Robotic-Assisted Endoscopic Atrial Septal Defect Closure: Analysis of 115 Cases in a Single Center
To summarize the experience with the application of robotic technique in totally endoscopic atrial septal defect closure in a single center
Total Artificial Heart
In this review, we discuss the history of the TAH, its development and clinical application, implications for anaesthetic management, published outcomes and the future outlook for TAHs.
Heart Rescue: The Role of Mechanical Circulatory Support in the Management of Severe Refractory Cardiogenic Shock
This article will review novel strategies in the management of cardiogenic shock including percutaneous MCS (intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, TandemHeart, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) and surgically implanted devices (CentriMag) that are used for short-term management
Effect of Adenosine-Regulating Agent Acadesine on Morbidity and Mortality Associated with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: The RED-CABG Randomized Controlled Trial
Ischemia/reperfusion injury remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Prolonged Heparin-Free Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Multiple Injured Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury
Based on our experience, we recommend the use of heparin-free ECMO in multiple injured patients with pulmonary failure that is not successfully controlled by lung-protective ventilation even if severe TBI is present.
Improved Perioperative Neurological Monitoring of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patients Reduces the Incidence of Postoperative Delirium: the Haga Brain Care Strategy
Postoperative delirium is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiovascular surgery.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation Trends for Pediatric Respiratory Failure and Central Nervous System Injury
Guidelines regarding arterial cannula site and cannula site-specific risks of central nervous system (CNS) injury for pediatric patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)support are lacking.
Transesophageal Echocardiography Guided Cannulation for Peripheral Cardiopulmonary Bypass During Robotic Cardiac Surgery
The purpose of this study was to evaluate TEE guided cannulation for peripheral CPB during robotic cardiac surgery.
An Evaluation of Factors Affecting Activated Coagulation Time
All these observations suggest that failure to achieve an adequate ACT is, in general, not an indicator of AT deficiency but could be affected by high platelet counts and low hemoglobin levels.
First Experience with the Ultra Compact Mobile Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation System Cardiohelp in Interhospital Transport
In patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure extracorporeal assist devices are to support patients during resuscitation, for transportation, until organ recovery, and as bridge to further therapeutic modalities.
