Dideco Compact Advanced Autotransfusion System
The Dideco Compact A (Advanced) is a compact, portable autotransfusion system which utilizes a Latham bowl.
Haemoscope TEG® 5000 Hemostasis Analyzer
The TEG® system is comprised of the TEG® analyzer and the TEG® analytical software, which together provide a complete picture of the formation and dissolution of the clot, showing the balance or imbalance of the two systems. Haemoscope's TEG® analyzer is the only hemostasis analyzer available on the market that follows the reliable and proven model developed by Prof. Helmut Hartert in Germany in the 1940's.
Blood Conservation Strategies to Reduce the Need for Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Critically Ill Patients
Although blood transfusion is a life-saving therapy, evidence suggests that it may be associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.
Benefits and Risks of Aprotinin Use During Cardiac Surgery
Aprotinin is a serine protease inhibitor with antithrombotic, antifibrinolytic, and antiinflammatory effects.
Factors for Successful Weaning From a Percutaneous Cardiopulmonary Support System (PCPS) in Patients With Low Cardiac Output Syndrome After Cardiovascular Surgery
The objective of this study was to analyze the early predictive factors for successful weaning from a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) in patients with low cardiac output syndrome after cardiovascular surgery.
International Variation in the Use of Blood Transfusion in Patients With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
The purpose of this study was to determine international patterns of blood transfusion in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Percutaneous Intervention on the Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts-Long-Term Outcomes
The objective of the study was to compare the long-term outcomes of DES versus bare metal stent (BMS) in this population and to determine the predictors of outcomes.
Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Blood Flow in the Aortic Arch During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
To better understand the mechanism of stroke during cardiopulmonary bypass, it is necessary to obtain information on the location of turbulence, wall pressure, and flow distribution within the aortic arch.
Inflammatory and Hemostatic Activation in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Off-pump surgery may place patients at higher risk of postoperative hypercoagulability because of normal platelet function, intraoperative thrombin generation, less fibrinolytic activity, and lack of vascular protection.
Results of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery in 143 Patients and Comparison of 30-Day Mortality to Results of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) is controversial.
Utility of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Growth Factors Bone in the Bone Defects
We present the results obtained with the use of platelet-rich plasma and a hydroxyapatite and bovine collagen graft in the management of bone defects.
