Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the operational feasibility of a self-designed minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation integrated circuit (miECC) type IV system and to assess the effectiveness of the..
Read More
Abstract Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are widely used. Previous methods to reduce inflammation have shown inconsistent results. We developed a cytokine adsorption column using polymethyl methacrylate..

Abstract 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..
Read More
Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a crucial support for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure, but its availability is limited, often requiring patient transport to specialized centers. Only..
