Hypothermia for aortic surgery [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
Hypothermic circulatory arrest has been used during aortic arch repairs with acceptable neurologic outcomes. Through the years, we have studied the effects of deep hypothermia on brain metabolism and perfusion both in a pig model and in surgical patients. Hypothermic circulatory arrest has also been used as a method of organ protection in the repair of

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Intraoperative autotransfusion in aortic surgery [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Vascular Surgery, 1993
Intraoperative autotransfusion is frequently used in aortic surgery, despite the paucity of data regarding its safety and efficacy. This study was designed to compare whole blood autotransfusion with homologous transfusion for the replacement of blood lost during abdominal aortic procedures.Whole blood autotransfusion was evaluated in 200 patients ...
