Initial Results of an Optimized Perfusion System

With the described optimized perfusion system, a significantly lower priming volume, leading to less hemodilution after the onset of CPB, was achieved.

The Impact of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor on Coagulation Kinetics Determined by Thrombelastography

Thrombelastography (TEG) is often used to monitor hemostasis in the perioperative period, and TFPI could potentially affect the diagnostic interpretation of TEG-based data, given its inhibition of both common and TF coagulation pathways. Thus, in this study we characterized the effect of TFPI on coagulation kinetics via TEG.
