Activated Coagulation Time and Hepcon Protamine Titration Device to Manage Unfractionated Heparin During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in a Hemophilia A Patient on Emicizumab.
(Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia, 2021-11)In the perioperative management of patients with hemophilia A, emicizumab prevents the accurate measurement of common clotting assays, including the activated clotting time (ACT), which is essential for high-dose heparin ... -
Aprotinin improves functional outcome but not cerebral infarct size in an experimental model of stroke during cardiopulmonary bypass.
(Anesthesia and analgesia, 2010-07)<h4>Background</h4>Aprotinin, a nonspecific serine protease inhibitor, has been used to decrease bleeding and reduce the systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Studies have variably linked aprotinin ... -
Discordance in Grading Methods of Aortic Stenosis by Pre-Cardiopulmonary Bypass Transesophageal Echocardiography.
(Anesth Analg, 2016-04)BACKGROUND: Current guidelines define severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) as an aortic valve area (AVA) ≤1.0 cm by the continuity equation and mean gradient (ΔPm) ≥ 40 mm Hg. However, these measurements can be discordant when ... -

Minimally Invasive Pulmonary Fibroelastoma Resection.
(Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2019-11-19)Pulmonary fibroelastomas are a rare primary cardiac tumor with less than 50 cases reported in the literature to date. We performed a minimally invasive valve-sparing tumor resection through a left anterior mini-incision ... -
Modulation of Heparin Therapy by RNA Aptamers and Andexanet Alfa
(2021)Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is the primary anticoagulant for highly procoagulant indications including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and more recently, severe COVID-19. UFH, however, is unable to fully inhibit thrombin generation ... -
Prevalence and repair of intraoperatively diagnosed patent foramen ovale and association with perioperative outcomes and long-term survival.
(JAMA, 2009-07)<h4>Context</h4>A recent survey suggested that cardiothoracic surgeons may alter planned procedures to repair incidentally discovered patent foramen ovale (PFO). How frequently this occurs and the impact on outcomes remain ... -
Robotic Mitral Valve Repair in Older Individuals: An Analysis of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database.
(The Annals of thoracic surgery, 2018-11)<h4>Background</h4>National outcomes of robotic mitral valve repair (rMVr) compared with sternotomy (sMVr) in older patients are currently unknown.<h4>Methods</h4>From 2011 to 2014, all patients aged 65 years and older undergoing ... -
The effect of blood pressure on cerebral outcome in a rat model of cerebral air embolism during cardiopulmonary bypass.
(The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2011-08)<h4>Objective</h4>Higher mean arterial pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass may improve cerebral outcome associated with cerebral air embolism by increasing emboli clearance and collateral flow to salvage the ischemic ...
