Abstract Aim This meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in lung transplantation. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for..
Read MoreAbstract During pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart disease, systemic hemodynamics dramatically change, which also causes changes in the cerebral hemodynamics. One of the representative methods..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) triggers marked cytokine release often followed by a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. This trial investigates the intraoperative use of haemoadsorption..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Objective. Continuous monitoring of the hemodynamic coherence between macro and microcirculation is difficult at the bedside. We tested the role of photoplethysmography (PPG) to real-time assessment of microcirculation during..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To develop and validate a predictive model for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery in Chinese patients with normal preoperative renal function. Method From January..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The impact of non heparin-induced thrombocytopenia on the clinical outcomes for pediatric cardiac surgery patients who required veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane support (VA-ECMO) for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary..
Read MoreAbstract 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,..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Objective Patients undergoing cardiac surgery consume more than 50% of blood transfusions, and such transfusions have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Evidence in blood-saving techniques..
Read MoreAbstract 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)..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Cardiotomy suction blood is used in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery to maintain blood volume in the CPB system, although it is known to contain micro emboli, cytokines and..
Read MoreAbstract Background Understanding of the hemostatic and complement alterations associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric patients and the impact of these alterations on outcome is limited. Objectives The present..
Read MoreAbstract Background This study examined the association between cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) hematocrit and postoperative acute renal failure (ARF) in patients undergoing aortic arch surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest. Methods The..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) for mitral valve repair often uses cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) through peripheral femoro-femoral cannulation. A rare complication of differential hypoxemia can cause upper body..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is essential for the conduct of open-heart procedures. While lifesaving, CPB can be associated with significant end-organ injuries believed to result from inflammatory responses triggered by..
