ECMELLA: Successful Rescue Cardiopulmonary Support in Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Cardiogenic Shock with Cardiac Arrest-Case Report

Is Platelet Function as Measured by Thrombelastograph Monitoring in Whole Blood Affected by Platelet Inhibitors?

Platelet inhibitors, especially the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing the acute ischemic complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and in improving clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary crisis.

Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair With the Aid of Partial Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Heparin-coated Circuits Versus Nonheparin-Coated Circuits

The aim of this study was to evaluate (i) the impact of partial cardiopulmonary bypass on distal organ function and surgical outcomes; and (ii) the effectiveness of using heparin-coated circuits for preventing bleeding complications.
