Intraoperative Fluid Balance During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Effects of Different Mean Arterial Pressures
This study investigated whether two levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP) during cardiopulmonary bypass did influence per-operative fluid shifts.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Enhances the Initial Mobilization of Circulation-Derived Cells for Tendon Healing
In this study, we injected platelet-rich plasma (PRP) containing various kinds of growth factors into the wounded area of the patellar tendon, and compared the effects on activation of circulation-derived cells and enhancement of tendon healing with a control group (no PRP injection).
Benefits and Risks of Aprotinin Use During Cardiac Surgery
Aprotinin is a serine protease inhibitor with antithrombotic, antifibrinolytic, and antiinflammatory effects.
Factors for Successful Weaning From a Percutaneous Cardiopulmonary Support System (PCPS) in Patients With Low Cardiac Output Syndrome After Cardiovascular Surgery
The objective of this study was to analyze the early predictive factors for successful weaning from a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) in patients with low cardiac output syndrome after cardiovascular surgery.
Results of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery in 143 Patients and Comparison of 30-Day Mortality to Results of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) is controversial.
Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Blood Flow in the Aortic Arch During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
To better understand the mechanism of stroke during cardiopulmonary bypass, it is necessary to obtain information on the location of turbulence, wall pressure, and flow distribution within the aortic arch.
Inflammatory and Hemostatic Activation in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Off-pump surgery may place patients at higher risk of postoperative hypercoagulability because of normal platelet function, intraoperative thrombin generation, less fibrinolytic activity, and lack of vascular protection.
Percutaneous Intervention on the Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts-Long-Term Outcomes
The objective of the study was to compare the long-term outcomes of DES versus bare metal stent (BMS) in this population and to determine the predictors of outcomes.

The Effect of Preprocessing Stored Red Blood Cells on Neonates Undergoing Corrective Cardiac Surgery
This study compared the effect of unprocessed and processed packed red blood cells (PRBCs) with the continuous autotransfusion system (CATS) during neonate heart surgery.
Cerebral Air Emboli Differentially Alter Outcome After Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Rats Compared With Normal Circulation
This study was designed to investigate the effect of escalating volumes of CAE on survival and neurologic and histologic outcomes. In addition, the effect of xenon administration during CAE on these outcomes was determined.
Early Experience and Results of Bone Graft Enriched With Autologous Platelet Gel for Recalcitrant Nonunions of Lower Extremity
The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility and outcome of surgical treatment in recalcitrant nonunions of a lower extremity with bone graft enriched with autologous platelet gel (APG).
