During percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), the ability to maintain balloon inflations for 3 to 5 minutes, as opposed to the usual 30 to 60 seconds, may lead to improved early and late results. To determine the feasibility and clarify the advantages of distal hemoperfusion during PTCA, blood from the renal vein was manually sampled and then reinjected through the pressure port of the coronary balloon catheter during sustained balloon inflations in 3 patients. By supplying the periphery of the left anterior descending coronary artery with flows of 30 to 50 ml/min, ischemic manifestations were suppressed in all 3 cases. Hemoperfusion was performed without complications for as long as 5 minutes, using a maximum of 225 ml of blood. This new technique represents a major step toward the long-sought goal of extracorporeal coronary circulation during PTCA.

The application of modular multifunctional left heart bypass circuit system integrated with ultrafiltration in thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Front Cardiovasc Med

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.
Open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair is a complex and challenging operation with a high incidence of serious complications, and high perioperative mortality and morbidity. Left heart bypass (LHB) is a circulatory support system used to perfuse the distal aorta during TAAA operation, and the advantages of LHB include guaranteeing distal perfusion, reducing the use of heparin, and diminishing the risk of bleeding and postoperative neurological deficits. In China, the circuit for TAAA repair is deficient, and far from the perfusion requirements.

Microbubble-enhanced therapeutic ultrasound (MEUS) can block the blood flow in the organs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic effect of microbubble-enhanced pulsed, low-intensity ultrasound in a New Zealand White rabbit model of avulsion trauma of the liver. The therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) transducer was operated with the frequency of 1.

Background: This study investigated synovial concentrations of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and its metabolite salicylic acid (SA) in the equine fetlock joint following systemic administration of ASA. Salicylates were chosen because SA is the only nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for which threshold levels exist for plasma and urine in equine sports. To avoid animal experiments, the study was conducted using an ex vivo model of the isolated perfused equine distal limb in combination with plasma concentrations obtained from literature.

Patients diagnosed with primary or metastatic liver cancer face a daunting future that is complicated by limited treatment options. Percutaneous hepatic perfusion is a novel approach to chemotherapy delivery that offers significant benefits over contemporary modalities. Percutaneous hepatic perfusion is a procedure in which a chemotherapeutic agent is administered at high doses via the hepatic artery where it perfuses the liver, is extracted and filtered using a veno-veno bypass circuit, a fenestrated multi-lumen double-balloon catheter, and two biocompatible hemoperfusion filters.

Objective: To establish an ex vivo model of blood perfusion in the distal portion of isolated equine forelimbs that closely represents the in vivo situation in the laminar tissue of the hoof.
Sample Population: 18 forelimbs collected from 9 healthy adult horses following slaughter at a licensed abattoir.
Procedures: The distal portion of isolated equine forelimbs from 9 horses were perfused under physiologic conditions over a period of 6, 8, and 10 hours with autologous blood.
