Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Produce Concordant Improvements in Regional Function, Tissue Perfusion, and Fibrotic Burden When Administered to Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improve LV structure and function through several effects including reducing fibrosis, neoangiogenesis, and neomyogenesis
Arterial Pressure and Cerebral Blood Flow Variability: Friend or Foe? A Review
This review presents the dichotomous views on the role of hemodynamic variability on clinical outcome
Thrombectomy under Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis Induced by Liver Injury
As liver function deteriorated quickly despite heparin administration, surgical thrombectomy was performed under hypothermic circulatory arrest through sternotomy and laparotomy.
Choroidal Changes after Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We aimed to reveal choroidal thickness and ocular pulse amplitude changes after cardiopulmonary bypass in which gross hemodynamic alterations occur.
Hemodynamic Effects of Various Support Modes of Continuous Flow LVADs on the Cardiovascular System: A Numerical Study
The study demonstrates that the continuous flow control mode of the CF-LVAD may achieve the highest ventricular unloading.

Hybrid Technique to Correct Cerebral Malperfusion following Repair of a Type A Aortic Dissection
When selective antegrade cerebral perfusion was initiated, the right regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) decreased as compared to the left one.
Serum Lactate Is not Correlated with Mixed or Central Venous Oxygen Saturation for Detecting Tissue Hypo Perfusion During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study
In summary, Scvo2 is considered as the best substitute of Svo2 for detecting tissue hypo perfusion during CPB.
Value of Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Guidance in Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery
Today intraoperative TEE is a class I indication for surgical mitral valve reconstruction for evaluation of mitral valve pathology, graduation of mitral regurgitation and detection of potential risk factors as well as post-repair assessment.
