Heparin Sensitivity Test for Patients Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract: Anticoagulation for the open heart surgery patient undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is achieved with the use of heparin. The industry standard of […]
Arterio-Venous Gradients of Free Energy Change for Assessment of Systemic and Splanchnic Perfusion in Cardiac Surgery Patients
aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between gradients of free energy change, and the more commonly used parameter for the evaluation of the adequacy of organ perfusion, such as oxygen-extraction in patients undergoing valve replacement surgery using normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Osteogenic Potential of Platelet-Rich Plasma Combined With Cells and Artificial Bone
To investigate the ability of platelet-rich plasma(PRP) combined with cells and artificial bone in accelerating the repair of bone defect.
Venous Line Filtration: A novel Technique for Cases Involving Inferior Vena Caval and Right Atrial Tumor and Associated Thrombus: A Two-Case Series
We have shown that venous line filtration with vacuum-assisted venous drainage can be performed safely, and should be considered in cases where there is tumor thrombus in the vena cava or right atrium, which may threaten venous return.
Perfusion Techniques For Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy Under Deep Hypothermia Circulatory Arrest: A Case Series
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a complicated surgical procedure that is an effective treatment in reducing pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Vacuum-Assisted Venous Drainage in Extrathoracic Cardiopulmonary Bypass Management During Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study is to report our experience with extrathoracic CPB with VAVD application (on CPB) during open-heart MICS.
Concentration-Dependent Effect of Abciximab on Platelets and Neutrophils in a Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated whether abciximab influenced platelet activation and platelet interaction with neutrophils and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) model.
Dynamic Bubble Trap Can Replace an Arterial Filter During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
The arterial filter (AF) and the dynamic bubble trap (DBT) reduce the number of air microbubbles passing through these devices. The aim of the study was to confirm that the DBT diminishes microbubbles in the arterial line similar to, or better than, the AF, and can replace it.
Mechanisms of Pulmonary Dysfunction After On-Pump and Off-Pump Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study
Pulmonary dysfunction following cardiac surgery is believed to be caused, at least in part, by a lung vascular injury and/or atelectasis following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) perfusion and collapse of non-ventilated lungs.
Intraoperative Quality Control in the Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The objective of the paper is: to compare main peri and postoperative results of operations with and without CPB; to establish total number of the bypass grafts revised on the basis of TTFM results in both groups of the examinees; to evaluate sensitivity, specificity, predictive rate and accuracy of TTFM with regards to the intraoperative coronary angiography (golden standard).
Washing of Stored Red Blood Cells by an Autotransfusion Device Before Transfusion
. The objective of this study was to determine the quality of RBCs, after cell washing in comparison to untreated RBCs.
The Use of Porous beta-Tricalcium Phosphate Blocks With Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Onlay Bone Graft Biomaterial
An experimental study of rabbit calvaria evaluated the suitability of porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) block as a biomaterial for onlay bone grafting and determined whether the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can accelerate bone formation inside the pores of the beta-TCP block.
