Abstract: BACKGROUND Sheep are a primary model of mechanical circulatory support (MAC) with heparin anticoagulation therapy frequently being monitored by activated clotting time (ACT) due to ease and cost. In patients undergoing long-term heparin therapy, other… read more here.

Abstract: Background Anticoagulation management of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) undergoing cardiac surgery is challenging due to the prolongation of activated clotting time (ACT). Currently, no study has compared the utility of ACT monitoring using the… read more here.
