Changes in Platelet Aggregation During Dardiopulmonary Bypass: Comparison of Poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate and Heparin as a Circuit Coating Material
In this study, a CPB system coated with poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate (X coating) was used to ascertain whether platelet aggregation could be suppressed during CPB, and a comparison was made between X coating and ordinary (covalently bonded) heparin coating.
Optimal pH Strategy for Selective Cerebral Perfusion
Selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) affords brain protection superior to hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) for prolonged aortic arch procedures.
Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Periodontal Defect Treatment After Extraction of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a material containing many autologous growth factors that may be used in repairing and preventing periodontal complications at the distal root of the second molar adjacent to the extracted third molar.

A Method to Reduce Allogeneic Blood Exposure and Hospital Costs While Preserving Clotting Factor Concentration After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The Hemobag® technology allows the open-heart team to safely concentrate the residual CPB circuit contents and quickly return a high volume of clotting factors and blood cells back to the patient.
Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery: A United States Multicenter Trial
In a prospective phase II Food and Drug Administration trial, robotic mitral valve repairs were performed in 112 patients at 10 centers by using the da Vinci surgical system.
Assessment of Hemostatic Activation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With Bivalirudin: Results of a Pilot Study
This study was conducted to assess the effects of the currently suggested protocol for bivalirudin on hemostatic activation during cardiopulmonary bypass with and without cardiotomy suction.

Stromal Stem Cells and Platelet-Rich Plasma Improve Bone Allograft Integration
Our goal was to test whether the combination of stromal stem cells and platelet-rich plasma is able to increase massive allograft integration in a large animal model with sacrifice at 4 months.
The Effect of Extracorporeal Life Support on the Brain: Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This article reviews the mechanisms of brain injury associated with cardiopulmonary bypass.
