INTRODUCTION: Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) has emerged as a powerful method of
ameliorating ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury to the myocardium. This review investigates …

Vascular trauma is often part of the injury complex in patients with exsanguinating
hemorrhage who undergo damage control surgery. Vascular injuries in these patients may …

Restoration of blood flow to an acutely ischemic lower limb may paradoxically result in
systemic complications and unexpected mortality. It has been suggested that lower limb …

Objective: Reperfusion injury can be seen after acute arterial occlusion, acute myocardial
infarctus and during open heart surgery and vascular surgery. Protective effects of ascorbic …

BACKGROUND: Acute ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) results in muscle atrophy and
functional loss. Although studies have shown that stem cells can improve muscle function in …

Background Ischaemia-reperfusion injury is still a major problem after lung transplantation.
Several reports describe the benefits of controlled graft reperfusion. In this study the role of …

A 62-year-old patient was admitted with a 24-hour history of ischemia in both legs caused by
acute distal aortic occlusion and had had a total loss of sensitivity and motor function for 8 …

OBJECTIVE: Tourniquet use for extremity hemorrhage control is common in military trauma.
Tourniquet use may be accompanied by systemic hypotension, but this phenomenon has …

Revascularization of an ischemic lower extremity is associated with high morbidity (20–30%)
and perioperative mortality (10–20%) regardless of the mode of intervention, surgical or …

Severe local and systemic complications may occur after revascularization of extremities
exposed to prolonged complete or incomplete ischaemia. These complications may be …
