This pilot study assesses the safety and feasibility of using a CytoSorb filter during kidney normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) before transplantation. The goal is
This study compares Del Nido (DN) and Bretschneider histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) cardioplegia solutions in a porcine model of prolonged ischaemia. DN demonstrated superior left ventricular
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 study compares two cardioplegic solutions—HTK and Del Nido—for their impact on cerebral inflammation in a porcine cardiopulmonary bypass model. Results showed that while
This study presents the development of a novel optical CO₂ sensor for use in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) systems such as ECMO and ECCO₂R.
This retrospective study evaluates the safety and efficacy of innominate artery (IA) graft cannulation for selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) in aortic surgery. Analyzing
This study examines outcomes of donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart transplantation using thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP). A retrospective analysis of 32 recipients
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.
Perfusion education programs have grown significantly in the U.S. over the past 30 years, with increasing accreditation and student enrollment. This study explores the
This study investigates risk factors for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients receiving mechanical circulatory support (MCS). A retrospective analysis of 129 patients revealed
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).
