Abstract Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative hemoadsorption (HA) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in reducing acute kidney injury (AKI) and other major postoperative complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a well-established procedure that uses cannulae during cardiac surgery to drain and return blood. In challenging cases (e.g. aortic dissection, reoperation), peripheral cannulation in..

Abstract Background Heparin is commonly administered to prevent thrombosis during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, the development of intracardiac thrombi under CPB has still been reported. Case summary A 79-year-old man..

Abstract Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but potentially fatal disorder characterized by a hypermetabolic state produced by exposure to triggering agents such as volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine., MH crises have..

Abstract Background Advances in medicine lead to an increase in the number of patients with concurrent heart disease and cancer. We investigated the effect of cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass..

Abstract Objectives This study hypothesizes that induced hypothermia (IH) can safely extend aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time, significantly reducing metabolic burden and end-organ injury, thereby enabling more comprehensive aortic arch reconstructions..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is one of the most groundbreaking medical innovations in history, enabling safe and effective heart surgery by temporarily replacing the function of the heart and lungs...

Abstract Objectives Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or life support (ECLS) circuits are built from polymers and might release polymeric micro- and nanoparticles (MNP) into the circulation...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background During cardiac surgery the use of a minimal extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) system may reduce the adverse effects for the patient. This is probably caused by reduced inflammation and..

Abstract BACKGROUND The choice of priming and volume replacement fluids during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery impacts hemodynamic stability, coagulation, renal function, and patient outcomes. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4..

Abstract Objectives The central cannulation technique was introduced at our institution in 2018 and has evolved into a primary cannulation strategy for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) surgery. This..

Abstract Background The membrane oxygenator is a critical component of extracorporeal circulation (ECC), whose performance directly depends on its structural architecture. Differences in fiber geometry and winding patterns lead to..

Abstract To the Editor: I wish to share the results of a retrospective observational correlation study I completed recently. While it is well established that the platelet count is negatively..

Abstract Background: Delirium after cardiac surgery is associated with poor outcomes. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) increases blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and neuroinflammation, contributing to delirium. While microglial activation after CPB has..

Abstract Vasoplegic syndrome is a life-threatening condition characterized by uncontrolled peripheral vasodilation, leading to profound arterial hypotension. Treatments include catecholamines, vasopressin, methylene blue (MB), hydroxocobalamin, angiotensin II, and ascorbic acid...

Abstract BACKGROUNDS  In patients with cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), postoperative inflammation is a driver of adverse outcomes. Endotoxaemia is one of the factors thought to trigger this inflammatory..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Cardiac surgery is associated with an increased dioxygen (O2) consumption (VO2) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). But data on intraoperative VO2 variation during pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) are scarce. We aimed..

Abstract Objective: We herein probed the effects of ozone autohemotherapy (O3-AHT) on inflammatory response and postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: Totally, 130..

Abstract Background Cardioplegia is delivered via antegrade, retrograde, or combined perfusion routes. Antegrade cardioplegia follows the physiological path but may be less effective in patients with severe coronary disease. Retrograde..
