Pediatric Heart Transplantation (EP Video)
Kathy Spitzer provides a general overview of pediatric heart transplantation (29:54).
Impact of Continuous Deterioration of Kidney Function 6 to 8 Months After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome
Preprocedural chronic kidney disease and contrast-induced acute kidney injury are predictors of in-hospital death and long-term mortality. However, neither the time course of kidney function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) nor the relation between the time course of kidney function and prognosis has been adequately studied.

Five-Year Experience with Mini-Volume Priming in Infants ≤5 kg: Safety of Significantly Smaller Transfusion Volumes
This retrospective study was designed to compare safety and transfusion volumes between the mini-volume priming (MP) and conventional priming (CP) methods.
Management of Perioperative Heart Failure
This review aims to provide conceptual framework by selectively presenting recent knowledge and advances in acute heart failure therapies including drugs (inotropes, diuretics) and devices (mechanical assistance, biventricular pacing, ultrafiltration).
A Combined Ultrafiltration Strategy During Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study with Clinical Outcomes
The combined use of ultrafiltration of prime solution, zero-balance ultrafiltration, and MUF strategy is associated with a modest improvement in pulmonary function compared with the combination of conventional and MUF strategies in the early postoperative period, but the principal clinical outcomes are similar.
Red Cell Transfusion Management for Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease
In this study we evaluate the effects of red cell transfusion on mortality and morbidity on patients with congenital heart disease at the time of cardiac surgery.
Increasing Mean Arterial Pressure during Cardiac Surgery does not Reduce the Rate of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury
Maintaining a high level of MAP (on average) during normothermic CPB does not reduce the risk of postoperative AKI.
