Abstract Heart transplantation (HT) is markedly constrained due to a critical shortage of suitable organs from donors in brain death (DBD). Transplantation of hearts donated after circulatory death (DCD) has..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract We conducted a high-risk redo mitral valve replacement through a right mini-thoracotomy without rib spreading (redo-MICS MVR) under systemic hyperkalemia combined with circulatory arrest to circumvent complications associated with..
Lee masAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and important complication of cardiac surgery. Decreased perfusion is a key mechanism. This decreased perfusion may be attenuated by intravenous amino..
Lee masAbstract Background: Improvement in professional advancement opportunities may reduce turnover and improve retention for perfusionists. However, the current literature lacks examples of professional advancement models (PAMs) for perfusionists. Methods: This..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract Background: The use of cell salvage and autologous blood transfusion is an important and widespread method of blood conservation during surgeries with expected high blood loss. The continuous autotransfusion..
Lee masAbstract Background Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common type of hospital‐acquired infection and affects up to a third of patients following surgical procedures. It is associated with significant mortality..
Lee masAbstract Background Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare cardiac anomaly. The management strategy historically consisted of physiologic repair, leaving the morphologic right ventricle to support..
Lee masAbstract Background Cardiac arrest in pregnancy is rare. Clinicians need to adapt management to the altered anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, and the well-being of two patients (mother and foetus)..
Lee masAbstract Purpose Whether skin disinfection of the surgical site using chlorhexidine-alcohol is superior to povidone-iodine-alcohol in reducing reoperation and surgical site infection rates after major cardiac surgery remains unclear. Methods..
Lee masAbstract Background Over 100 countries do not have a local cardiac surgeon, whereas capacity, coverage, or cultural constrains may limit access to cardiac surgical care in-country. This scoping review aims..
Lee masAbstract Children requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) or cardiac surgery often undergo cervical cannulation or carotid artery clamping, which can interrupt cerebral circulation. Inadequate collateral flow through the..
Lee masAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is mainly used for support of patients with cardiopulmonary collapse. The increasing use of ECMO has shown promising outcomes; however, it still carries the..
Lee masAbstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has become an essential lifesaving intervention for individuals with severe cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Its application is expanding across several therapeutic contexts, surpassing conventional indications...
Lee masAbstract Objective Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) utilizes veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in cardiac arrest patients to reduce the risk of mortality and multiorgan dysfunction from systemic hypoperfusion. We aimed..
Lee masAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is an established supportive therapy for severe and potentially reversible acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [, ]. Despite improving patient outcomes, including reducing mortality, VV-ECMO..
Lee masAbstract 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..
Lee masAbstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an effective and safe treatment for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. The indication to TAVI should be agreed upon by..
Lee masAbstract Cardiac surgery, both adult and pediatric, has developed very rapidly and impressively over the past 7 decades. Pediatric cardiac surgery, in particular, has revolutionized the management of babies born..

Lee masPercutaneous femoral venous cannulation is a vital skill for cardiac surgeons, especially in complex procedures such as redo sternotomy and ECMO. This video demonstrates the key technical steps for insertion..
Lee masAnticoagulation management during veno-venous ECMO support because of ARDS: Single-center experience
Abstract Background Patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) show a high mortality rate of up to 60 %. In such cases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is often required,..
Lee masAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a venovenous configuration (VV-ECMO) is increasingly recognized as an important therapeutic option for patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Accumulating scientific evidence as well..
Lee masAbstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) fundamentally alters patient physiology and blood flow relevant to contrast delivery for computed tomography (CT) imaging. Here, we present a comprehensive guide to..
