Abstract Mechanical circulatory support devices have been approved as bridge to transplantation, as bridge to recovery, or as destination therapy to treat end-stage heart failure. The perioperative challenges for the..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) protocols generally require systemic anticoagulation with heparin to prevent circuit thrombosis. The prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of heparin resistance in this setting are ill-defined. To better..

Abstract Background  is one of the main natural  inhibitors. It is potentiated by heparin, and may be a key component of heparin response, particularly in infants aged <1 year. We sought to..

Abstract Optimal anticoagulation monitoring in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is fundamental to avoid hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications. Besides conventional coagulation tests, there is growing interest in the use..

Abstract Objectives To determine whether precardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) normalization of  levels in infants to 100% improves heparin sensitivity and  during CPB and has beneficial effects into the . Design Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled prospective..

Abstract Systemic anticoagulation is a standard of care in adult patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to prevent circuit thrombosis and subsequent thromboembolic events. Unfractionated heparin has long been..

Objective Adequate , measured using  (ACT), is important during vascular and cardiac surgeries. Unfractionated heparin is the most common  used. The purpose of this analysis was to compare the i-STAT ACT (iACT) to..

Abstract There is a delicate balance between bleeding and clotting in patients on circuits such as ventricular assist devices or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Traditional coagulation tests, prothrombin time, activated partial..

Abstract Essentials   Heparin‐protamine balance (HPB) modulates bleeding after neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). HPB was examined in 44 neonates undergoing CPB. Post‐operative bleeding occurred in 36% and heparin rebound in..

Abstract Unfractionated heparin is the first anticoagulant drug and has been successfully used clinically for over 80 years. Heparin and its analogues are used during surgery and dialysis and are..

Abstract Thromboelastography is increasingly utilized in the management of bleeding and thrombotic complications where heparin management remains a cornerstone. This study assessed the feasibility of the cartridge-based TEG® 6s system (Haemonetics..

Abstract Introduction: Accurate dosing of protamine reversal following on-pump cardiac surgical procedures is challenging, with both excessive and inadequate administration recognised to increase bleeding risk. We aimed to examine the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Background Heparin resistance (HR) is often encountered during cardiovascular operations that require cardiopulmonary bypass. Clinical risk factors and the mechanism underlying heparin resistance are yet to be determined. The aim..

Abstract A heparin-specific binding peptide was conjugated to a cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) capsid protein, which was subsequently allowed to encapsulate heparin and form capsid-like protein cages. The encapsulation..

Background There is a lack of consensus on how to manage anticoagulation during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, including antithrombin monitoring and supplementation. The authors’ aim was to determine current practice..

Abstract Dose adjustment of unfractionated heparin (UFH) anticoagulation is an important factor to reduce hemorrhagic events. High doses of heparin can be monitored by Activated Clotting Time (ACT). Because of..
