Abstract Purpose Management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with inferior vena cava (IVC) extension is one of the greatest challenges in urology. The gold standard treatment includes extracorporeal circulation and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Thrombin generation (TG) is reduced after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), contributing to coagulopathy and bleeding. Plasma transfusion or four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) are commonly used to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The concept of mini cardiopulmonary bypass (mini-CPB) has been introduced in clinical practice from early 2000 for advancing perfusion technology aiming to improve cardiac surgical results. The diversity of custom-made..

Abstract BACKGROUND  Cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with the risk of acquired coagulopathy, including dysregulated fibrinolysis, which can result in life-threatening bleeding complications. Aprotinin, an antifibrinolytic agent,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract It remains controversial as to which optimal cannulation strategy ought to be employed in surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD). The aim of this study was to make..

Abstract Membrane oxygenator failure remains a concern for perfusion teams. Successful outcomes for this low-frequency, high-risk intervention are predicated on having written institutional protocols for both the oxygenator change-out procedure..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Open-lung ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTx) is a potential strategy to mitigate postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We utilized an ovine HTx..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background/Objectives: The optimal choice of cardioplegia solution in minimally invasive cardiac surgeries (MICS) remains debated, as prolonged myocardial protection is essential to avoid interruptions to the surgical flow, which..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are one of the most common congenital malformations and often require heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Children undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB are especially..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes a systemic inflammatory response that can worsen patient outcomes. Off-pump surgery has been associated with a reduced inflammatory response...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during paediatric cardiac surgery. Plasma-free haemoglobin (PFH) produced by haemolysis during CPB contributes to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective We sought to explore the linear or nonlinear relationship between preoperative iron metabolism and acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Patients who..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) or intravenous cangrelor to prevent thromboembolism in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) who undergo..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: We sought to comprehensively explore the potential linear and nonlinear relationship between preoperative iron metabolism and perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).    Methods: Patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Decreased cerebral oximetry (rSO2) in cardiac surgery is associated with postoperative delirium (POD). However, interventions optimizing intraoperative rSO2 are inconclusive.    Methods: In this prospective observational cohort study, the..

Abstract Heart transplantation (HT) is the gold standard treatment of end-stage heart disease. Waitlist mortality remains high due to a shortage of available donor organs. Donation after circulatory death (DCD)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a life-threatening condition, often leading to acute respiratory and cardiac failure. This study evaluates the role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To explore whether ultrafiltration (UF) volume adjusted for weight is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery patients...
