Lire la suiteAbstract Objectives Antithrombin (AT) deficiency is considered the primary cause of heparin resistance (HR); however, some patients with HR have normal AT activity (AT-independent HR). Supplementation with concentrated human AT..
Lire la suiteAbstract Solutions to reduce the need for systemic anticoagulation during extracorporeal life support would improve safety and utility. The study objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a..
Lire la suiteAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of life support for critically ill patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure. Interactions between patient blood and ECMO biomaterials increase the..
Lire la suiteAbstract Objective To review and compare the frequency of thrombus and adverse events in patients treated with heparin or bivalirudin systemic anticoagulation strategies supported on combined venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation..
Lire la suiteAbstract Background Veno‑venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‑ECMO) is associated with a high transfusion burden. While trials have concluded that red blood cell (RBC) storage does not impact patient morbidity and..
Lire la suiteAbstract Background Evidence for the effectiveness of the Sonoclot analyzer in improving clinical outcomes in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is lacking. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of an algorithm based..
Lire la suiteAbstract Aortic surgeries are associated with intraoperative blood loss, often requiring allogeneic blood transfusion. Therefore, blood must be viewed as a scarce resource that carries risks and benefits. Many preoperative..
Lire la suiteAbstract Rapid hemodynamic stabilization and restoration of pulmonary perfusion are the cornerstones of treatment for high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). While all current guidelines recommend systemic thrombolysis (SYS) as the first-line..
Lire la suiteAbstract Objective To report differences between 2 anticoagulation protocols during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) intraoperative support and their effects on outcomes after lung transplantation. Methods We performed a retrospective..
Lire la suiteAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in patients after cardiac surgery; however, anticoagulation management has consistently been challenging. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of a..
Lire la suiteAbstract Purpose of review Coronary artery bypass grafting, revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention, and heart valve surgery are crucial therapeutic interventions for patients with various cardiovascular diseases. The objective of..
Lire la suiteAbstract Background Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest is the standard approach for the surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of..
