  Weaning from neonatal and pediatric ECMO with stand-by cannula J Artif Org
  Abstract The precise moment for weaning a patient off extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is not always easy to establish. Also, mechanical causes may obligate to disconnect the patient from the circuit before the optimal weaning off. In these selected cases, the patient can be (...)

  Longest reported support (7.5 years) with postauricular type of Jarvik 2000 axial-flow left ventricular assist device J Artif Org
  Abstract Mechanical circulatory supports with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are nowadays an established treatment in end-stage heart failure for those patients who are waiting for an organ donation or are unsuitable for transplantation. The duration of LVAD support is variable, (...)

  Development of a hollow fibre-based renal module for active transport studies J Artif Org
  Abstract Understanding the active transport of substrates by the kidney in the renal proximal convoluted tubule is crucial for drug development and for studying kidney diseases. Currently, cell-based assays are applied for this this purpose, however, differences between assays and the body are (...)

  Assessment of ocular blood flow in continuous-flow ventricular assist device by laser speckle flowgraphy J Artif Org
  Abstract Although the influence of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) support on peripheral circulation has been widely discussed, its monitoring modalities are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the peripheral circulation using the laser speckle flowgraph (...)

  Influence of recombinant human-soluble thrombomodulin on extracorporeal circuit clotting in septic patients undergoing blood purification: a propensity-matched cohort study J Artif Org
  Abstract Blood purification has been widely performed for critically ill patients, even in cases without renal failure. Effective anticoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit is necessary to prevent circuit clotting. We hypothesized that administration of recombinant human-soluble (...)

  Cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) measured using the INVOS oximeter closely correlates with baseline rSO2 J Artif Org
  Abstract Baseline cerebral regional saturation (rSO2) measured using the INVOS 5100C (Medtronic, MN, USA) varies widely among patients with cardiac and/or renal diseases. To identify significant correlates of baseline rSO2 and to investigate intraoperative rSO2 changes, we conducted a (...)

  New regional drug delivery system by direct epicardial placement of slow-release prostacyclin agonist promise therapeutic angiogenesis in a porcine chronic myocardial infarction J Artif Org
  Abstract Although prostacyclin is an endogenous factor for the protection and regeneration of damaged tissue, the use of clinically available prostacyclin analogues for treating chronic pathological conditions is limited owing to their short half-lives. A new reagent, ONO-1301SR, which is a (...)

  Fulminant myocarditis parvovirus B19 related in a young woman J Artif Org
  Abstract We present the case of a 18-year-old female with fulminant lymphocytic myocarditis caused by Parvovirus B19 (PVB19), successfully treated using temporary LVAD. In the literature there is no consensus on the surgical strategy. While some surgeons prefer to use a single device (...)

  VE/VCO2 slope predicts RV dysfunction and mortality after left ventricular assist device: a fresh look at cardiopulmonary stress testing for prognostication J Artif Org
  Abstract Preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is well validated for prognostication before advanced surgical heart failure therapies, but its role in prognostication after LVAD surgery has never been studied. VE/VCO2 slope is an important component of CPET which has direct (...)

  Evaluation of femoral anteversion, hip rotation, and lateral patellar tilt after total hip arthroplasty using a changeable neck system J Artif Org
  Abstract In patients with secondary osteoarthritis due to acetabular dysplasia, femoral anteversion has many variations. A changeable neck system is one useful option to adjust the femoral anteversion. Retroverted necks can effectively adjust anatomical anteversion (AA), femoral rotational (...)

  Rescue extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for massive anterior mediastinal masses J Artif Org
  Abstract The management of massive anterior mediastinal masses (AMM) is challenging. With the burgeoning role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (ECMO) beyond the confines of salvage therapy, more trained clinicians are adopting it as a bridge for high-risk procedures or situations (...)

  Flow analysis during mock circulation in normal and aortic arch aneurysm models through an aortic cannula toward the aortic arch and root J Artif Org
  Abstract The aim of this study was to elucidate flow patterns of two different types of aortic cannulas inserted from the ascending aorta toward the aortic arch and root by mock circulation in a normal aortic arch and an aortic arch aneurysm model. Extracorporeal circulation was established (...)

  Evaluation of hemodynamics after mitral valve replacement with the St Jude Medical Epic bioprosthesis: a Japanese single-center experience J Artif Org
  Abstract To assess the early hemodynamics after mitral valve replacement (MVR) using the St Jude Medical (SJM) Epic bioprosthesis. MVR was performed using the SJM Epic bioprosthesis in 35 patients from June 2018 to April 2020; three patients were excluded because the postoperative (...)
