore is associated with high incidence of neurologic injury. The deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), in combination with antegrade or retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP), is a well-established method of brain protection in aortic arch surgery. In this retrospective study, we compare the two methods of brain perfusion.
Platelet-Rich Plasma and Connective Tissue Grafts in the Treatment of Gingival Recessions: A Histometric Study in Dogs
The aim of this study was to histometrically evaluate the healing process of gingival recessions treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in combination with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and to compare it to that obtained with SCTG alone.
Medtronic Recalls Heparin-Coated Bypass Equipment
Medtronic Inc said on Wednesday it was voluntarily recalling some disposable devices used during cardiac bypass surgery because they have been found to be coated with contaminated traces of the blood-thinner heparin.

Absence of Cognitive Decline One Year After Coronary Bypass Surgery: Comparison to Nonsurgical and Healthy Controls
Determination of possible cognitive impairment due to surgery or use of cardiopulmonary bypass is complicated by numerous factors, including use of appropriate comparison groups and consideration of practice effects in cognitive testing.
Reduced Transfusion Requirements With a Closed Cardiopulmonary Bypass System
The aim of this investigation is to reduce blood transfusion in cardiac surgery patients with preoperative conditions predictive for transfusion requirements.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
This study evaluated the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in end-to-end neurorrhaphy.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Regeneration in Dentistry: A Systematic Review
To review systematically the reported effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on bone regeneration.
Effects of Zero-Balanced Ultrafiltration on Procalcitonin and Respiratory Function After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
has been suggested that high-volume, zero-balanced ultrafiltration (ZBUF) facilitates clearance of inflammatory mediators and improves post-operative pulmonary function.
Establishing An Association Between A Peri-Operative Perfusion Score System (PerfSCORE) and Post-Operative Patient Morbidity/Mortality During CPB Cardiac Surgery
The purpose was to create a new method for evaluating the quality of care the perfusionist provides during CPB procedures and to deduce whether it predicts patient morbidity and mortality.
