Comparison of minimized circulation with off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting and conventional surgery
(Elsevier Inc., 2012)
The development of effective devices for target vessel exposure and stabilization and the subsequent widespread diffusion of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) as an alternative technique to conventional on-pump ...
Minimized cardiopulmonary bypass techniques and technologies
(Elsevier Inc., 2012)
Traditional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) techniques have suffered from a number of disadvantages including haemodilution, inflammation and post-operative bleeding. Minimised cardiopulmonary bypass techniques use developments ...
Clinical and biomaterial evaluation of a new condensed dual-function extracorporeal circuit in reoperation for coronary artery bypass surgery
(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 performance and biocompatibility of hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded extracorporeal circuits in different risk cohorts
(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 ...
Cardiopulmonary bypass technologies
(Woodhead Publ Ltd, 2010)
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has revolutionized our ability to operate on the heart, great vessels, and aorta in addition to providing means of short-term support for reversible causes of cardiac and/or respiratory failure. ...
Perioperative blood conservation strategies in pediatric patients undergoing open-heart surgery: impact of non-autologous blood transfusion and surface-coated extracorporeal circuits
(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 ...
Clinical Manifestations in Patients with Segmental Hypoplasia of Great Saphenous Vein
(Kuwait Medical Assoc, 2017)
Objectives: Segmental hypoplasia of the great saphenous vein (GSV) is a common condition which may cause chronic venous insufficiency. Despite the high incidence thereof, few studies have investigated GSV hypoplasia. We ...
