Clinical and biomaterial evaluation of a new condensed dual-function extracorporeal circuit in reoperation for coronary artery bypass surgery
Gunaydin, Serdar; McCusker, Kevin; Vijay, Venkataramana (Sage Publications Ltd, 2009)Purpose: This prospective, randomized study compared the clinical performance of three types of circuits: a newly introduced, fully-coated, interchangeable open-closed circuit with a dual configuration (hard shell with a ... -
Clinical evaluation of minimized extracorporeal circulation in high-risk coronary revascularization: impact on air handling, inflammation, hemodilution and myocardial function
Gunaydin, Serdar; Sari, Tamer; McCusker, Kevin; Schonrock, Uwe; Zorlutuna, Yaman (Sage Publications Ltd, 2009)Objective: We examined intraoperative microembolic signals (GME), inflammatory response, hemolysis, perioperative regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)), myocardial protection and desorbed protein amount on oxygenator ... -
Clinical performance and biocompatibility of hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded extracorporeal circuits in different risk cohorts
Gunaydin, Serdar; McCusker, Kevin; Sari, Tamer; Onur, Mehmet Ali; Zorlutuna, Yaman (Oxford Univ Press, 2010)This prospective randomized study compares novel hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded circuits vs. uncoated controls across EuroSCORE patient risk strata including biomaterial evaluation. Over a two-year period, 90 patients ... -
Comparison of polymethoxyethylacrylate-coated circuits with leukocyte filtration and reduced heparinization protocol on heparin-bonded circuits in different risk cohorts
Gunaydin, Serdar; McCusker, Kevin; Vijay, Venkataramana; Isbir, Selim; Sari, Tamer; Onur, Mehmet Ali; Zorlutuna, Yaman (Sage Publications Ltd, 2006)Objectives: The relative benefits of strategic leukofiltration on polymer-coated and low-dose heparin protocol on heparin-coated circuits were studied across EuroSCORE patient risk strata for three different cohorts. ... -
Perioperative blood conservation strategies in pediatric patients undergoing open-heart surgery: impact of non-autologous blood transfusion and surface-coated extracorporeal circuits
Gunaydin, Serdar; McCusker, Kevin; Vijay, Venkatramana (Sage Publications Ltd, 2011)Background: The aim of this study was to explore the relative clinical and biomaterial effects of blood transfusions (Tx) and novel low-prime, surface-coated circuitry on perioperative outcome in a pediatric population ...
