Saving Every Last Drop: The Total Impact of a Prescriptive Oxygenator Protocol (EP Video)
Jason Penn discusses his experience with prescriptive oxygenation (31:00 minutes).
Meat Allergies: Should we be Asking More? (EP Video)
Ty Walker discusses a case that was presented to our group of a rare allergy of both beef and pork (19:15 minutes).
Combined Use of Adipose Derived Stem Cells & PRP: Expanding Indications (EP Video)
Dr. Miller provides scientific rationale and clinical examples of a treatment modality that includes the combined use of adipose stem cells and platelet rich plasma (42:58 minutes).
Complex IVC Filter Retrieval Using the AngioVac Device for Distal Embolization Protection (EP Video)
IVC Filters have demonstrated to effectively reduce the incidence of pulmonary embolism. However, there are potential short and long-term complications related to their use. One of the most devastating complications is filter thrombosis (28:57 minutes).
Combined Use of Adipose Derived Stem Cells & PRP: Expanding Indications (EP Video)
Dr. Miller provides scientific rationale and clinical examples of a treatment modality that includes the combined use of adipose stem cells and platelet rich plasma (42:58 minutes).
Pathological Substratum for a Case of Fulminant Myocarditis Treated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Subsequent Heart Transplantation
Aggressive mechanical circulatory support may be an essential bridge for recovery or even transplantation in patients with fulminant myocarditis with shock.
Echocardiographic Findings Before and After Surgical Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot
This study compares echocardiographic findings before and after surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Cardiac Regenerative Therapy: Optimization of Cell Differentiation Strategy
In this review, we will focus on the recent progress on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived cardiomyocytes for cardiac regeneration after myocardial infarction (MI).
Hemoglobin Optimization and Transfusion Strategies in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Although red blood cells (RBCs) transfusion is sometimes associated with adverse reactions, anemia could also lead to increased morbidity and mortality in high-risk patients.
The Effect of Aspirin on Bleeding and Transfusion in Contemporary Cardiac Surgery
The purpose of this study was to investigate preoperative aspirin use and its effect on bleeding and transfusion in cardiac surgery.
Diverse Morbidity and Mortality Among Infants Treated with Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is utilized for cardiopulmonary failure. We aimed to qualify and quantify the predictors of morbidity and mortality in infants requiring VA-ECMO.
The Pre-ECMO Simplified Acute Physiology Score II as a Predictor for Mortality in Patients with Initiation ECMO Support at the Emergency Department for Acute Circulatory and/or Respiratory Failure: A Retrospective Study
The aim of the present study was to investigate the factors that predicted the outcomes for patients who received mixed mode (veno-arterial [VA] and veno-venous {VV}) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in the ED.
