Hematological Changes During Short-Term Tidal Flow Extracorporeal Life Support
Single occluder tidal flow ECLS may be feasible and efficacious for long-term application once recirculation is resolved and the system evaluated for long-term support.
Perfusion-Assisted Beating Heart Support With a Miniature Extracorporeal Circuit and Leukocyte Filtration: A 58-Year-Old Patient With Severe COPD
We believe that, based upon his clinical course of ventilation time (17.4 hours) and postoperative length of hospital stay (5 days), this high risk patient demonstrated a positive clinical outcome as a result of these techniques.
A Perfusionist’s Role in Lung Transplant Preservation
As organ transplant surgery continues to grow, effective organ preservation techniques and technology will expand as well.
Influence of Pericardial Suction Blood Retransfusion on Memory Function and Release of Protein S100B
No associations were found between serum concentrations of S100B and memory function.

Leucocyte Filtration of Residual Heart/Lung Machine Blood in Children Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery
We conclude that leucocyte filtration of the residual heart-lung machine blood reduced systemic leucocyte counts, but did not improve arterial blood oxygenation in children after congenital heart surgery.

A Technique for Infusion of Cardioplegic Solution in Coronary Artery Bypass with Aortic Regurgitation
When off-pump coronary artery bypass is impossible and retrograde cardioplegia cannot be performed for a certain reason, this method may be set to one of the choices.
The History and Development of Direct Coronary Surgery without Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The history of direct myocardial revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass dates to 1961 in the dawn of coronary artery surgery. With the introduction and development of techniques of extracorporeal circulation around the same time, beating heart surgery was largely abandoned.
Side Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass:. What Is the Reality?
Despite many years of clinical and experimental research, the contribution of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardioplegic arrest to morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery remains unclear.
Total Arterial Off-Pump versus On-Pump Coronary Revascularization: Comparison of Early Outcome
Arterial OPCAB patients have less extensive CAD, but more severe symptoms.
