Abstract OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease can develop as a long-term complication after cardiac surgery—a condition associated with increased risk of new cardiovascular events, readmissions and mortality. Diagnosis is often delayed,..
Read More
Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has emerged as a promising intervention for refractory cardiac arrest, with potential benefits in survival and neurological outcomes. However, the impact of ECPR’s rapid,..
