Vacuum-Assisted Venous Drainage during Fetal Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We hypothesized that vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD) would improve drainage and allow perfusion at higher flow rates which are thought to prevent placental dysfunction induced by fetal bypass.
Pulsatile ECMO in Neonates and Infants: First European Clinical Experience with a New Device
This study presents the first European clinical experience with the Medos DeltaStream DP1, a new pulsatile flow pump, in neonates and infants.
Technique and Results for Integration of the Quest MPS All-Blood Cardioplegia Delivery Unit for Modified Ultrafiltration
All blood cardioplegia delivery units offer the advantage of removing additional crystalloid volumes associated with multidose crystalloid or 4:1 blood cardioplegia. Further […]

Miniaturized Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Marginal Impact on Inflammation and Coagulation but Loss of Safety Margins
We compared outcomes with conventional (CCPB) and miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB) after coronary artery bypass operations (CABG) with respect to inflammation and coagulation.
Miniaturized Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Marginal Impact on Inflammation and Coagulation but Loss of Safety Margins
We compared outcomes with conventional (CCPB) and miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB) after coronary artery bypass operations (CABG) with respect to inflammation and coagulation.
Preoperative Cerebral Ischemic Lesions Predict Physical Health Status After On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
We studied the predictive ability of cerebral magnetic resonance imaging of preoperative and postoperative cerebral ischemic injury on self-reported physical and mental health at 3 months after coronary artery bypass surgery with or without use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Sternal Wound Complications in Bilateral Internal Thoracic Artery Grafting: A Comparison of the Off-Pump Technique and Conventional Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this study was to assess whether avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass has beneficial effects with fewer wound complications in patients receiving bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting.
Cardiac Surgery in Octogenarians: A Six-Year Follow-up With a Multidimensional Intervention
The aim of this study was to investigate outcomes of older (age > or =80 years) cardiac surgery patients managed with multicomponent intervention.
