Abstract Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential tool for the management of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Its ease of access makes it ideally suited for routine daily bedside assessments, which..
Lee masAbstract Terminal heart failure presents challenges, requiring cardiac transplantation, or mechanical circulatory support. Limited donor organ availability has made mechanical support crucial. Advances in centrifugal-flow systems, compared to axial-flow, have..
Lee masAbstract Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is an uncommon life-threatening congenital heart defect that occurs mostly as an isolated lesion. It is very rarely associated with..
Lee masThis Pediatric ECMO course will provide you with the latest information for managing ExtraCorporeal Life Support in children with respiratory and/or cardiocirculatory failure. It is intended for physicians, nurses, perfusionists,..
Lee masJoin ECLS 360 to discuss "historical" ECLS managements that are still being used today. Example topics include blending in CO2, completing ACT's, bridge/manifold in line, and hemoconcentration versus CRRT. ..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES Surgical repair of complex congenital heart defects with hypoplasia or atresia of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) may require pulmonary valve implantation or replacement during the primary..
Lee masAbstract Background There is significant variability in postoperative neurological injury rates in patients with , with early injuries impacting long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes; therefore, there is an urgent need for identifying effective..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is often withheld in patients with significant neurologic injury or recent neurosurgical intervention due to perceived futility. Studies of neurosurgical interventions before or during..
Lee masAbstract There is insufficient data on the outcomes of donation after circulatory death (DCD) multiorgan transplant that includes heart. The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall..
Lee masAbstract We describe a 15 year old patient with failing second-stage single-ventricle palliation and left pulmonary artery thrombosis successfully supported with HeartMate 3 ventricular assist device and a Fontan completion..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES: The objectives of our systematic review and meta-analyses were to determine the diagnostic accuracy of central venous oxygen saturation (Scvo2) in estimating mixed venous oxygen saturation (Svo2) and..
Lee masAbstract John McCarthy first used the term artificial intelligence (AI) in a conference at Dartmouth College in 1956. He discussed “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.” This paved..
Lee masAbstract Background: Calcium channel blocker (CCB) toxicity presents a significant mortality risk, highlighting the need for effective treatment strategies such as ECMO. This study analyzes ELSO registry data to determine the..
Lee masAbstract With the COVID pandemic, veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was implanted in many patients around the world. Data regarding follow-up and recovery of patients who are placed on..
Lee masAbstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an effective life support technology in treating patients with cardiorespiratory failure. It could be used as a bridge to recovery, potentially improving patient outcomes due..
Lee masAbstract Despite high mortality rates, pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) redeployments are frequently discussed in everyday clinical care. We aim to investigate predictors of mortality in those patients. Clinical data..

Lee masAbstract Utilization of 10ºC static storage safely extended both ischemic time and travel radius in heart transplantation. A 57-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy, a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), and..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal circulation induces pronounced effects on haemostasis and rheology. To study these, an ex vivo simulation model is an attractive alternative but often requires large amounts of blood. We sought..
Lee masAbstract Introduction With increased incorporation of simulation-based methodologies into quality improvement activities, standards for reporting on simulation-specific elements in healthcare improvement research are needed. Methods We followed established consensus process..
Lee masAbstract Background The utility of operating room extubation (ORE) after cardiac surgery over fast-track extubation (FTE) within 6 hours remains contested. We hypothesized ORE would be associated with equivalent rates..
Lee masAbstract Thrombosis and plasma leakage are two of the most frequent dysfunctions of polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber membrane (PPM) used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. In this study, a..
Lee masAbstract Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular afterload, resulting in right ventricular dysfunction (RVD). Stratification is crucial to early identify patients with elevated..
Lee masAbstract Objectives: Explore whether extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) mortality differs by in-hospital cardiac arrest location and whether moving patients for cannulation impacts outcome. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: ECPR hospitals..
Lee masAbstract Purpose Cardiac surgery patients require chest drains for postoperative fluid drainage. Innovations in this field include chemical drain coating and manual clot extraction systems, aiming to provide reduced clotting..
Lee masAbstract Introduction This study aimed to investigate the relationship between acquired antithrombin deficiency in patients undergoing postcardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (PC-ECMO) and thromboembolic or haemorrhagic events such as bleeding, peripheral..
Lee masAbstract Study Design Retrospective study. Purpose To investigate the risk factors for allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Overview of Literature Studies have not..
Lee masAbstract The complement system is a set of over 50 proteins that constitutes an essential part of the innate immune system. Complement system activation involves an organized proteolytic cascade. Overactivation..
Lee masAbstract Endothelial injury is usually considered as a major com-ponent of the systemic inflammatory response observed during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygena-tion (VA-ECMO) support. Yet, few data are avail-able to support..
