Abstract Congenital pulmonary anomalies are rare and can vary in their presentation. Unilateral lung agenesis implies absence of lungs and lung blood vessels, whereas the principal bronchus can be absent..
Read MoreAbstract The American Society of ExtraCorporeal Technology (AmSECT) has created the following document based on clinical evidence and currently accepted perfusion practices. Perfusionists are the only allied healthcare professionals formally..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aims Despite of the effectiveness of on pump cardiac surgeries in valvular diseases, cardioplegic arrest and myocardial reperfusion injury are still an obstacle. Many cardioprotective additives are..
Read MoreAbstract Electroencephalogram (EEG) approaches may provide important information about developmental changes in brain-state dynamics during general anesthesia. We used multi-electrode EEG, analyzed with multitaper spectral methods and video recording of..
Read MoreAbstract Revised guidelines clarify indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Limited data exist to compare clinical outcomes..
Read MoreAbstract Functional or secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Mechanistically, secondary MR is attributable to an imbalance between mitral leaflet tethering and closure forces,..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has increasingly been used for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD) despite limited supporting data. Objective To assess whether initial TEVAR following uTBAD is associated..
Read MoreAbstract This article introduces management algorithms to support operators in choosing the best strategy for metabolic management during cardiopulmonary bypass using artificial intelligence systems. We developed algorithms for the identification..
Read MorePatient with Huge LA tumor extension from all pulmonary Veins and invasion to mitral valve undergone complete tumor excision and pulmonary veins release in half commando operation technique with repair..
Read MorePatient with Severe Aortic Stenosis and post Stenotic dilatation undergone AVR with biological valve as well as reduction aortoplasty. [playlist ids="36675"] Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical..
Read MoreAbstract Originally intended for life-saving salvage therapy, the use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices has become increasingly widespread in a variety of clinical settings in the contemporary era...
Read MoreAbstract Objectives A conclusive interpretation of the role of ventricular dominance in outcomes after Fontan palliation has not been formulated yet. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of scientific..
Read MoreAbstract Heart failure (HF) is common in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients; however, use of continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (CF-VADs) remains rare. We reviewed outcomes of patients with congenital heart..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: To assess the association of timing to prone positioning (PP) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) with the probability of being discharged alive from the ICU at..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 55-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma in the context of a hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infection since the year 2000, who was hospitalized and scheduled for an..
Read MorePatient with ascending aorta aneurysm and severe coarctation undergone bental with ascending aorta replacement and proximal to distal arch bypass for coarctation weaned from CPB uneventfully. [playlist ids="36654"] Dr.Sam..
Read MoreNon-invasive respiratory support for neonatal patients Challenges of invasive respiratory support and rescue therapy for neonatal patients Edi-monitoring, NIV NAVA and NAVA for neonatal patients
Read MoreAbstract Limited data exist to guide antimicrobial therapy commonly prescribed to patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This study aimed to describe the kinetics of the cefazolin, doripenem, daptomycin, and levofloxacin in..
Read MoreAbstract In patients in cardiogenic shock (CS), mechanical circulatory support (MCS) may improve systemic perfusion without increasing myocardial work. Restoration of oxygen delivery with reduced myocardial oxygen demand favors myocardial..
Read MoreAbstract We have read the review article entitled “Controversies in ECMO: Immediate versus Watchful Waiting for VA-ECMO Venting” by Cavayas and colleagues, published in the Special Issue of Invited Presentations:..
Read MoreAbstract What is known and objective Emergent cardiac surgery in patients under anticoagulant therapy is still a major point of concern. Recently approved reversal agents are often not available or..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Poor medullary oxygenation is implicated in the evolution of acute kidney injury. The authors sought to determine if increasing systemic flow and mean arterial pressure could improve urine..
Read MoreAbstract Much has been written about the challenges of surgeon engagement in quality and safety improvement work. In Taitz and colleagues’ 2011 seminal work, one interviewee alluded to the difficulties..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction After cardiac surgery, patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) have a higher risk of nosocomial infection in the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to establish an..
