How to Handle Remote Access Perfusion for Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery
Despite careful patient selection, technical problems and complications occur with the use of this sophisticated technique, and we aim to describe these problems and suggest solutions.
Strategies for Temporary Mechanical Support: Contemporary Experience with Pulsatile and Non-pulsatile Support Systems
We reviewed our experience with pulsatile versus non-pulsatile temporary mechanical support at our institution to determine optimal strategy for survival.
Recombinant Human Antithrombin III Restores Heparin Responsiveness and Decreases Activation of Coagulation in Heparin-Resistant Patients During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We sought to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human antithrombin III for restoration of heparin responsiveness in heparin-resistant patients scheduled for cardiac surgery.
Company History of Perfusion.com, Inc.
Perfusion.com was founded in 1995 by Bryan V. Lich, who was then a perfusion student at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston Texas.
Influence of Platelet-Rich Plasma Added to Xenogeneic Bone Grafts in Periimplant Defects: A Vital Fluorescence Study in Dogs
The goal of this study was to investigate whether the addition of PRP to xenogeneic bone grafts would increase the rate of bone formation in dogs.
Thoracic Lavage in Accidental Hypothermia With Cardiac Arrest : Report of a Case and Review of the Literature
This paper presents the physiological rationale, technique, and role for TL in accidental hypothermia with cardiac arrest.
Strategies to Reduce Hemostatic Activation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We evaluated whether a modified protocol for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) could reduced the systemic hemostatic activation associated with this procedure.
Enhancement of Syndesmotic Fusion Rates in Total Ankle Arthroplasty With the Use of Autologous Platelet Concentrate
The improved rate of distal tibiofibular fusion may be attributable to the increased presence of growth factors provided by an autologous platelet concentrate.
Steroid Use Before Pediatric Cardiac Operations Using Cardiopulmonary Bypass: An International Survey of 36 Centers
Steroid administration before pediatric cardiac operations using cardiopulmonary bypass has been shown to modulate the inflammatory response and reduce myocardial injury.
Enhancement of Syndesmotic Fusion Rates in Total Ankle Arthroplasty With the Use of Autologous Platelet Concentrate
The improved rate of distal tibiofibular fusion may be attributable to the increased presence of growth factors provided by an autologous platelet concentrate.
Heparin Influences Human Platelet Behavior in Cardiac Surgery With or Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass
: The objective was to investigate whether the platelet dysfunction in cardiac surgery is caused by hemodilution or by shear stress due to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Antiphospholipid Syndrome in Cardiac Surgery – An Underestimated Coagulation Disorder?
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare coagulation disorder associated with recurrent arterial and venous thrombotic events.
