Read MoreIn a first-of-its-kind surgery, a 57-year-old patient with terminal heart disease received a successful transplant of a genetically-modified pig heart and is still doing well three days later. It was..
Read MoreAbstract Background. Temporary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been described in select patients, and data are limited on the CardioHELP device (Maquet). The..
Read MoreAbstract Background During peripheral extracorporeal veno-arterial membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support, subclavian arterial cannulation provides, in comparison to femoral arterial cannulation, an anterograde flow which may prevent from left ventricular (LV)..
Read MoreAbstract Background Postoperative cognitive decline occurs commonly after cardiac surgery. The available literature is inconclusive on the role of intraoperative causal or protective factors. Methods We systematically reviewed studies evaluating..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Achieving effective anticoagulation during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) without increasing the risk of hemorrhage remains challenging. The use of antithrombin III (AT-III) for this purpose has been..
Read MoreAbstract A model of cavitation bubbles is derived in liquid confined in an elastic sealed vessel driven by ultrasound. In this model, an assumption that the pressure acting on the..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Unfractionated heparin is widely used as an anticoagulant for extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and usually monitored with activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Due to its limitations in pediatric..
Read MoreAbstract Background:Patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can rapidly undergo veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) therapy to recover cardiac output and decrease mortality. However, the clinical..
Read MoreAbstract Metabolism management plays an essential role in extracorporeal technologies. There are different metabolic management devices integrated to extracorporeal devices; the most commonly used and accepted metabolic target in adult..
Read MoreAbstract Open access (OA) publishing is increasing, allowing articles to be read by anyone, anywhere. The publishing costs for these articles (article processing charges, APCs) are typically paid by the..
Read MoreAbstract Background The use and effectiveness of intraoperative cell salvage has been analyzed in many surgical specialties. Until now, no data exist evaluating the efficacy of intraoperative cell salvage in..
Read MoreAbstract Background Laboratory studies demonstrate glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) as a potent cardioprotective intervention, but clinical trials have yielded mixed results, likely because of varying formulas and timing of GIK treatment and..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The aim of this study was to quantify and understand the unloading effect of percutaneous balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) in acute (CS) treated with venoarterial (VA) membranous oxygenation (ECMO). Background..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Background A relation between the left ventricular assist device inflow cannula (IC) malposition and pump thrombus has been reported. This study aimed to investigate if the pump position, derived..
Read MoreAbstract Background To investigate the impact of the dynamic oxygenation status on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods This retrospective study was performed..
Read MoreSpinal cord injury secondary to coarctation repair in children is a serious, though relatively uncommon, complication. Several measures have been proposed to minimize this risk, which seems to affect more..
