Read MoreAbstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) supports patients suffering from refractory cardiogenic shock. Thromboembolic complications (TeC) are common in VA-ECMO patients and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Valid..
Read MoreAbstract Combined resection of the superior vena cava is sometimes challenging during radical surgery for malignant mediastinal tumors. We report a case of a 21-year-old man with a malignant mediastinal germ cell tumor who underwent..
Read MoreAbstract Background Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the treatment option for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). OLT is often associated with high blood loss, requiring blood transfusion. Retransfusion of autologous blood is a..
Read MoreAbstract During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), high flows can allow an adequate perfusion to kidneys, but, on the other hand, they could cause emboli production, increased vascular pressure, and a more..
