Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass Adaptations for Long-Term Survival of Baboons Undergoing Pulmonary Artery Replacement
In the evaluation of pulmonary artery tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs), pediatric CPB methods are adapted to accommodate the animals’ unique physiology enabling survival up to 6 months until elective sacrifice.
Improving Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Does Continuous Blood Gas Monitoring Have a Role to Play?
The CDI ™ 500 (Terumo Cardiovascular Systems, Ann Arbor, MI) is an in-line blood gas monitoring device that has been used in clinical practice for over a decade. Few randomized studies have evaluated the value of this device with respect to improved perfusion management.

Variation in Use of Blood Transfusion in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Perioperative blood transfusions are costly and have safety concerns. As a result, there have been multiple initiatives to reduce transfusion use. However, the degree to which perioperative transfusion rates vary among hospitals is unknown.
The Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Transplants for Tendon Healing In Vitro
In this study, we investigated the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow-derived stromal cell (BMSC)-seeded interposition in an in vitro canine tendon repair model.
Effectiveness of Two Methods for Preparation of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma: An Experimental Study in Rabbits
The purpose of this study was to compare the quantity and quality of platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) samples prepared using either the single or the double-centrifugation protocol.
