Abstract Background Preoperative anemia and transfusion are associated with worse outcomes. This study aims to identify the prevalence of preoperative anemia, transfusion rates on surgery day, and predictors of transfusion..

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is used to provide cardiopulmonary support in cardiogenic shock; however, high extracorporeal flow may increase left ventricular (LV) afterload leading to LV distention..

Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore the influence of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on both postoperative cognitive dysfunction and quality of life (QoL) and the association between the two..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) exposes blood to artificial surfaces, which induces a systemic inflammatory activation.This may contribute to hypotension during CPB. A perceived difference between two membrane oxygenators was noted...

Abstract Retrograde perfusion may occur during disease, surgery or extracorporeal circulation. While it is clear that endothelial cells sense and respond to changes in blood flow, the consequences of retrograde..

Abstract Circulating compounds such as drugs and nutritional components might adhere to the oxygenator fibers and tubing during ECMO support. This study evaluated the amount of nutritional supplements adsorbed to..

Dextrocardia is a rare congenital disorder in which the heart resides on the right side of the thoracic cavity. It is often associated with other development anomalies and, in most..

Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (URCS) is a rare cardiac anomaly in which a communication occurs between the coronary sinus and the left atrium as a result of the partial or..

Perfusfind S.L.

Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are abnormal communications of coronary arteries whereby venous circuits bypass the normal capillaries within the myocardium. CAFs are rare, and most affected patients are asymptomatic. However,..

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare heart defect in which the heart’s lower half is reversed. It is also called L-TGA. It is different from..

A heart with a criss-cross atrioventricular (AV) connection is a cardiopathy in which the ventricles are positioned contralaterally to the atria to which they are connected; the ventricular inflow tracts..

Criss-cross heart is an extremely rare anomaly, characterized by an abnormal rotation of the ventricular mass along its major axis. It may be associated with any malformation of the heart..
