A 22-Year Experience in Global Transport Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We report a 22-year experience from the only facility providing global transport ECMO.
Usefulness of Low Prime Perfusion Pediatric Circuit in Decreasing Blood Transfusion
We tested the efficiency of small prime volume in decreasing the blood requirement during pediatric cardiac surgery.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics to Evaluate a Novel Venous Cannula (Smart Canula) For Use in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Operating Procedures
A new cannula (Smartcanula, SC) was developed which can change shape in situ and, therefore, may improve venous drainage. Its performance was evaluated using a 2-D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model.
Intraoperative Fluid Balance During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Effects of Different Mean Arterial Pressures
This study investigated whether two levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP) during cardiopulmonary bypass did influence per-operative fluid shifts.
Benefits and Risks of Aprotinin Use During Cardiac Surgery
Aprotinin is a serine protease inhibitor with antithrombotic, antifibrinolytic, and antiinflammatory effects.
Inflammatory and Hemostatic Activation in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Off-pump surgery may place patients at higher risk of postoperative hypercoagulability because of normal platelet function, intraoperative thrombin generation, less fibrinolytic activity, and lack of vascular protection.
Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Blood Flow in the Aortic Arch During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
To better understand the mechanism of stroke during cardiopulmonary bypass, it is necessary to obtain information on the location of turbulence, wall pressure, and flow distribution within the aortic arch.
Factors for Successful Weaning From a Percutaneous Cardiopulmonary Support System (PCPS) in Patients With Low Cardiac Output Syndrome After Cardiovascular Surgery
The objective of this study was to analyze the early predictive factors for successful weaning from a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS) in patients with low cardiac output syndrome after cardiovascular surgery.
Results of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery in 143 Patients and Comparison of 30-Day Mortality to Results of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) is controversial.
Percutaneous Intervention on the Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts-Long-Term Outcomes
The objective of the study was to compare the long-term outcomes of DES versus bare metal stent (BMS) in this population and to determine the predictors of outcomes.
