Late Occlusion of Drug-Eluting Stents Seen After Antiplatelet Therapy Halted
Even a year after placement of drug-eluting coronary stents, in-stent thrombosis may develop if antiplatelet therapy is discontinued, according to a research letter in the October 23rd issue of The Lancet.

A Method for Identifying Mechanisms of Neurologic Injury from Cardiac Surgery
We developed and successfully implemented a method for detailed real-time associations between processes of clinical care and precursors of neurologic injury.
Blood Damage Related to Cardiopulmonary Bypass: In Vivo and In Vitro Comparison of Two Different Centrifugal Pumps
Because the Revolution centrifugal pump, which was recently designed and distributed, produced results comparable with those obtained with the BioPump, it should be considered as safe as the Bio-Pump to perform clinical CPB.
Mild Hypothermia During Prolonged Cardiopulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation Increases Conscious Survival in Dogs
Mild or moderate hypothermia during prolonged CPCR in dogs preserves viability of extracerebral organs and improves outcome.
The Effects of Argatroban on Thrombin Generation and Hemostatic Activation In Vitro
Argatroban can effectively reduce thrombin generation and prolong activated clotting in vitro.
The Impact of Isoflurane During Simulated Ischemia/Reoxygenation on Intracellular Calcium, Contractile Function, and Arrhythmia in Ventricular Myocytes
Isoflurane, a volatile anesthetic, administered during ischemia/reoxygenation, aggravated functional impairment in heart muscle cells.
A Novel Thrombelastograph® Tissue Factor/Kaolin Assay of Activated Clotting Times for Monitoring Heparin Anticoagulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study evaluates the thrombelastograph as a new assay of blood clotting times; it is activated by the addition of tissue clotting factor and kaolin and used to monitor heparin anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Humans Have Fewer Genes Than Previously Thought
A more refined analysis of the human genome shows that people have fewer genes than originally believed, according to researchers working on the Human Genome Project, a publicly funded collaboration of scientists from 20 institutions in the United States, Europe and Asia.
Injectable Bioartificial Myocardial Tissue for Large-Scale Intramural Cell Transfer and Functional Recovery of Injured Heart Muscle
Liquid bioartificial tissue containing embryonic stem cells constitutes a powerful new approach to restoring injured heart muscle without distorting its geometry and structure.
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Heart Rhythm Abnormality Fast and Effective
A minimally invasive approach to curing the most common heart rhythm abnormality, atrial fibrillation, takes half the time of the traditional surgical procedure but is equally effective, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
