Comparison of Hollow-Fiber Membrane Oxygenators With Different Perfusion Modes During Normothermic and Hypothermic CPB in a Simulated Neonatal Model
The objectives of this investigation were (1) to compare two hollow-fiber membrane oxygenators (Capiox Baby RX versus Lilliput 1-D901) in terms of pressure drops and surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE) during normothermic and hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a simulated neonatal model; and (2) to evaluate pulsatile and non-pulsatile perfusion modes for each oxygenator in terms of SHE levels.

Adolescents often fare poorly after heart transplantation. However, whether the effect of age varies according to the etiology of heart failure is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that age-related heart transplantation outcomes are different in patients with myocarditis and congenital heart disease (CHD).
