A Novel Anti-Pollution Filter for Volatile Agents During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Preliminary Tests.
The authors' aim was to create and to assess the performance of a prototype filter for volatile agents to be connected to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit to avoid the emission of volatile agents to the operating room, and also to the environment without causing damage to the membrane oxygenator.

Poor Anticoagulation Relates to Extended Access Times for Cardioversion and is Associated with Long-Term Major Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events
Patients undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) for atrial fibrillation have a temporarily increased risk of thromboembolism.
Anticoagulation During Pregnancy: Evolving Strategies With a Focus on Mechanical Valves
Development of anticoagulant agents that are homogeneous, efficacious, safe to the fetus, and not affected by physiological perturbations of pregnancy will have tremendous effect on the outcomes of pregnancy in women who require anticoagulation.
Poor Anticoagulation Relates to Extended Access Times for Cardioversion and is Associated with Long-Term Major Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events
Patients undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) for atrial fibrillation have a temporarily increased risk of thromboembolism.
Acidosis induced by carbon dioxide insufflation decreases heparin potency: a risk factor for thrombus formation.
In this in vitro study, we assessed the influence of acidosis and hypothermia on heparin potency and thrombin formation.
The Impact of Mild Induced Hypothermia on the Rate of Transfusion and the Mortality in Severely Injured Patients: A Retrospective Multi-Center Study
The influences on coagulopathy and bleeding tendency in severely injured patients (SIP) with concomitant traumatic brain injury are most widely unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify the effect of mild IH in SIP with concomitant severe traumatic brain injuries on transfusion rate and mortality.
What is the Impact of Preoperative Aspirin Administration on Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
This paper reviewed whether continuation of administration of preoperative aspirin until the day of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) could minimize postoperative mortality, prevalence of postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) with or without influence on postoperative bleeding, packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion and reoperation for bleeding.
Bleeding After Perfusion for Open Heart Surgery. Importance of Unneutralized Heparin and its Proper Correction
An anticoagulant is essential in extracorporeal circulations to maintain the fluidity of the blood and to protect the platelets and plasma-coagulation factors in the pump-oxygenator circuit.
Short and Mid-Term Outcome of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients with Advanced Age
The aim of our study was to evaluate whether early and mid-term results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) were worse in patients over 85 year old compared with the younger population.
Comparison of Approaches for Stroke Prophylaxis in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation: Network Meta-Analyses of Randomized Controlled Trials
We conducted the current analyses by combining efficacy and safety characteristics of all FDA approved stroke prophylaxis treatment strategies for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Is the Ross Procedure a Riskier Operation? Perioperative Outcome Comparison with Mechanical Aortic Valve Replacement in a Propensity-Matched Cohort
The aim of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes in young adults following isolated Ross procedure versus mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR) in a high-volume centre.
