Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) can occur concomitantly and be associated with coagulopathy that influences TBI outcome. The use of bleeding time tests in TBI management is controversial. We hypothesized that in TBI patients with AUD, a prolonged bleeding time is associated with more severe injury and poor outcome. Moder...

Recent reports suggested that cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time is one of the risk factors for postoperative complications after Fontan conversion. Although Fontan conversion may be performed for the patients with hepatic fibrosis after initial Fontan procedure, there is no predictive indicator regarding the liver function associated with hemostasi...

BackgroundThe purse-string suture has been widely used for bleeding control after percutaneous interventions through arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and graft (AVG), and it requires suture removal the next day. This study aimed to introduce a simple method using a tourniquet to facilitate hemostasis following AVF or AVG sheath removal after percutaneou...

Herein we report nine cases of carotid endarterectomy in which we used a cold atmospheric helium plasma device (J-Plasma; Apyx Medical Corporation, Clearwater, Fla). Although clinical reports are limited, experimental data indicate that this technology could be used for dissection and coagulation during surgery, yielding limited adjacent tissue dam...

This study compared the efficacy of microwave ablation and silver nitrate cautery as treatments for idiopathic recurrent anterior epistaxis in adults. A case series with chart review was conducted. Adults with recurrent anterior epistaxis intra-operatively treated via microwave ablation or silver nitrate chemical cautery of the anterior nasal septu...

Purpose of reviewRadial artery access for catheter-based procedures has demonstrated improved margins of safety and patient comfort without a loss of efficacy compared with femoral access. Unfortunately, radial access is not always available, so a review of the alternatives such as the ulnar artery and distal radial artery has been completed to und...

Large vascular brain tumors pose an exceptional challenge in young children. Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is an example of a rare, often large and especially vascular neuroepithelial tumor that most commonly arises in children under 5 yr old. Although patients may be cured by total resection, this tumor poses significant surgical risks and challe...

Surgery of complex cranial base lesions carries a high risk of damage to main vessels, often resulting in life-changing or even life-threatening injuries. We describe a rapid, effective, and noninvasive application of a collagen-based hemostatic patch to repair the vertebral artery during cranial surgery. A 61-year-old male patient underwent retros...

The field of thrombosis and hemostasis is crucial for understanding and developing new therapies for pathologies such as deep vein thrombosis, diabetes related strokes, pulmonary embolisms, and hemorrhaging related diseases. In the last two decades, an exponential growth in studies related to fibrin clot formation using computational tools has been...
