Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 564-571, April 2026.In this prospective study, a total of 60 patients were divided into three groups of 20 to compare the pressure drop (Δp) across three different oxygenators during cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this comparison was to enable evidence‐based optimization of the heart‐lung machine setup in order to minimize potential influencing factors and thereby ...

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Living beings are persistently challenged by stress. Stress can be induced by internal stressors and external stressors. External stressors, including radiation, heat, heavy metals, nutritional imbalances, infections, and psychological stress, can induce protein denaturation, leading to misfolded or aggregated proteins.

Cardioplegia Application with A Hand-Squeezed Cardioplegia Bag. Is It Safe?
The Heart Surgery Forum, 2021 Objectives: Cardioplegia solutions have a role not only in arresting the heart but also in protecting the myocardium from ischemia. While antegrade cardioplegia is given by the heart-lung machine in many centers, it is given by a hand-squeezed bag in very few centers.

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a deadly mechanical complication that, in approximately 2%–6% of patients, arises following acute myocardial infarction (MI). It could occur in different situations, ranging from several minutes to over one month following MI, usually among patients with risk factors.

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Residual implantable cardiac electronic device (ICED) leads pose a significant infection risk, necessitating a multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic approach. This case highlights the critical role of PET/CT imaging in guiding surgical decision‐making, particularly in cases of chronic infections with embedded or fractured lead fragments. While

Cardiovascular Therapeutics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Aim The aim of this study is to share our experience of the combined double‐orifice and single‐patch technique for the correction of partial atrioventricular septal defect (pAVSD) and its associated tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD). Methods Between January 2014 and May 2024, 99 patients (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent repair of pAVSD and its associated ...

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1979 The technique of myocardial protection by means of a cardioplegic solution consisting of cold blood (10 degrees C) with potassium (30 mEq. per liter) is described. A disposable cooling coil is used and a separate pump head for coronary perfusion is avoided.

Case Reports in Anesthesiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Double‐chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by hypertrophied muscular bundles dividing the right ventricle into high‐ and low‐pressure chambers. It is frequently associated with congenital heart disease, particularly tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), but rarely presents in late adulthood.
