Treatment of a Refractory Skin Ulcer Using Punch Graft and Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
Combining platelet-rich plasma and skin graft enhances the efficacy of treating chronic diabetic wounds by enhancing healing rate and decreasing recurrence rate.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment of Sports-Related Severe Acute Hamstring Injuries
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection at the site of severe acute hamstring injury increases the healing rate and shortens the time to return to play.
The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Arthroscopic Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair: A Clinical Study with 12-Month Follow-Up
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of platelet-rich plasma on arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair.
Safety and Efficacy of Prothrombin Complex Concentrate as First-Line Treatment in Bleeding after Cardiac Surgery
Bleeding after cardiac surgery requiring surgical reexploration and blood component transfusion is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Although prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) has been used satisfactorily in bleeding disorders, studies on its efficacy and safety after cardiopulmonary bypass are limited.
Using Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Complex Fistulas
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of autologous fibrin gel rich in platelet growth factors for the treatment of complex perianal fistulas.
Intra-Articular Injection of Photo-Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
This pilot study assessed the feasibility, safety and symptomatic and functional change following injections of photo-activated platelet-rich plasma (PA-PRP) compared to hyaluronic acid (HA) in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Frozen Shoulder: A Case Report
Frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that limits movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule.
Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Prospective Study
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of different numbers of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applications on pain and physical function in grade three knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Incidence of Platelet Dysfunction by Thromboelastography-Platelet Mapping in Children Supported with ECMO: A Pilot Retrospective Study
Bleeding complications are common and decrease the odds of survival in children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The primary objective of this pilot study was to determine the incidence and magnitude of platelet dysfunction according to thromboelastography (TEG(®))-platelet mapping (PM) testing.
Autotransfusion, a Safe and Underutilized Alternative to Allogeneic Transfusion (EP Video)
John Riveria discusses the current trends and regulatory updates in Autotransfusion (31:12 minutes).
Predicting Bleeding Risk by Platelet Function Testing in Patients Undergoing Heart Surgery
Predicting bleeding events in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) represents an unmet medical need that may improve CABG outcomes.
Postoperative Blood Transfusion is an Independent Predictor of Acute Kidney Injury in Cardiac Surgery Patients
The study was designed to assess the incidence of cute kidney injury (AKI) and associated risk factors in patients undergoing CPB ancillary to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve surgery, and combined CABG and valve surgery.
