Serum Lactate Is not Correlated with Mixed or Central Venous Oxygen Saturation for Detecting Tissue Hypo Perfusion During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study
In summary, Scvo2 is considered as the best substitute of Svo2 for detecting tissue hypo perfusion during CPB.
Hybrid Technique to Correct Cerebral Malperfusion following Repair of a Type A Aortic Dissection
When selective antegrade cerebral perfusion was initiated, the right regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) decreased as compared to the left one.
Plasma Fibrinogen Concentration is Correlated with Postoperative Blood Loss in Children undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Review
Post-CPB plasma fibrinogen concentration significantly influences blood loss in children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Produce Concordant Improvements in Regional Function, Tissue Perfusion, and Fibrotic Burden When Administered to Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improve LV structure and function through several effects including reducing fibrosis, neoangiogenesis, and neomyogenesis
Hemodynamic Effects of Various Support Modes of Continuous Flow LVADs on the Cardiovascular System: A Numerical Study
The study demonstrates that the continuous flow control mode of the CF-LVAD may achieve the highest ventricular unloading.
Impact of Varying Degrees of Renal Dysfunction on Transcatheter and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement
Worsening renal function was associated with increased in-hospital mortality, hospital length of stay, and ICU length of stay in SAVR patients, but not in TAVR patients.
Value of Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Guidance in Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery
Today intraoperative TEE is a class I indication for surgical mitral valve reconstruction for evaluation of mitral valve pathology, graduation of mitral regurgitation and detection of potential risk factors as well as post-repair assessment.
