Combined Treatment of Ulinastatin and Tranexamic Acid Provides Beneficial Effects by Inhibiting Inflammatory and Fibrinolytic Response in Patients Undergoing Heart Valve Replacement Surgery
We investigated the effect of ulinastatin and tranexamic acid administered alone or in combination on inflammatory cytokines and fibrinolytic system in patients undergoing heart valve replacement surgery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Population Pharmacokinetics of Tranexamic Acid in Adults Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The objectives of this study were to investigate the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of tranexamic acid (TA) given with either low- or high-dose continuous infusion schemes in adult cardiac surgery patients during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Autologous Blood Derived Signaling Proteins for Tendon and Muscle Therapy in Sports Medicine Higher Concentration of Growth Factors and Cytokines in Orthokine VS in ACP
We compared 2 none-PRP techniques: ORTHOKINE (Oe) for Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS) and ACP (Ax) for autologous plasma (AP)
Comparison of Two Doses of Tranexamic Acid in Adults Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The optimal dose of tranexamic acid (TA) is still an issue. The authors compared two doses of TA during cardiac surgery in a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized study.
Comparison of Epsilon Aminocaproic Acid and Tranexamic Acid in Thoracic Aortic Surgery: Clinical Efficacy and Safety
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) in patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery.
Sensory Improvement of Leprosy Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Treated with Perineural Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma
This study shows that perineural PRP injection could promote improvement of peripheral neuropathy sensibility in patients with leprosy.
Implementation of an Institutional Protocol for Rational Use of Blood Products and Its Impact on Postoperative of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
We evaluated the short-term effects of implementation of a protocol for the rational use of blood products in the perioperative period of cardiac surgery.
Multimodality Imaging of Right-Sided (Tricuspid Valve) Papillary Fibroelastoma: Recognition of a Surgically Remediable Disease
Presentation of an increasingly recognized right-sided primary valve tumor of clinical importance: the tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma (PF).

Tricuspid valve Endocarditis Following Central Venous Cannulation: The Increasing Problem of Catheter Related Infection
We report a case of tricuspid valve endocarditis, probably secondary to injury of the anterior tricuspid leaflet by the guide wire or the CVC that required open heart surgery with vegetectomy and repair of the tricuspid valve.
