Abstract PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: CTSO), a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in intensive care and cardiac surgery using blood purification via its..
Lee masAbstract Background Bleeding and thrombosis are common extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) complications associated with increased mortality. Heparin is the most commonly used ECMO anticoagulant, employed in 94% of cases. Reduced..
Lee masAbstract Rationale: Patients with obesity are at increased risk for developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Some centers consider obesity a relative contraindication to receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support,..
Lee masAbstract In patients with acute MI complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) who are slated to undergo early revascularization, routine use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) doesn’t reduce 30-day mortality. The..
Lee masAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-support technique used to treat cardiac and pulmonary failure, including severe cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) involving acute respiratory distress syndrome. Blood..
Lee masAbstract Children who experience cardiac arrest are one and a half times more likely to survive at a hospital capable of providing the life support system called ECMO, research suggests...
Lee masAbstract Background Venoarterial (VA-ECMO) is increasingly used with despite the lack of evidence from adequately powered . Three trials reported so far were underpowered to detect a survival benefit; we therefore conducted an individual..
Lee masAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving cardiopulmonary bypass device used on critically ill patients with refractory heart and lung failure. Patients supported with ECMO receive numerous drugs to..
Lee masAbstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate whether a measure of subjective cognitive decline (SCD), the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Applied Cognition-Abilities questionnaire, was associated with postoperative delirium...
Lee masAbstract People from socioeconomically distressed communities who underwent heart transplantation between 2004 and 2018 faced a 10% greater relative risk of experiencing graft failure and dying within five years compared..
Lee masAbstract Introduction High-risk procedures in interventional cardiology include a wide spectrum of clinical and anatomical scenarios related to a higher periprocedural morbidity and mortality. The prophylactic use of short-term mechanical..
Lee masAbstract A new, lightweight (2.3 kg), ambulatory pulmonary assist system (PAS) underwent preliminary evaluation in ambulatory sheep. The PAS was purposefully designed for long-term extracorporeal respiratory support for chronic lung..
Lee masAbstract Left ventricular (LV) distention is a known complication of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) due to increased afterload stress. The consequences of LV distension include elevated pulmonary venous pressures leading to pulmonary edema and increased wall..
Lee masAbstract Ex vivo hemocompatibility testing is a vital element of preclinical assessment for blood-contacting medical devices. Current approaches are resource intensive; thus, we investigated the feasibility of accelerating hemocompatibility testing by standardizing..
Lee masAbstract Traditional ice storage has been the historic standard for preserving donor’s hearts. However, this approach provides variability in cooling, increasing risks of freezing injury. To date, no preservation technology..
Lee masAbstract Background is a group of disorders characterized by the inflammation of the aorta. The large-vessel are the most common causes of aortitis. long-term outcomes are not well known. Objectives The purpose..
Lee masAbstract Purpose: Most extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulations are performed by cardiothoracic surgeons (CTS). Due to an increase in utilization of ECMO and limited availability of CTS, there is a mismatch..
Lee masAbstract Background The removal of the HeartWare ventricular assist device (HVAD) due to pump malfunctions and inferior outcomes compared to HeartMate 3 (HM3) in adults has created a care gap..
Lee masAbstract Background Evidence-based recommendations for transfusion in patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) are scarce. The current literature is limited to single-center studies with small sample sizes, therefore..
Lee masAbstract Objectives: Peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with femoral access is obtained through unilateral or bilateral groin cannulation. Whether one cannulation strategy is associated with a lower risk for limb ischemia remains unknown...
Lee mas(Thanks to Navin Kumar for letting us share) Preface: Working as a perfusionist is a highly challenging and rewardingcareer path. The educational standards are high, and theprofession appeals to those..

Lee masAbstract The Obesity Paradox in Patients in Need of ECMO
Lee masAbstract , also known as Additive manufacturing (AM), has emerged as a transformative technology with applications across various industries, including the medical sector. This review paper provides an overview of..
Lee masAbstract OBJECTIVES Our goal was to evaluate the outcome of valve-sparing root replacement (VSRR) and to compare the outcomes to those of patients having composite valve–graft conduit aortic root replacement..
Lee masAbstract Objective Despite inherent comorbidities, obese cardiac surgical patients paradoxically had shown lower morbidity and mortality, although the nature of this association is still unclear. Thus, the authors intended in..
Lee masAbstract Introduction Adult and pediatric ECMO procedures have been increasingly established as conventional life-saving modalities in critical care services across the world. Since 2017, a multidisciplinary team of program advisors..
