Abstract Purpose: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a nonphysiological procedure in which inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress are induced, hormones and hemodynamic parameters are affected, and circulation is maintained outside the body...

Abstract Background: The anatomy of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) can be highly variable with regard to number, anatomic origin, course, and relationship to the native pulmonary arteries. Some MAPCAs travel..

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with systemic inflammation. Ultrafiltration used throughout the cardiopulmonary bypass time, continuously, is hypothesized to be an immunomodulatory therapy. Methods A systematic..

Abstract Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated from unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin that results in thrombocytopenia and potentially catastrophic thrombosis. HIT occurs due to the development of platelet-activating antibodies against multimolecular..

Abstract Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) can re-establish tissue perfusion in refractory cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Levosimendan showed potential benefit in VA-ECMO weaning and mortality but was not..

Abstract Dual circulation is a common but underrecognized physiological occurrence associated with peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Competitive flow will develop between blood ejected from the heart and blood..

Abstract Purpose Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 150 × 109/L) is common in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and is likely associated with worse outcomes. In this study we present international contemporary data on thrombocytopenia..

Abstract Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) provokes a systemic inflammatory response. This is mainly triggered by contact activation of blood by artificial surfaces of the extracorporeal circuit. Although often..
