Predicting Acute Kidney Injury Following Mitral Valve Repair
Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and Age, Creatinine, and Ejection Fraction (ACEF) scores have been proven to predict mortality in bypass surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether these scores can be used to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) after mitral valve repair.
Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
The objective of the paper was to analyse the impact of post procedural mitral regurgitation (MR), in an interaction with aortic regurgitation (AR), on mortality following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Treatment of a Refractory Skin Ulcer Using Punch Graft and Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
Combining platelet-rich plasma and skin graft enhances the efficacy of treating chronic diabetic wounds by enhancing healing rate and decreasing recurrence rate.
The Beneficial Effects of TAVI in Mitral Insufficiency
Aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, clinical meaning and modifications of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
First-in-Man Transcatheter Mitral Valve-in-Ring Implantation with a Repositionable and Retrievable Aortic Valve Prosthesis
The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the fully repositionable and retrievable Direct Flow Medical (DFM) valve for the treatment of mitral annuloplasty failure.
Safety and Efficacy of Prothrombin Complex Concentrate as First-Line Treatment in Bleeding after Cardiac Surgery
Bleeding after cardiac surgery requiring surgical reexploration and blood component transfusion is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Although prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) has been used satisfactorily in bleeding disorders, studies on its efficacy and safety after cardiopulmonary bypass are limited.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment of Sports-Related Severe Acute Hamstring Injuries
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection at the site of severe acute hamstring injury increases the healing rate and shortens the time to return to play.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Today and Tomorrow
This review aims to summarise the available clinical evidence of transcatheter aortic valve treatment during the last 13 years and to provide a glimpse of future technologies.
Renal Protection In Cardiovascular Surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most relevant complications after major surgery and is a predictor of mortality.
Using Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Complex Fistulas
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of autologous fibrin gel rich in platelet growth factors for the treatment of complex perianal fistulas.
Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Prospective Study
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of different numbers of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applications on pain and physical function in grade three knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Intra-Articular Injection of Photo-Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
This pilot study assessed the feasibility, safety and symptomatic and functional change following injections of photo-activated platelet-rich plasma (PA-PRP) compared to hyaluronic acid (HA) in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
