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.
Mortality Associated With Aprotinin During 5 Years Following Coronary Artery Bypass
To contrast long-term all-cause mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery according to use of 2 lysine analog antifibrinolytics (aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid), the serine protease inhibitor aprotinin, or no antibleeding agent.
Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Dormant Corneal Ulcers
To investigate the potential role of autologous platelet-rich plasma in promoting healing in dormant corneal ulcers.
Calcium Sulfate and Platelet-Rich Plasma Make a Novel Osteoinductive Biomaterial for Bone Regeneration
With the present study we introduce a novel and simple biomaterial able to induce regeneration of bone. We theorized that nourishing a bone defect with calcium and with a large amount of activated platelets may initiate a series of biological processes that culminate in bone regeneration.
Trends in Intra-Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation: Comparison of a 669 Record Australian Dataset With the Multinational Benchmark Counterpulsation Outcomes Registry
The aim of this study was to review and describe indications for intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) use and identify the impact these have on outcomes at an Australian cardiothoracic tertiary referral hospital. A secondary aim was comparison of the Australian practice with a large multinational IABP data registry.
Venous Line Filtration: A novel Technique for Cases Involving Inferior Vena Caval and Right Atrial Tumor and Associated Thrombus: A Two-Case Series
We have shown that venous line filtration with vacuum-assisted venous drainage can be performed safely, and should be considered in cases where there is tumor thrombus in the vena cava or right atrium, which may threaten venous return.
Heparin Sensitivity Test for Patients Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract: Anticoagulation for the open heart surgery patient undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is achieved with the use of heparin. The industry standard of […]
Comparison of Hollow-Fiber Membrane Oxygenators With Different Perfusion Modes During Normothermic and Hypothermic CPB in a Simulated Neonatal Model
The objectives of this investigation were (1) to compare two hollow-fiber membrane oxygenators (Capiox Baby RX versus Lilliput 1-D901) in terms of pressure drops and surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE) during normothermic and hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a simulated neonatal model; and (2) to evaluate pulsatile and non-pulsatile perfusion modes for each oxygenator in terms of SHE levels.
Perfusion Techniques For Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy Under Deep Hypothermia Circulatory Arrest: A Case Series
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a complicated surgical procedure that is an effective treatment in reducing pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Concentration-Dependent Effect of Abciximab on Platelets and Neutrophils in a Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated whether abciximab influenced platelet activation and platelet interaction with neutrophils and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) model.
Dynamic Bubble Trap Can Replace an Arterial Filter During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
The arterial filter (AF) and the dynamic bubble trap (DBT) reduce the number of air microbubbles passing through these devices. The aim of the study was to confirm that the DBT diminishes microbubbles in the arterial line similar to, or better than, the AF, and can replace it.
