Abstract The aim of this retrospective multicenter observational study is to test the feasibility and safety of a combined extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) plus renal replacement therapy (RRT) system to use..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas insufflation is used for continuous de-airing during open heart surgery. The aim was to evaluate if an additional separate venous reservoir eliminates CO2 insufflation-induced..
Read MoreThe mission: to take the complex and evolving and field of medicine that is mechanical circulatory support and break it down to make it understandable, accessible and comprehensive for everyone...
Read MoreAbstract The use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) for the treatment of refractory cardiogenic shock has increased signifcantly. Nevertheless, early weaning may be advisable to reduce the potential..
Read MoreAbstract The increasing number of minimally invasive procedures prompted the quest for a simple and effective single shot cardioplegia to allow the surgeons to focus on their workflow. The originally..
Read MoreAbstract A pumpless artificial lung has the potential to provide a bridge to recovery or transplantation in children with respiratory failure. Pulmonary artery inflow and left atrial outflow are necessary..
Read MorePatient with MS and secondary MR due to vegetative endocarditis. Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical research ADKWA center as well as Head of IUMS transplant and..
Read MoreAbstract Background In this study we hypothesize that depression is associated with perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction and altered quality of life one month after surgery. Methods Data were obtained as part..
Read MoreAbstract There are limited data on the characteristics and clinical course of fungal infections in patients on durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support. We sought to further characterize the..
Read MoreAbstract Augmented reality (AR) is a relatively new technology that allows for digitally generated three-dimensional representations to be integrated with real environmental stimuli. AR can make use of smart phones,..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of mortality, accounting for a third of all global deaths annually. Although there have been major improvements in our ability to detect and..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Heparin resistance during cardiopulmonary bypass poses a significant intraoperative dilemma. Antithrombin deficiency related heparin resistance is well described, but less common causes are still poorly understood and inadequately..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Intra-device thrombosis remains one of the most common complications during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Despite anticoagulation, approximately 35% of patients develop thrombi in the membrane oxygenator, pump heads,..
Read MoreAbstract Selecting patients most likely to benefit from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) to treat refractory drug-induced cardiovascular shock remains a difficult challenge for physicians. This study reported short-term..
Read MoreAbstract Background The epidemiology of persistent postoperative opioid use at least 3 months after cardiac surgery is poorly characterised despite its potential public health importance. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase,..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Optimal heparin titration during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may reduce coagulation system activation and preserve hemostatic function post-CPB. Our objective was to assess if the Heparin Management System (HMS)..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The goal of this study was to develop a systems approach for root cause analysis and action to achieve strong, sustainable interventions. The team integrated human factors principles into the..
Read MorePatient with severe MR and multiple scallops prolapse undergone repair and replace with post annulus preservation and Cardiamed valve implantation. Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical research..
Read MoreCurrent training in mitral valve (MV) surgery is affected by many factors, among which are the complexity of surgical procedures and complex three-dimensional anatomy of the MV. An MV repair..
Read MoreMinimally invasive mitral valve surgery demands a different mind-set from surgeons due to its high complexity and steep learning curve, especially in a fully endoscopic approach. Smaller incisions, working with..
Read MorePrimary cardiac tumors are a relatively rare disease entity, with myxomas being the most frequently found benign cardiac tumor. After confirmation of this diagnosis, patients are referred for the surgical..
Read MoreAlthough the long-term durability of transcatheter procedures has yet to be established, their emergence as an option for mitral valve repair seems to have provided the surgical community with another..
Read MoreMinimally invasive tricuspid surgery using a complete endoscopic approach has a steep learning curve. The purpose of creating the suture map is to allow placement of sutures with minimal tissue..
Read MoreMitral valve replacement using an endoscopic approach is an advanced skilled procedure. The purpose of creating the suture map for mitral valve replacement is to allow placement of sutures with..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest contribute pre-dominantly to mortality in acute cardiovascular care. Here, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has emerged as an established therapeutic option for patients suffering..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Tranexamic acid is recommended for reducing blood loss and transfusion in cardiac surgery. However, it remains unknown whether a high dose of tranexamic acid provides better blood-sparing effect than..
Read MoreAbstract Multiple organ failure following a septic event derives from immune dysregulation. Many of the mediators of this process are humoral factors (cytokines), which could theoretically be cleared by direct..
Read MorePatient with large vegetation within RA and protrusion to RV and RA and RV destruction undergone mass excision and autologous tissue reconstruction of RA with patient self RAA. [gallery..
