Abstract Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) are frequently used during vascular and cardiac surgeries as a non-invasive means of assessing brain health; however, signal contamination from..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Preoperative anemia is an important and relatively common problem in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and its treatment is crucial in improving postoperative outcomes. The use of recombinant erythropoietin is..
Read MoreAbstract The effect and safety of bivalirudin compared with heparin in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and..
Read MoreAbstract Background Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) is employed as a strategy to attenuate the physiologic disturbance caused by cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study was to compare the..
Read MoreAbstract This in vitro experimental investigation aimed to provide a novel method for preventing blood clotting based on the electrochemical characteristics of blood. Using this method in cases such as..
Read MoreAbstract Right ventricular injury (RVI) in the context of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is well recognized as an important determinant risk factor of mortality. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO)..
Read MoreAbstract Congenital pulmonary anomalies are rare and can vary in their presentation. Unilateral lung agenesis implies absence of lungs and lung blood vessels, whereas the principal bronchus can be absent..
Read MoreAbstract The American Society of ExtraCorporeal Technology (AmSECT) has created the following document based on clinical evidence and currently accepted perfusion practices. Perfusionists are the only allied healthcare professionals formally..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aims Despite of the effectiveness of on pump cardiac surgeries in valvular diseases, cardioplegic arrest and myocardial reperfusion injury are still an obstacle. Many cardioprotective additives are..
Read MoreAbstract Electroencephalogram (EEG) approaches may provide important information about developmental changes in brain-state dynamics during general anesthesia. We used multi-electrode EEG, analyzed with multitaper spectral methods and video recording of..
Read MoreAbstract Revised guidelines clarify indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Limited data exist to compare clinical outcomes..
Read MoreAbstract Functional or secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Mechanistically, secondary MR is attributable to an imbalance between mitral leaflet tethering and closure forces,..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has increasingly been used for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD) despite limited supporting data. Objective To assess whether initial TEVAR following uTBAD is associated..
Read MoreAbstract This article introduces management algorithms to support operators in choosing the best strategy for metabolic management during cardiopulmonary bypass using artificial intelligence systems. We developed algorithms for the identification..
Read MorePatient with Huge LA tumor extension from all pulmonary Veins and invasion to mitral valve undergone complete tumor excision and pulmonary veins release in half commando operation technique with repair..
Read MorePatient with Severe Aortic Stenosis and post Stenotic dilatation undergone AVR with biological valve as well as reduction aortoplasty. [playlist ids="36675"] Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical..
Read MoreAbstract Originally intended for life-saving salvage therapy, the use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices has become increasingly widespread in a variety of clinical settings in the contemporary era...
Read MoreAbstract Objectives A conclusive interpretation of the role of ventricular dominance in outcomes after Fontan palliation has not been formulated yet. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of scientific..
Read MoreAbstract Heart failure (HF) is common in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients; however, use of continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (CF-VADs) remains rare. We reviewed outcomes of patients with congenital heart..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: To assess the association of timing to prone positioning (PP) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) with the probability of being discharged alive from the ICU at..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 55-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma in the context of a hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infection since the year 2000, who was hospitalized and scheduled for an..
Read MorePatient with ascending aorta aneurysm and severe coarctation undergone bental with ascending aorta replacement and proximal to distal arch bypass for coarctation weaned from CPB uneventfully. [playlist ids="36654"] Dr.Sam..
Read MoreNon-invasive respiratory support for neonatal patients Challenges of invasive respiratory support and rescue therapy for neonatal patients Edi-monitoring, NIV NAVA and NAVA for neonatal patients
Read MoreAbstract Limited data exist to guide antimicrobial therapy commonly prescribed to patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This study aimed to describe the kinetics of the cefazolin, doripenem, daptomycin, and levofloxacin in..
