Platelet function is Preserved After Moderate Cardiopulmonary Bypass Times But Transiently Impaired After Protamine.
A recent study led by Mattias Törnudd and colleagues has provided new insights into the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on platelet function in the context of contemporary cardiac surgery. This prospective, controlled clinical study was conducted at a single-center university hospital, including 39 patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery with CPB. The…

Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation: An Alternative to ECMO in Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation
The clinical benefits of mechanical assistance during ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation have yet to be well-established. This article discusses a new technique using minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) type III with a venous reservoir system, offering full cardiac flow support, blood oxygenation, and hemodynamic stability during extended procedures. The study retrospectively examines ten patients with…

Premortem Anticoagulation Timing and Dose in Donation After Circulatory Death Multicenter Study of Associations With Graft Function
This multicenter study led by Andreas H. Kramer and his colleagues delves into the critical practice of administering premortem heparin to potential organ donors in controlled donation after circulatory determination of death (DCD). Despite its widespread use, the practice remains controversial due to the potential risk of inducing bleeding and the lack of solid evidence…
