  2. Cardiopulmonary bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_bypass

    Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or heart-lung machine, also called the pump or CPB pump, is a machine that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgery by maintaining the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout the body. [1] As such it is an extracorporeal device. CPB is operated by a perfusionist. The ...

  3. Postperfusion syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postperfusion_syndrome

    Postperfusion syndrome, also known as "pumphead", is a constellation of neurocognitive impairments attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery. Symptoms of postperfusion syndrome are subtle and include defects associated with attention, concentration, short-term memory, fine motor function, and speed of mental and motor ...

  4. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

    Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.

  5. Cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_surgery

    Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is a surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons.It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, [1] and ...

  6. Retrograde autologous priming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrograde_autologous_priming

    Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a medical technique to oxygenate the blood and remove the carbon dioxide during the cardiac operation. [4] It can be seen as a “pump” to serve as a heart-lung machine whose function is sustaining blood circulatory and transporting oxygen to red blood cells before blood is flowing backwards the arterial ...

  7. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

    A phase 1 clinical trial is underway (as of August 2009), consisting of patients with coronary artery bypass grafting and patients in end-stage heart failure who have a left ventricular assist device. The trial involves testing a patch called Anginera which contains cells that secrete hormone-like growth factors stimulating other cells to grow.

  8. Impella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impella

    Impella was approved for mechanical circulatory support in 2008, but large-scale, real-world data on its use are lacking. In June 2008, the Impella 2.5 heart pump received FDA 510(k) clearance [22] for partial circulatory support for periods of up to six hours during cardiac procedures not requiring cardiopulmonary bypass.

  9. Vessel harvesting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_harvesting

    The success of a coronary artery bypass graft may be influenced by the quality of the conduit and how it is handled or treated during the vessel harvest and preparation steps prior to grafting. Success can be measured in terms of: The need for repeat revascularization to treat a new blockage; Morbidity; Mortality (minimal)
