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.
Femoral Versus Aortic Cannulation for Surgery of Chronic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm
In this study, the impact of the arterial cannulation site on the perioperative results after proximal aortic surgery is evaluated.
Circulatory Arrest and Low-Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass Alter CREB Phosphorylation in Piglet Brain
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest followed by postbypass recovery on the phosphorylation state of transcription factor, cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB), in the striatum of neonatal brain.
Using a Miniaturized Circuit and an Asanguineous Prime to Reduce Neutrophil-Mediated Organ Dysfunction Following Infant Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We determined whether using a miniaturized circuit and an asanguineous prime attenuated the post-bypass inflammatory response, and improved right ventricular and pulmonary function.
High Flow Rates During Modified Ultrafiltration Decrease Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity and Venous Oxygen Saturation in Infants
We investigated the effects of different blood flow rates during modified ultrafiltration on the cerebral hemodynamics of children with weights above and below 10 kg.
Platelet Preservation With a Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitor in a Porcine Cardiopulmonary Bypass Model
We tested whether administration of FK633, a short-acting glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, before median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass was able to interrupt the platelet activation loop and thereby preserve platelet number and function.
Can Autologous Thrombin With a Rest Fraction of Ethanol be Used Safely for Activation of Concentrated Autologous Platelets Applied on Nerves?
The use of concentrated platelet-rich plasma (cPRP) as a source of growth factors is reported to be beneficial for an enhanced osteogenesis in spine surgery.
Propofol is Cardioprotective in a Clinically Relevant Model of Normothermic Blood Cardioplegic Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Propofol may therefore be a useful adjunct to cardioplegic solutions as well as being an appropriate anesthetic for cardiac surgery.
