The Effect of Levosimendan On Postoperative Bleeding and Blood Transfusion in Cardiac Surgical Patients: A PRISMA-Compliant Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Predicting In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Type B Aortic Dissection: Evidence From International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection

The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors for mortality among patients presenting with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) and to create a predictive model to estimate individual risk of in-hospital mortality using the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD).

Comparison of Hollow-Fiber Membrane Oxygenators With Different Perfusion Modes During Normothermic and Hypothermic CPB in a Simulated Neonatal Model

The objectives of this investigation were (1) to compare two hollow-fiber membrane oxygenators (Capiox Baby RX versus Lilliput 1-D901) in terms of pressure drops and surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE) during normothermic and hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a simulated neonatal model; and (2) to evaluate pulsatile and non-pulsatile perfusion modes for each oxygenator in terms of SHE levels.
