Assistance from a Mixing Zone Model to Perform Aortic Femoral Perfusion Strategy

Assistance from a Mixing Zone Model to Perform Aortic Femoral Perfusion Strategy with Severe Atherosclerotic and Artheromic Aortic Disease for Endoscopic Minimally Invasive Redo Mitral Valve Repair

This study explores a novel perfusion strategy for minimally invasive redo mitral valve surgery in patients with severe atherosclerotic and artheromic aortic disease. Using a combination of antegrade and retrograde perfusion, the study evaluates the mixing zone during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to optimize outcomes. A case study demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach, with no postoperative cerebral complications. Findings suggest that adjusting cannulation sizes can improve perfusion safety.

Pediatric Cardiac Patients with Pulmonary Hemorrhage Supported on ECMO: An ELSO Registry Study

Pediatric Cardiac Patients with Pulmonary Hemorrhage Supported on ECMO: An ELSO Registry Study

This study examines pediatric cardiac patients with pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) using data from the ELSO registry (2011–2020). Analyzing 161 cases, the study identifies high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) before ECMO cannulation as a key predictor of survival. The absence of hemorrhagic and renal complications also improved outcomes. Findings suggest that optimized pre-ECMO ventilation strategies may enhance survival rates in these high-risk patients.

Gradual Oxygen Exposure During Coronary Bypass for Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Gradual Oxygen Exposure During Coronary Bypass for Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This study examines the impact of gradual oxygen exposure during emergency coronary bypass surgery for acute myocardial infarction (MI). A retrospective cohort of 66 patients was analyzed, comparing outcomes between those receiving venous blood cardioplegia with controlled oxygen exposure and those undergoing standard hyperoxic procedures. The findings indicate a significant reduction in mortality, improved ventricular function, lower readmission rates for heart failure, and reduced need for defibrillators.
