Abstract BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to present our institutional experience with periprocedural management of emergency cesarean section (CS) operations and maternal and fetal cardiac complications in pregnant..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Excessive right heart load imposes an acute or chronic injury on the right ventricle (RV), predisposing critically ill neonates and cardiac surgical patients to RV failure, low cardiac output..

Abstract Background Protamine has a more difficult side-effect profile. Circulatory collapse has been reported as a result of acute pulmonary artery spasm caused by complement cascade activation by large heparin–protamine..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Pulmonary hypertension is a risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. The use of a combination of inhaled vasodilator agents could have an improved effect on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Heart transplantation remains the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage heart failure, but severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) poses a significant challenge due to the increased risk of..

Abstract In neonates with pulmonary hypertension (PH) supported on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), keeping the ductus arteriosus (DA) open ensures a high cardiac output of well-oxygenated blood through the..

Abstract   OBJECTIVES In upper-income countries, infants undergo low-risk ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair. Children in low- and middle-income countries frequently present at older ages with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients with pulmonary hypertension and end-stage lung disease are fraught with high mortality while on a waiting list for lung transplant. With sometimes rapid deterioration they may require veno-arterial..
