Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate in-hospital mortality and to identify predictors of mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To describe perioperative transfusion rates, hospital variability, temporal trends, and the association between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and predefined risk factors in Dutch cardiac surgery. Design Nationwide..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postoperative bleeding is a common and potentially life-threatening complication following cardiac surgery, often exacerbated by multifactorial coagulopathy from cardiopulmonary bypass, hypothermia, and platelet dysfunction. While fresh frozen plasma..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for refractory out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest is increasingly used, with survival rates up to ≈30% reported in select highly organized systems, although outcomes vary widely across programs...

Abstract  Objective: To explore the predictive value of intraoperative oxygen delivery (DO2) and renal regional oxygen saturation (rSO2 ) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients undergoing salvage cardiac surgery experience markedly elevated mortality, often exceeding the risk predicted by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality score. These patients are typically..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Pulmonary complications after coronary artery bypass surgery continue to be a significant problem, affecting 5–20% of patients, prolonging hospital stays and increasing costs. In this study, we investigated..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common serious complications after cardiac surgery. Although many causes and risk factors have been identified, effective measures to prevent AKI..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To describe postoperative outcomes with the use of partial CPB for thoracoabdominal aortic repair. Methods We included all the patients who underwent programmed thoracoabdominal aortic procedures in which..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Readiness for venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) decannulation after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poorly defined. Objectives The objective of the study was to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background There is limited clinical data to guide surgical decisions for ACC with extensive carinal involvement in the left main bronchus. In this case, it is shown that median..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Determination of brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC) in patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is particularly challenging due to extracorporeal carbon dioxide clearance, which may interfere..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Left ventricular (LV) overload is a recognized complication of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), but pediatric decompression remains technically challenging and poorly standardized. The atrial flow regulator (AFR) (Occlutech) is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Topic Importance Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a relatively novel, intensive medical intervention. It is known to raise important yet unsettled ethical concerns. Overview We established the ECMO Ethics..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is widely used in proximal thoracic aortic surgery; however, its association with subclinical cerebral ischemic changes remains poorly understood. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging..
