Magnesium as a Neuroprotectant in Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial
We sought to evaluate magnesium as a neuroprotectant in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Aortic Arch Surgery: Thoracoabdominal Perfusion During Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion May Reduce Postoperative Morbidity
This study aimed to assess the results of the introduction of thoracoabdominal perfusion (TAP) in the surgical strategy for aortic arch replacement with cerebral protection.
Mini-Cardiopulmonary Bypass System: Results of a Prospective Randomized Study
We studied postoperative mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass graft surgery performed using the mini-extracorporeal circulation (MECC) system.
Leucocyte Depletion Improves Renal Function During Reperfusion Using An Experimental Isolated Haemoperfused Organ Preservation System
This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of white cells in early renal reperfusion injury using an isolated haemoperfused porcine kidney model.
Excessive Bleeding and Transfusion in a Prior Cardiac Surgery is Associated With Excessive Bleeding and Transfusion in the Next Surgery
If there is a genetic predisposition to excessive bleeding, there should be an association in excessive blood loss between multiple cardiac surgeries.
Recombinant Factor VIIa for Refractory Bleeding After Cardiac Surgery Secondary to Anticoagulation with the Direct Thrombin Inhibitor Lepirudin
A 56-year-old man with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis syndrome (HITTS) received anticoagulation with recombinant hirudin (lepirudin) for emergency coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and aortic valve replacement.
