Radiofrequency-assisted liver resection in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Radio-frequency-assisted liver resection has been shown to allow virtually bloodless procedures without the need for vascular exclusion manoeuvres. Our primary end-point was to evaluate safety and feasibility of RF-assisted liver ... Read more...

Tranexamic acid and aprotinin in primary cardiac operations: an analysis of 220 cardiac surgical patients treated with tranexamic acid or aprotinin.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Antifibrinolytics are widely used in cardiac surgery to reduce bleeding. Allogeneic blood transfusion, even in primary cardiac operations with low blood loss, is still high. In the present study we evaluated the impact of tranexamic ... Read more...

Tranexamic Acid reduces perioperative blood loss in adult patients having spinal fusion surgery.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Spinal reconstructive surgery in adults can be associated with significant blood loss, often requiring allogeneic blood transfusion. The objective of this randomized, prospective, double-blind, multicenter study was to evaluate the ... Read more...
