Percutaneous Mitral Repair

A Wet-Primed Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuit With Hollow-Fiber Membrane Oxygenator Maintains Adequate Function for Use During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation After 2 Weeks on Standby

To assess the durability of wet-preprimed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits for potential use in resuscitation after a 2-wk period of storage.

Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo Controlled Study of Neuroprotection With Lidocaine in Cardiac Surgery

Cognitive decline after cardiac surgery remains common and diminishes patients' quality of life. Based on experimental and clinical evidence, this study assessed the potential of intravenously administered lidocaine to reduce postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass.
