Read MoreAbstract Objectives The authors aimed to assess whether untreated preoperative anemia was associated with increased risk for adverse outcomes after the arterial switch operation in neonates with dextro-transposition of the..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of Review Cardiopulmonary bypass for on-pump cardiac surgery induces a systemic inflammation that may contribute to postoperative major complications. To reduce this inflammatory response in patients undergoing heart..
Read MoreAbstract For cardiopulmonary bypass, the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) circuit which can initiate the activation of platelets and the coagulation cascade after blood cell contacting is the possible detrimental effect. Surface..
Read MoreAbstract Blood pumps have been increasingly used in mechanically assisted circulation for ventricular assistance and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support or during cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery. However, there have always..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Stroke remains a potentially devastating complication of aortic arch intervention. The value of neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring (NIOM) in the early identification of stroke is unclear. We evaluated the..
Read MoreAbstract A 54-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a prolonged dypsnea, orthopnoea, and chest pain that has lasted for almost 2 weeks. Physical examination revealed symptoms of heart..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Distal aortic perfusion (DaP) is a widely accepted protective adjunct facilitating early reinstitution of visceral perfusion during extended thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aortic repair. DaP has..

Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in critical care to manage patients with severe respiratory and cardiac failure. ECMO brings blood from a critically ill patient into contact with..
Read MoreAbstract Background Red blood cell transfusion is common and associated with adverse outcomes for cardiac surgery, while present blood conservation guidelines have not been fully implemented until now. This study..
Read MoreAbstract The recent emergence of microfluidic extracorporeal lung support technologies presents an opportunity to achieve high gas transfer efficiency and improved hemocompatibility relative to the current standard of care in..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Older patients have a higher cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) related mortality. Low oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a risk factor for..
Read MoreAbstract Background del Nido cardioplegia has been adopted for use in adult cardiac surgery, despite a lack of robust randomised evidence supporting equivalence or superiority to conventional hyperkalaemic blood cardioplegia...
Read MoreAbstract Background Blood pressure variability (BPV), defined as the degree of variation between discrete blood pressure readings, is associated with poor outcomes in acute care settings. Acute kidney injury (AKI)..
Read MoreAbstract Objective The objective was to determine the optimal cell saver device settings (infusion rate and wash rate) at which hematocrit is preserved and potassium and lactate are removed from..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: A high-pressure excursion (HPE) is a sudden increase in oxygenator inlet pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aims of this study were to identify factors associated with HPE,..
Read MoreAbstract Since the first endovascular aortic repair in 1990, endovascular devices and the indications for their use have significantly grown. Considerable progress has been made in endovascular devices and techniques,..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Electronic cigarette or vaping product use–associated lung injury is a clinical entity that can lead to respiratory failure and death. Despite the severity of electronic cigarette or vaping product use–associated lung injury,..
