Monitoring Incomplete Heparin Reversal and Heparin Rebound After Cardiac Surgery
ACT is not able to detect residual heparin activity
Impact of 22q11.2 Deletion on the Postoperative Course of Children after Cardiac Surgery
The primary objective of this study was to describe the impact of 22q11.2 deletion (del22q11) on the clinical characteristics, postoperative course, and short-term outcomes of children undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease.
How to Improve Flow during Cardiopulmonary Bypass in an Acardia Experimental Model
The aim of this experimental study was to determine the feasibility and to improve the haemodynamics of a venoarterial cardiopulmonary bypass after cardiectomy.
Peripheral Tissue Oxygenation during Standard CPB and Miniaturized CPB (Direct Oxymetric Tissue Perfusion Monitoring Study)
The aim of this study was to compare the impact of standard cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with mini CPB on peripheral tissue perfusion.
Mechanical Left Ventricular Support Using a 50 cc 8 Fr Fibre-Optic Intra-Aortic Balloon Technology: A Case Rreport
This new 50 cc, 8 Fr IAB expands the patient group that can benefit
Aortic Valve Stenosis after Previous Coronary Bypass: Transcatheter Valve Implantation or Aortic Valve Replacement?
We report a prospective comparison between transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI, n = 13) and surgical aortic valve replacement
Adenosine in Cold Blood Cardioplegia–A Placebo-Controlled Study
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the addition of adenosine in continuous cold blood cardioplegia would enhance myocardial protection.
Role of Thrombolestagrophy in Monitoring Perioperative Coagulation Status and Effect of Thromboprophylaxis in Bariatric Surgery
The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the hypercoagulability state and the effect of antithrombotic prophylaxis on thromboelastogram (TEG) results in bariatric surgery.
Discordance between Microcirculatory Alterations and Arterial Pressure in Patients with Hemodynamic Instability
These data support the concept that microcirculatory blood flow indices can yield physiologic information distinct from macrocirculatory hemodynamic parameters.
Pump Flow Changes Do Not Impair Sublingual Microcirculation during Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Changes in the CPB pump flow rate within 20% (80%-100%) of its theoretic value do not alter the sublingual microcirculation.
Impact of Pulsatile Perfusion on Clinical Outcomes of Neonates and Infants with Complex Pathologies undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass Procedures
We conclude that the use of pulsatile flow is a better option and should be considered for repair of the complex congenital heart defects.
Alternative Myocardial Protection Strategies are Necessary in Patients with Intramural Aortic Course of Anomalous Coronary Artery
We believe that antegrade cardioplegia via the aortic root caused increased pressure in the aorta
