Increasing Duration of Circulatory Arrest, but not Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion, Prolongs Postoperative Recovery after Neonatal Cardiac Surgery
Therefore, in this study, the impact of duration of DHCA and ACP on postoperative recovery was analyzed in a cohort of neonates undergoing aortic arch reconstruction.
Nafamostat Mesilate, As a Treatment for Heparin Resistance, Is not Associated with Perioperative Ischemic Stroke in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
No evidence was found that nafamostat mesilate was associated with perioperative ischemic stroke in heparin-resistant patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Institution of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Late after Lung Transplantation – A Futile Exercise?
Late institution of ECMO in lung transplant recipients for causes other than primary graft failure is associated with such poor survival that its use should be considered only in very select cases.
First Experience with the New Portable Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation System Cardiohelp for Severe Respiratory Failure in Adults
In this report, we present our early experience with the Cardiohelp, a new portable miniaturized ECMO system, in 22 consecutive patients with ARDS.
Weaning from Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation without Anticoagulation: Is it Possible?
