Predictors of Acute Kidney Injury in Cardiac Transplantation
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an outcome that represents a significant increase in morbidity and mortality rates; however, limited information exists about the incidence of AKI after cardiac transplantation.
The Association of Acute Kidney Injury and Atrial Fibrillation after Cardiac Surgery in an Asian Prospective Cohort Study
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery are common occurrences and increase patient morbidity and mortality.
Renal Protection In Cardiovascular Surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most relevant complications after major surgery and is a predictor of mortality.
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Frozen Shoulder: A Case Report
Frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that limits movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule.
Intra-Articular Injection of Photo-Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
This pilot study assessed the feasibility, safety and symptomatic and functional change following injections of photo-activated platelet-rich plasma (PA-PRP) compared to hyaluronic acid (HA) in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Prospective Study
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of different numbers of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applications on pain and physical function in grade three knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Using Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Complex Fistulas
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of autologous fibrin gel rich in platelet growth factors for the treatment of complex perianal fistulas.
Incidence of Platelet Dysfunction by Thromboelastography-Platelet Mapping in Children Supported with ECMO: A Pilot Retrospective Study
Bleeding complications are common and decrease the odds of survival in children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The primary objective of this pilot study was to determine the incidence and magnitude of platelet dysfunction according to thromboelastography (TEG(®))-platelet mapping (PM) testing.
Cerebrovascular Events After No-Touch Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, Conventional Side-Clamp Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass, and Proximal Anastomotic Devices: A Meta-Analysis
Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) has been shown to reduce the risk of neurologic complications as compared to coronary artery bypass grafting performed with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Impact of Mild Preoperative Renal Insufficiency on In-Hospital and Long-Term Outcomes After Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Retrospective Propensity Score Matching Analysis
This single-centre, retrospective propensity score matching study aimed to evaluate the impact of mild preoperative renal insufficiency on in-hospital and long-term outcomes after first isolated OPCAB surgery.
Aortic and/or Mitral Valve Surgery in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Performed Via a Minimally Invasive Approach
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in the setting of left-sided valvular heart disease is common, and significantly increases the risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing aortic and/or mitral valve surgery.
Percutaneous Assist Devices in Acute Myocardial Infarction with Cardiogenic Shock: Review, Meta-Analysis
This aim of this paper was to assess the impact of percutaneous cardiac support in cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI), treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
