Hemostatic alterations during coronary artery bypass grafting

Abstract

The origination of blood loss after cardiac surgery is not fully explained, but is related to operation trauma and use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, the extent of their contribution is incompletely known and might differ between distinct operation procedures. Three groups of CABG procedures were studied: 1) off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB, n=11) without CPB, 2) CABG with use of CPB (CABG, n=11) and 3) CABG with use of CPB combined with aortic valve replacement (AVR, n=11). Activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis was measured at various time points by flow cytometry, platelet aggregometry, thrombelastography, the Nijmegen Hemostasis Assay, prothrombin fragment 1+2 and tissue plasminogen activator. The use of CPB during cardiac surgery decreased platelet counts, clot strength, fibrinogen, hematocrit and albumin concentrations during the procedure. No perioperative platelet activation was observed and functional (collagen induced) platelet aggregation was transiently impaired, but recovered after surgery in all groups. Patients operated with use of CPB showed increased tissue plasminogen activator concentrations after reperfusion followed by minor and transient fibrinolysis. After all types of surgery...Continue Reading

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
