Perioperative Perfusion Strategies for Optimal Fluid Management in Liver Transplant Recipients With Renal Insufficiency
With careful evaluation and monitoring in addition to appropriate intervention, a uniformly good outcome may be possible even for these most complicated patients.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Strategy During Concomitant Surgical Treatment of Mitral Valve Disease and Atrial Fibrillation
The conduct of CPB and myocardial protection play a central role in the surgical strategy by improving intraoperative feasibility and effectiveness of radio frequency ablation and preventing some of the potential postoperative complications related to the procedure.
Normal and Abnormal Trans-Oxygenator Pressure Gradients During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
A prospective study was conducted with the aims of 1) determining the normal trans-oxygenator pressure gradient characteristics for a range of oxygenators and 2) determining the characteristics, incidence and outcome of abnormally raised gradients.
Leucocyte Depletion During Cardiac Surgery: A Comparison of Different Filtration Strategies
However, our laboratory results suggest that leucocyte filtration at low flow and pressure conditions is associated with less leucocyte damage and less release of elastase.

The Impact of Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Disease on the Intraoperative Course of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Although CAS does not appear to be the major source of cerebral ischemia, it involves significant comorbidity.

A prospective study was conducted with the aims of 1) determining the normal trans-oxygenator pressure gradient characteristics for a range of oxygenators and 2) determining the characteristics, incidence and outcome of abnormally raised gradients.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a major side effect secondary to the administration of heparin. This syndrome is serious and potentially life threatening.

Negative Fluid Displacement: An Alternative Method to Assess Patency of Arterial Line Cannulation
With increased use of femoral cannulation for minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures, this RAP technique can enhance the perfusionist's and the surgeon's ability to safely perform bypass in the presence of higher dissection risk.
