Feasibility study of an artificial placenta system consisting of a loop circuit configuration extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with a bridge circuit in the form of the umbilical arterial –venous connection
AbstractWe developed a new artificial placenta (AP) system consisting of a loop circuit configuration extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with a bridge circuit designed to be applied to the fetus in the form of an umbilical arterial –venous connection. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the AP system by performing a hydrodynamic simulation using a mechanical mock circulation system and fetal animal experiment. The effect of the working condition of the AP system on the fetal hemodynamics was evaluated by hydrodynamic sim ulation using a mechanical mock circulation system, assuming the weight of the fetus to b...

Trans-subclavian approach for Impella CP implantation using the chimney graft in a pediatric patient with fulminant myocarditis during extracorporeal support
AbstractImpella is a device effective for the treatment of cardiogenic shock. However, among small children, its application has limitations due to left ventricle size and vasculature and the turning diameter of the aortic arch. Herein, we report an 11-year-old girl with fulminant myocarditis who was successfully managed with Impella CP implantation via the right subclavian artery using a polyethylene terephthalate chimney graft. Compared with insertion via the femoral artery, this method has several advantages. That is, it can address limitations in aortic arch diameter and facilitate equable fixation of the Impella devic...

Impact of time off anticoagulation in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices
AbstractPatients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) receive anticoagulation to decrease the risk of thrombosis. Various circumstances require discontinuing anticoagulation in LVAD patients, but the risks entailed are not well defined. In a retrospective review of LVAD implantation procedures, we examined the effect of time off anticoagulation on thrombosis and mortality rates after implantation. An international normalized ratio ≤ 1.5 was used to screen for patients taken off anticoagulation. Patients were divided into three groups by the cumulative number of days off anticoagulation: no discontinuation, s...

Current status and future prospects of decellularized kidney tissue
AbstractEnd-stage renal disease (ESRD) is characterized by progressive loss of kidney function, which can result in damage to various tissues and organs. Dialysis therapy and kidney transplantation are currently the only therapeutic options available for patients with ESRD. In the case of kidney transplantation, organ shortage and high organ rejection have increased the need for novel treatment modalities. Therefore, organ regeneration employing decellularization technology has emerged as a viable alternative to conventional organ transplantation. In this technology, organs are decellularized using physical, chemical, or b...
