Physiology of the Assisted Circulation in Cardiogenic Shock: A State-of-the-Art Perspective
Finally, we conclude with a perspective on smart design for future development of devices used for MCS.
Echocardiography-Guided Aortic Cannulation by the Seldinger Technique for Type A Dissection with cerebral malperfusion
Echocardiography-guided ascending aortic central cannulation using the Seldinger technique has potential as a rapid and reliable perfusion route during surgery for type A acute aortic dissection complicated by stroke due to cerebral malperfusion.
Axillary Artery Cannulation Reduces Early Embolic Stroke and Mortality After Open Arch Repair with Circulatory Arrest
Axillary artery cannulation reduced the early embolic stroke and early mortality after open arch repair with circulatory arrest.
A Skills Acquisition Study on ECMOjo: a Screen-Based Simulator for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
The present findings show no significant dissimilarities between ECMOjo and didactic classroom-based teaching.
The Effect of Flow and Pressure on the Intraoxygenator Flow Path of Different Contemporary Oxygenators: an In Vitro Trial
This study analyzed the effect of different flows and pressures on the intraoxygenator flow path in three contemporary oxygenators and its consequences for oxygen transfer efficiency.
Dissecting Cardiac Surgery A Video – Based Recall Protocol to Elucidate Team Cognitive Processes in the Operating Room
This study advances the current body of knowledge by making explicit relevant cognitive processes involved during the intraoperative phase of cardiac surgery from the perspective of multiple OR team members.
Comparison of Neonatal and Adult Fibrin Clot Properties between Porcine and Human Plasma
These findings suggest that piglets are an appropriate preclinical model of neonatal coagulopathy.
Retrograde Autologous Priming to Reduce Allogeneic Blood Transfusion Requirements: a Systematic Review
Prospective, randomized multi-center trials are warranted to conclude decisively on the benefits of retrograde autologous priming.
Hypothermic Effects on Gas Exchange Performance of Membrane Oxygenator and Blood Coagulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Pigs
Hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass attenuated platelet degranulation/blood coagulation and maintained better oxygenator performance compared to normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass in juvenile pigs.
Impact of Minimally Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation on Coagulation—a Randomized Trial
Conventional but not MiECC is associated with significant intraoperative thrombin generation despite full heparinization.
Early Tracheostomy after Initiation of Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation is Associated with Decreased Duration of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support
Early tracheostomy placement is associated with decreased time on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and reduced extracorporeal membrane oxygenation–related costs in this cohort.
Trends in Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Coronary Revascularization in the United States, 2003-2016
Significant changes were found in the characteristics of patients undergoing PCI and CABG in the United States between 2003 and 2016. Risk-adjusted mortality decreased significantly after CABG but not after PCI across all clinical indications.
