Hypofibrinogenemia Can Be Estimated by The Predictive Formula in Aortic Surgery

Clampless Technique during Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Proximal Anastomoses in the Hostile Aorta

We have found that clampless fibrillating heart surgery with circulatory arrest for proximal anastomoses is a safe and effective technique for revascularizing patients with significant ascending aortic disease who are at high risk for cerebral embolic complications.

Circulatory Arrest and Low-Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass Alter CREB Phosphorylation in Piglet Brain

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest followed by postbypass recovery on the phosphorylation state of transcription factor, cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB), in the striatum of neonatal brain.
