Evolving Technique for Puestow-Type Procedure for Chronic Pancreatitis: The Combined Roux-en-Y Proximal End-to-Side and Distal Longitudinal Pancreatojejunostomy Open
BACKGROUND The goal of surgical procedures in chronic pancreatitis is to establish drainage of the duct throughout the gland as well as resect any inflammatory masses if present. Conventionally, for patients with a dilated pancreatic duct …

Evaluation of an Anti-Thrombotic Continuous Lactate and Blood Pressure Monitoring Catheter in an In Vivo Piglet Model undergoing Open-Heart Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass Open
Blood lactate and blood pressure measurements are important predictors of life-threatening complications after infant open-heart surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We have developed an intravascular nitric oxide (NO)-releasi…
