This review traces the evolution and prospects of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Despite early skepticism due to technical difficulty, OPCAB offers major
This retrospective cohort study compares survival outcomes and surgical efficiency between minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MiMVS) via mini-thoracotomy and conventional sternotomy. Among 422
This article explores vasoplegic syndrome (VS), a serious complication following cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. It discusses inconsistent definitions, risk factors, and treatment strategies.
This non-inferiority study evaluates the Quantum Perfusion System (QPS) for continuous blood gas monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) against the standard blood gas analyzer
This study compared six Health Canada-approved cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits in 872 cardiac surgery patients to assess their effects on bleeding and coagulation. While
This randomized clinical study assessed how varying sweep gas flow rates affect respiratory alkalosis and cerebral oxygenation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in 84 open-heart
This study compares cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cross-clamping times in aortic valve replacement surgeries performed via ministernotomy using either sutureless PERCEVAL® or conventional bioprostheses.
This study investigates the impact of sex on systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and outcomes after cardiac surgery. Analyzing 1,005 patients, researchers found that
This study compares Buckberg (BS) and Del Nido (DNS) cardioplegia in isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) through a two-center randomized trial with 311 patients.
This study evaluates whether magnesium administration is necessary following cardioplegic arrest with del Nido cardioplegia (dNC) solution at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC).
This study focuses on developing and validating a checklist for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to enhance patient safety and reduce adverse events. Using the Delphi
This review examines microvascular dysfunction following cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass (CP/CPB), with a focus on diabetes and hypertension. It explores endothelial and vasomotor
