TCT-538 Bleeding Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Combined TAVR/PCI: Time for an Adjustment to the CathPCI Bleeding Model?

Bleeding in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Bleeding time and bleeding: an analysis of the relationship of the bleeding time test with parameters of surgical bleeding.

The bleeding time is currently the only clinically available comprehensive test to explore primary hemostasis. It is currently performed mostly as a screening procedure before surgery, to detect otherwise unknown defects in platelet-vessel wall interactions, but its use in this specific setting has been seriously questioned by recent reanalyses of previously published literature. We studied the...

Comparison of the bleeding cricothyrotomy model to SimMan for training students and residents emergency cricothyrotomy

Introduction: A cricothyroidotomy is an emergency procedurethat few emergency medicine residents see or perform duringtheir training. Therefore, there is a need for low cost, high fidelitymodels for training. In this study, we explore a new training modelfor cricothyroidotomies (the bleeding CRIC [cost-effective realisticinteractive cricothyroidotomy]) to determine...

Effects of Tranexamic Acid on Bleeding and Hemoglobin Levels in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Letter to Editor

Reoperation for bleeding in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery: incidence, risk factors, time trends, and outcomes.

BACKGROUND Reoperation for bleeding represents an important complication in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Yet, few studies have characterized risk factors and patient outcomes of this event. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated 528 686 CABG patients at >800 hospitals in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Database (2004 to 2007). Clinical features and in...
