Influence of Blood Haemoglobin Concentration on Renal Haemodynamics and Oxygenation During Experimental Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Sheep

Prophylactic Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump in High-Risk Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

This meta-analysis supports the use of prophylactic IABP in high-risk patients to reduce hospital mortality.

Cardiac Surgery in Patients with a Porcelain Aorta in the Era of Transcatheter Valve Implantation

The aim of the study was to evaluate operative and long-term results in patients with a porcelain aorta who underwent conventional cardiac surgery using current surgical and perfusion techniques.

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.
