Contributing factors to heparin resistance during cardiopulmonary bypassJournal of Artificial Organs - - Trang 1-8 - 2024
Tomoaki Yamashiro, Yoshiyuki Takami, Yasushi Takagi
Since the risk factors for heparin resistance (HR) before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have not been fully clarified, this study investigated the contributing factors for HR after the initial unfractionated heparin (UFH) dose of 500 IU/kg. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 371 patients who underwent CPB surgery, with the initial UFH dose of 500 IU/kg, between May 2017 and December 2021. We d...... hiện toàn bộ

There are concerns about secondary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) catheter infections in bacteremic patients. We investigated the association between blood stream infection (BSI) and ECMO catheter colonization. From January 2012 to August 2014, 47 adults who received ECMO support were enrolled. The ECMO catheter tip was cultured at the end of the ECMO procedure. The enrolled patients ...... hiện toàn bộ
Development of sutureless vascular connecting system for easy implantation of small-caliber artificial graftsJournal of Artificial Organs - Tập 8 - Trang 119-124 - 2005

A novel sutureless vascular connecting system, an assembly with a delivery rod, an introducing sheath, and a connecting device, was developed for easy implantation of small-caliber vascular grafts less than 2 mm in internal diameter. A microporous stainless tube (length 2 mm, external diameter 1.6 mm, wall thickness 65 µm, pore diameter 400 µm, pore-to-pore distance 500 µm) was designed to serve a...... hiện toàn bộ

A 77-year-old woman who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR) with a 29 mm Hancock standard (H–S) bioprosthesis (Model 242) and tricuspid annuloplasty (Kay’s method) at the age of 44 years was admitted urgently with acute heart failure. Echocardiography showed severe transvalvular leakage of the prosthesis and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. The patient underwent reMVR with a 29 mm Carpen...... hiện toàn bộ
Early clinical outcomes of right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with small caliber bovine jugular vein conduit (Contegra®) in small childrenJournal of Artificial Organs - Tập 19 - Trang 364-371 - 2016

This study reviewed early clinical outcomes of right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with Contegra® valved conduits in pediatric patients. Between April 2013 and July 2014, thirteen pediatric patients underwent right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with Contegra valved conduits. The size of the implanted conduits were 12 mm in 5 patients, 14 mm in 3, 16 mm in 3, and then 2 patien...... hiện toàn bộ
