Overview of Statistical Tests for Research (EP Video)
Donald Likosky provides an overview on the statistical research tests used in research (20:23 minutes).
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.
Gene Therapy during Cardiac Surgery: Role of Surgical Technique to Minimize Collateral Organ Gene Expression
Effective gene therapy for heart failure has not yet been achieved clinically.
A Meta-Analysis of Pulmonary Function With Pulsatile Perfusion in Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study was to determine whether pulsatile or nonpulsatile perfusion had a greater effect on pulmonary dysfunction in randomized controlled trials.
Thrombectomy under Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis Induced by Liver Injury
As liver function deteriorated quickly despite heparin administration, surgical thrombectomy was performed under hypothermic circulatory arrest through sternotomy and laparotomy.
Impact of Closed Minimal Extracorporeal Circulation on Microvascular Tissue Perfusion during Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement: Intravital Imaging in a Prospective Randomized Study
The use of MECC in AVR did not affect procedural safety
Arterial Pressure and Cerebral Blood Flow Variability: Friend or Foe? A Review
This review presents the dichotomous views on the role of hemodynamic variability on clinical outcome
Possible Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) in Cardiac Surgery Patients
This study was tp determine the incidence of possible transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and related risk factors in cardiac surgery patients.
Expert Position Paper on the Management of Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Expert position paper on the management of antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
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.
