Cardiopulmonary bypass is known to trigger a global inflammatory response. Age-
dependent differences in the inflammatory response, the increased susceptibility to injury of …

The balance between systemic anticoagulation and clotting is challenging. In normal
hemostasis, the endothelium regulates the balance between anticoagulant and …

The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) devices has significantly increased in the last
decades. Despite medical and technological advancements, a main challenge in the ECLS …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Flow diverters with antithrombotic coatings are
increasingly used to improve the safety of flow diverter treatments of intracranial aneurysms …

A process of water sorption into a biocompatible polymer, poly (2-methoxyethyl
acrylate)(PMEA), was investigated by time-resolved, in situ, attenuated total reflection …

This ISTH “State of the Art” review aims to critically evaluate the hematologic considerations
and complications in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ECMO is …

Early implant failure and bone resorption may occur in load-bearing conditions as a result of
stress shielding brought on by a mismatch in the bone-Ti-implant modulus. A review with a …

Nonthrombogenic modifications of membranes for extracorporeal membrane oxygenators
(ECMOs) are of key interest. The absence of hemocompatibility of these membranes and the …

This systematic review and meta-analysis explores the clinical efficacy of biocompatible
surfaces for cardiopulmonary bypass in adults. Thirty-six randomized controlled trials were …

Density profiles of a perdeuterated poly (methyl methacrylate)(dPMMA) film spin-coated on a
substrate in water, hexane, and methanol, which are “nonsolvents” for dPMMA, were …
