Abstract Cardiovascular diseases persist as a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, despite significant advances in diagnostic and surgical approaches. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) represents a branch of fluid mechanics..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is a relatively safe and mainstay treatment commonly used in cardiac surgical patients. However, there is limited evidence on clinical effects of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Controversy has emerged around how to treat patients who were placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) expecting recovery, organ transplant, or durable device, but who can no longer be..

Abstract Objective To investigate whether  is impaired after neonatal cardiac surgery and whether changes in  metrics are associated with different  or the incidence of postoperative neurologic events. Methods This is a retrospective observational..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients on left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are prone to excessive hemostasis disturbances due to permanent contact of artificial pump surfaces with blood components. We aimed to investigate if..

Abstract Objective To determine the number of homologous blood transfusions received by canine surgical patients after introducing a cell salvage device (CSD), trends in surgeries requiring blood transfusion, and the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background and Aims In chronic ischaemic heart failure, revascularisation strategies control symptoms but are less effective in improving left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The aim of this trial is..

Abstract Machine learning algorithms are frequently used to clinical risk prediction. Our study was designed to predict risk factors of prolonged intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use in patients with coronary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) with different cut-off values has showed to be associated with different prognostic effect after cardiac surgery. Machine learning (ML) method has been widely used..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Axillary artery intra-aortic balloon pump (axIABP) placement has been implemented as a bridging solution before heart transplantation. This study evaluates complications associated with axIABP support and describes an approach..
