Whether you’re an experienced ECMO clinician or looking to grow your program, we’d love to have you join us for three days of education, innovation, and collaboration. 📅 January..
Read MoreThe scarcity of viable donor organs remains a restrictive bottleneck in thoracic transplantation. To expand the donor pool, transplant networks increasingly utilize "extended-criteria" or marginal donor lungs. However,..
Read MorePreoperative Diagnosis: Malignant lung tumor of the right lung with extensive invasion into the Right Pulmonary Artery (RPA) and the right-sided superior and inferior pulmonary veins. Procedure..
Read MoreAbstract Background Neonatal cardiac surgery is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Perioperative metabolic stress may result in distinct metabolic phenotypes associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Objectives The purpose of..
Read MoreAbstract High-pressure excursions (HPE) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are rare but potentially life-threatening events linked to coagulation activation, inflammation. Known risk factors include male sex, large body surface area (BSA),..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To compare myocardial protection afforded by three single-dose cardioplegic solutions — Custodiol (HTK), del Nido (DN) and modified del Nido (MDN) — in adult elective cardiac surgery. Design Double-blind randomised..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: To describe surgical outcomes, in-hospital mortality, and variables associated with mortality in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) at a national referral center in México over 14..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Vasoplegic shock is distributive shock that follows cardiopulmonary bypass, characterized by hypotension, low systemic vascular resistance, and catecholamine resistance despite preserved or elevated cardiac output. Reported incidence ranges..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Fibrinogen/albumin ratio (F/A ratio) has been proposed as a prognostic factor for different outcomes in different clinical settings, including cardiovascular interventions. However, few studies address the F/A ratio..
Read MoreAbstract Background/Objectives: Postoperative complications following adult cardiac surgery are biologically interrelated, yet most machine learning models predict single outcomes. We developed an explainable multi-output model integrating routinely collected clinical variables..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Cyanotic congenital heart diseases, which occur in approximately 0.2% of live births in the United States, have high mortality rates if untreated, but survival to adulthood is common with..
Read MoreAbstract Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a frequent complication of cardiac surgery. The present study aimed to quantify changes in Mini‑Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores following on‑pump cardiac surgery and..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Discussions continue on the ideal priming fluid in adult cardiac surgery. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the effects of different types of priming fluids..
Read MoreAbstract Aortic manipulation and prolonged ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass remain major drivers of perioperative complications. Optimizing clamping strategies is crucial to minimize iatrogenic blood loss and improve recovery profiles within..
Read MoreAbstract This “Pro” argument supports the routine incorporation of point-of-care viscoelastic testing (VET) into perioperative bleeding management algorithms for all cardiac surgery patients. This group of patients remains among the..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Uncertainty remains regarding whether the time of day that cardiac surgery is performed affects postoperative outcomes or if the observed variation can be explained by patient or surgical..
Read MoreEstimada comunidad global de ECMO Nos sentimos honrados de invitarlos al VII Congreso ELSO LATAM, la principal reunión de profesionales y expertos en el campo del Soporte Vital Extracorpóreo (ECLS)..
Read MoreJoin us for an insightful ECMO webinar on Mobility & Rehabilitation for Patients Supported on ECMO, featuring (Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi). 📅 Saturday 8th August 2026 🕓 4:00 – 5:00..
Read MoreWe are thrilled to share the full and official programme of this first edition of ETS2026. A heartful thank you to all member of the Faculty for sharing experience and..
Read MoreChers collègues, chers amis, L’équipe de La Pitié est heureuse de vous accueillir pour ces 39èmes Journées de Transplantation et d’Assistance Circulatoire, autour de valeurs communes pour ces 3 journées..
Read MorePresentación Nos complace presentar la décima edición de ECMOBARNA, un programa de formación consolidado como una referencia nacional e internacional en soporte vital extracorpóreo (ECLS/ECMO). A lo largo de estos..
Read MoreAbstract Traditional methods of heart transplantation utilizing allografts from donors after circulatory death (DCD) involve 2 periods of ischemia and 2 ischemia reperfusion injuries (IRI). Both ischemia and IRI are..
Read MoreAbstract Conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB) remains fundamental to modern cardiac surgery, yet its associated hemodilution, blood–air interaction, inflammatory activation, coagulation disturbance, and microembolic burden continue to affect perioperative organ protection..
Read MoreAbstract Background Female patients have a higher incidence and greater severity of neurocognitive decline (NCD) after cardiac surgery. We investigated whether sex hormones play a role in this difference. Methods..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a major complication that worsens patient outcomes and increases healthcare costs. This study aimed to investigate the association between..
Read MoreAbstract Neurological injury remains a major concern during neonatal aortic arch surgery. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is commonly used to monitor cerebral oxygenation but does not provide direct quantitative information on..
Read MoreAbstract A critical aspect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is achieving full anticoagulation to prevent thrombosis and consumptive coagulation (CCA). Systemic anticoagulation with heparin during CPB should be completely neutralized by..
Read MoreAbstract Background Preoperative intravenous iron has become increasingly popular as a strategy to optimize hemoglobin before major surgery. However, its potential benefit in non-anaemic patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains unclear...
Read MoreAbstract Background Optimal oxygenation strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease remain controversial. Although hyperoxia has traditionally been used to compensate for chronic hypoxemia, concerns..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To evaluate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on peripheral white blood cell counts, neutrophil surface marker expression, and neutrophil function by comparing patients undergoing on-pump CABG (ONCAB)..
