Transplantation of Autologous Bone Marrow-Derived Cells Into the Myocardium of Patients Undergoing Coronary Bypass
We have assessed the safety and feasibility of intramyocardial transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived cells in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Role of Hemodilutional Anemia and Transfusion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Renal Injury After Coronary Revascularization: Implications on Operative Outcome
We aimed to 1) elucidate if and how this relation is modulated by the duration of CPB (TCPB) and on-pump packed red blood cell transfusions and 2) to quantify the impact of post-CPB renal injury on operational outcome and resource utilization.
Venous Drainage Method for Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Single-Access Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: Siphon and Vacuum-Assisted Drainage
We retrospectively examined the use of VAVD in SAMICS in our hospital for this report. VAVD has been performed according to a VAVD protocol since 2000.
Mini-Dose Pump-Prime Aprotinin Inhibited Enhanced Fibrinolytic Activity and Reduced Blood Loss and Transfusion Requirements After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effects of mini-dose pump prime only aprotinin (70 mg) on the hemostatic parameters and blood transfusion requirements in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
Cold-Induced Fluid Extravasation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Piglets Can be Counteracted by Use of Iso-Oncotic Prime
This study aimed to compare whether iso-oncotic priming solutions, in contrast to crystalloids, could reduce the cold-induced fluid extravasation during cardiopulmonary bypass in piglets.
A Novel Protocol of Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion With Intermittent Pressure Augmentation for Brain Protection
We examined a novel protocol of retrograde cerebral perfusion with intermittent pressure augmentation to improve the clinical usefulness of this procedure, in a canine model, because a high retrograde cerebral perfusion pressure may be required to open cerebral vessels.
Mechanical Ventilation Affects Inflammatory Mediators in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial
We examined the hypothesis that high tidal volumes and low levels of positive end-expiratory pressure might worsen the inflammatory response associated to cardiopulmonary bypass.
Should I Change to OPCAB?
Much is written about the benefits of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). Is it applicable to all practices?
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Concentration on the Viability and Proliferation of Alveolar Bone Cells: An in Vitro Study
These in vitro results support the view that variations in the PRP concentrations might influence the bone formation within the PRP-treated bone grafts.
Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Glucose Homeostasis After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
This study aimed to determine the contribution of cardiopulmonary bypass to hyperglycaemia after coronary artery bypass.
Relationship Between Granulocyte Elastase and C3a Under Protamine Dosing in On-Pump Cardiac Surgery
This study indicates that GEL does not increase after protamine administration and that complement concentration does not directly affect GEL release.
Maintenance of Life With Intravenous Oxygen: Article from a Pioneer
Dr. Lillehei with Dr. DeWall then built and clinically established a heart lung machine using a bubble oxygenator. This became the standard method for oxygenating blood in the heart lung machine until the membrane oxygenator was perfected approximately twenty years ago.
