A precise blood transfusion evaluation model for aortic surgery: a single-center retrospective study
Abstract Cardiac aortic surgery is an extremely complicated procedure that often requires large volume blood transfusions during the operation. Currently, it is not possible to accurately estimate the intraoperative blood..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine whether perioperative changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) relate to postoperative neurological deficits in patients undergoing aortic arch surgery involving..
Read MoreAbstract Background This study seeks to assess the outcomes of direct (AX) for . Methods From October 2009 to November 2021 direct AX was planned in 515 patients for thoracic aortic pathology. An important..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in aortic surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality despite evolving strategies. With the advent of antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP), moderate hypothermic circulatory..
Read MoreAbstract Objective (SCI) is a devastating complication of repair. We aim to characterize current practices pertaining to SCI prevention and treatment across Canada. Methods Two questionnaires were developed by the Canadian..
Read MoreAbstract Aims The aim of this study was to document the postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), the evolution of HCA management over time and to identify the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the operative and early postoperative results of the use of del Nido solution (dNCS) with traditional blood cardioplegia..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Although conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB) is still the most widely used method in open heart surgery, methods such as retrograde autologous priming (RAP) are increasingly popular in terms..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES To improve organ protection with the frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure, a so-called four-sites perfusion in combination with proximalization for the distal aortic anastomosis was performed...
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aim Although bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy might influence aortic aneurysm development, BAV‐related root involvement still lacks standardized surgical management. We aimed to evaluate late clinical outcomes..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To evaluate the effect of autologous whole blood (AWB) collection on intraoperative/postoperative allogeneic blood transfusion rate in complex aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest. Methods This retrospective study..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: To investigate whether human serum albumin coating before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) could improve platelet function and hemostasis and mitigate the inflammatory response among patients receiving aortic arch replacement..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Aortic surgery often causes massive bleeding due to hypofibrinogenemia. Predicting hypofibrinogenemia is useful for developing a hemostasis strategy, including preparing for blood transfusion. We made a formula for..
Read MoreAbstract Background Surgical and cerebral protection strategies in remain under debate. Perioperative results using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) have been associated with favorable short-term mortality and stroke rates. The present..
