Observation of an Injectable Tissue-Engineered Bone Constructed With Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow Stromal Cells
To construct an injectable tissue-engineered bone graft with fibrin glue (FG), autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) cultured in vitro and study its biological characteristics and microscopic structures.
Management of Air Embolism During HeartMate XVE Exchange
We present a case in which a 45-year-old man supported by a HeartMate(R) XVE left ventricular assist device required a pump exchange due to failure of the device motor.
Body Perfusion in Surgery of the Aortic Arch
We propose a new cannulation and perfusion technique for aortic arch surgery, in order to achieve continuous antegrade total-body perfusion under moderate hypothermia.
Bivalirudin Anticoagulation for Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We present the case of a patient with heparin hypersensitivity who was anticoagulated with bivalirudin during cardiopulmonary bypass for coronary artery bypass grafting.
Transfusion-Free Cardiac Reoperation in an 11-kg Jehovah’s Witness Child by Use of a Minimized Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit
Herein, we describe the design of a perfusion system for a complex cardiovascular reoperation in an 11-kg Jehovah's Witness patient. The goal of safe, transfusion-free surgery was achieved chiefly by minimizing the priming volume of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit to 200 mL while providing adequate flow and standard safety features.
Platelet-Rich Plasma: Growth Factors and Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
The purpose of this study was to analyze the growth factors in PRP and to study the effects of PRP on monocyte cytokine release and lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) generation.
A Propensity Score Analysis on the Effect of Eliminating Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The aim of the study was to investigate if the off-pump technique could reduce the hospital mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting when compared to the standard cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technique.
The Regenerative Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Meniscal Cells In Vitro and Its In Vivo Application with Biodegradable Gelatin Hydrogel
The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances meniscal tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo.
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma at the Cellular Level on Healing of Autologous Bone-Grafted Mandibular Defects in Dogs
This study describes the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) at the cellular level on immediate autologous bone grafts in dog mandibles.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Activity on Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation by Autologous Bone
This work aims to evaluate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on an implant site of peculiar clinical impact, such as sinus augmentation.
Retransfusion of Pericardial Blood Does Not Trigger Systemic Coagulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated to which extent retransfusion of pericardial blood triggers systemic coagulation during CPB.
Early Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Healing in Combination With an Osteoconductive Material in Rat Cranial Defects
We hypothesize that PRP exerts its beneficial effect on bone regeneration within the first and second week after application in a bone defect combined with an osteoconductive material.
