Correlation of Perioperative Platelet Function and Coagulation Tests With Bleeding After Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
The authors evaluated the correlation of post-cardiopulmonary bypass surgery bleeding, measured as 24-hour chest tube output/kilogram body weight, with platelet function tests using glass bead adhesion and Thrombelastograph Platelet Mapping.
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.
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.
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.
Gelatin and Hydroxyethyl Starch, but not Albumin, Impair Hemostasis After Cardiac Surgery
We investigated the effect of postoperative administration of colloids on hemostasis in 45 patients after cardiac surgery.
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.

A sSngle Nucleotide Polymorphism of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor is Related to Inflammatory Response in Coronary Bypass Surgery Using Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Here we analyzed genotype distribution and allele frequency of the MIF-173*G/C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and MIF plasma levels in patients undergoing surgical revascularization with (on-pump, n=45) and without (off-pump, n=34) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
SMART Tubing Presents an Increased Risk of Disconnection During Extracorporeal Circulation
In this study, we examined the in vitro mechanical ability of random samples (n = 10) of SMART and standard PVC tubing to withstand axial tension when the tubing was placed over a single barb of a connector.
The Future of the Perfusion Record: Automated Data Collection vs. Manual Recording
This study highlights the limitation of spot recording of perfusion events in the overall record keeping for perfusion management.
