Abstract Background Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the preferred treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Crystalloid priming solutions cause hemodilution..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Studies into the mechanisms of cardiopulmonary bypass-associated acute lung injury have not presented breakthroughs for many years, resulting in the stagnation of management strategies and clinical medicine measures. This..

Abstract We read with great interest the article by Kowara et al.,[] which highlights the potential of PvCO2 × Ve/Q as a key predictive marker for hyperlactatemia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with impaired renal oxygenation and acute kidney injury. We investigated whether a higher than our standard blood flow during CPB..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which is frequently utilized in open-heart surgery, the maintenance of circulation in a non-physiological environment may lead to alterations in the properties of circulating..

Abstract Background Despite sternum sparing and without cardiopulmonary bypass, the actual value of minimally invasive coronary surgery (MICS) is still debatable. This study aimed to compare the completeness of revascularization..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) has been introduced to mitigate the inflammatory response and reduce blood transfusion needs compared to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) perioperatively. A hybrid system..
