Abstract

OBJECTIVE: It is believed that off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) leads to hypercoagulability, but efforts to document such a state have been unrevealing. We hypothesized that OPCAB increases the risk of developing a regional hypercoagulable state. METHODS: Blood was obtained from the aorta and coronary sinus (CS) after CABG performed off- (N=69) or on-pump (N=35) to determine the transcardiac gradients of F1.2 (thrombin production), XIIa (coagulation activation), myoglobin (ischemia) and IL-6, IL-8 using ELISA and platelet-derived microparticles using FACS. Platelet function was measured using aggregometry. Regional myocardial pH and SVG flow were recorded intraoperatively. SVG biopsies were analyzed for endothelial integrity (EI) using immunohistochemistry and graft patency was determined by predischarge CT angiography. RESULTS: Compared with on-pump, OPCAB provoked significantly higher transcardiac F1.2 (117±200 v. 31±38%), FXII-a (14±29 v. 2±4%), microparticles (14±-9.5% v. 6.4±-4.1%), IL-6 (119±183 v. 28±39%), and a trend toward increased IL-8 (67±94 v. 24±46%, P = 0.077). Myoglobin release after OPCAB, also greater than on-pump CABG (54±89 v. 8±14%, P < 0.01), correlated with regional pH change (R=-0.96, P <...Continue Reading

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.
