Abstract Optimized Extracorporeal Perfusion Strategy: A New Concept Early heart-lung machines were mechanically simple, with rudimentary monitoring capabilities, and caused pronounced physiological disturbances due to large priming volumes and uncoated..

Abstract OBJECTIVES The optimal flow rate for selective antegrade cerebral perfusion during aortic arch surgery is unknown. While 10–15 ml/kg/min is generally recommended, our centre has adopted a line pressure-targeted, relatively..

Abstract Objective: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) via the right axillary artery (RAA) has become an alternative perfusion strategy, especially in complex aortic procedures. This study delineates our technique and outcome with..

Abstract Early and long-term outcomes in patients with pulmonary atresia-intact ventricular septum undergoing staged univentricular palliations have been known to be adversely affected by the presence of right ventricle–dependent coronary..

Abstract Objectives In patients with atherosclerotic disease, minimally invasive cardiac surgery using retrograde perfusion for cardiopulmonary bypass via femoral cannulation (FC) carries a higher risk of brain embolization compared with..
