High Flow Rates During Modified Ultrafiltration Decrease Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity and Venous Oxygen Saturation in Infants
We investigated the effects of different blood flow rates during modified ultrafiltration on the cerebral hemodynamics of children with weights above and below 10 kg.
Circulatory Arrest and Low-Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass Alter CREB Phosphorylation in Piglet Brain
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest followed by postbypass recovery on the phosphorylation state of transcription factor, cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB), in the striatum of neonatal brain.
Propofol is Cardioprotective in a Clinically Relevant Model of Normothermic Blood Cardioplegic Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Propofol may therefore be a useful adjunct to cardioplegic solutions as well as being an appropriate anesthetic for cardiac surgery.

Changes in Platelet Aggregation During Dardiopulmonary Bypass: Comparison of Poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate and Heparin as a Circuit Coating Material
In this study, a CPB system coated with poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate (X coating) was used to ascertain whether platelet aggregation could be suppressed during CPB, and a comparison was made between X coating and ordinary (covalently bonded) heparin coating.
Optimal pH Strategy for Selective Cerebral Perfusion
Selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) affords brain protection superior to hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) for prolonged aortic arch procedures.
A Method to Reduce Allogeneic Blood Exposure and Hospital Costs While Preserving Clotting Factor Concentration After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The Hemobag® technology allows the open-heart team to safely concentrate the residual CPB circuit contents and quickly return a high volume of clotting factors and blood cells back to the patient.
Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery: A United States Multicenter Trial
In a prospective phase II Food and Drug Administration trial, robotic mitral valve repairs were performed in 112 patients at 10 centers by using the da Vinci surgical system.
Assessment of Hemostatic Activation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With Bivalirudin: Results of a Pilot Study
This study was conducted to assess the effects of the currently suggested protocol for bivalirudin on hemostatic activation during cardiopulmonary bypass with and without cardiotomy suction.
