Angiopoietin-2 adsorption attempt with the cytokine adsorber cytosorb in critically ill patients Open
Angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2) is a growth factor in angiogenesis, causing pericyte migration and vascular regression, leading to increased vascular permeability. Inflammatory mediators, hypoxia, hyperglycaemia and cancer stimulate its secretion. …

Challenges in the use of the CytoSorb® adsorber in an intensive care patient with liver dysfunction of unknown origin: a case report Open
Background The treatment of critically ill patients in intensive care units is becoming increasingly complex. For example, organ transplants are regularly carried out, the recipients are seriously ill, and the postoperative course can be c…

Lactate Clearance of the Adsorber Cytosorb® in Critically Ill Patients: A Post-Hoc Analysis of the Cyto-SOLVE Trial Open
Background/Objectives: Patients with shock suffer from hyperlactatemia, which can lead to endothelial dysfunction. The use of the adsorber Cytosorb® (CS) is recommended in these patients as it may contribute to higher lactate clearance and…

Angiopoietin II in Critically Ill Septic Patients: A Post Hoc Analysis of the DRAK Study Open
Introduction: Angiopoietin II (Ang-II) plays a pivotal role in the development of microcirculatory dysfunction as it provokes endothelial barrier disruption in patients with sepsis or septic shock. In particular, those with acute kidney in…

Tricuspid valve annuloplasty and mitral valve replacement are associated with bradyarrhythmia after mitral valve surgery Open
Introduction Mitral valve surgery has developed into a strong subspecialty of cardiac surgery with operative techniques and outcomes constantly improving. The development of bradyarrhythmias after mitral valve surgery is not completely und…

Atrioventricular Block after Tricuspid Valve Surgery Open
Tricuspid valve (TV) surgery is associated with a high risk of postoperative pacemaker requirement. We set out to identify the incidence of atrioventricular block (AVB) after TV surgery and determine whether atrioventricular conduction rec…
