Abstract Objective Previous studies reported a poor outcome in patients with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) undergoing cardiac surgery. Complications most frequently described were respiratory failure, renal failure, and thromboembolic events. In..
Read MoreAbstract Background The present study aims to compare regional oxygen supply determined by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the course of pulsatile perfusion with non-pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing..
Read MoreAbstract The operation of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system requires skilled techniques and experience. Intraoperatively, the perfusionist needs to intermittently manipulate both of the occluders on the venous- and arterial-line..
Read MoreAbstract Objective This study aimed to explore the effect of intraoperative blood salvage (autotransfusion) on coagulation function in the rescue of an obstetric hemorrhage. Methods A total of 65 pregnant..
Read MoreAbstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may be used for circulatory support in cardiogenic shock as a bridge to recovery, a bridge to a ventricular assist device (VAD), or a bridge..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction We investigated the clinical course and outcomes of patients submitted to cardiovascular surgery in Brazil and who had developed symptoms/signs of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the perioperative..
Read MoreAbstract Fluid overload in acute respiratory distress syndrome is associated with increased mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of cumulative fluid balance (CFB) during the..
Read MoreAbstract As a source of growth factors for expediting wound healing and tissue regeneration, plasma-rich plasma (PRP) has been extensively applied in diverse fields including orthopaedics, ophthalmology, oral and maxillofacial..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of cardiopulmonary support primarily used in cardiothoracic and intensive care unit (ICU) settings. The purpose of this review is to familiarise radiologists..

Read MoreIntroduction National health expenditures rose to 3.8 trillion dollars in 2019, 18% of gross domestic product, and are continuing to rise at an unsustainable rate. Aggregate costs for hospitalizations associated with..
Read MoreAbstract Without effective treatment, pulmonary arterial hypertension results in high morbidity and mortality. This review discusses the pathogenesis of the disorder, the thorough clinical evaluation required to establish the diagnosis,..
Read MoreAbstract Background management during venoarterial (ECMO) is particularly difficult in postcardiotomy shock patients given a significant bleeding risk. We sought to determine the effect of treatment on bleeding and thrombosis risk for..
Read MoreAbstract The risk of redo sternotomy is greatly elevated in the setting of aortic proximity to the sternum. Current strategies to avoid catastrophic neurologic injury upon sternal reentry include establishment..
Read MoreIntroduction The increasing burden of valvular heart disease (VHD)—in particular in an ageing population—is recognized by medical experts, although there is less awareness of these conditions by the general public..
Read MoreAbstract Background The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services decreased reimbursement rates for peripheral venoarterial (VA) (ECMO) and venovenous (VV) ECMO procedures in October 2018. Limited data are available describing hospital..
Read MoreAbstract Background Hyperlactatemia is associated with a poor prognosis in cardiac surgery patients. This study explored the impact of target blood pressure management during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on blood lactate..
Read MoreAbstract Objective (SCI) is a devastating complication of repair. We aim to characterize current practices pertaining to SCI prevention and treatment across Canada. Methods Two questionnaires were developed by the Canadian..
Read MoreAbstract Objective We aimed to determine the effects of selective antegrade compared with other perfusion strategies on indices of cerebral blood flow, oxygenation, cellular stress, and mitochondrial function. Methods One-week-old piglets..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced, resource-intensive form of life support for patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure, and is typically provided within specialized centers. Prior to..
