The article explores the safety and effectiveness of the MANTA vascular closure device for managing large-bore arteriotomy, particularly post-decannulation in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
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 case study reports on the successful intraoperative removal of apixaban using a CytoSorb hemoadsorption device during emergency heart transplantation. The 61-year-old patient, previously
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 evaluates the impact of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to lung transplantation (BTT) for patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
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 evaluates the effectiveness of different fixation methods for ECMO cannulas to prevent dislodgment. Using an in vitro porcine skin model, researchers compared
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
