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.
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
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.
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.
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.
