Abstract
The landmark 2016 Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Technologies International Society (MiECTiS) position paper promoted the creation of a common language between cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists and perfusionists which led to the development of a stable framework that paved the way for the advancement of minimal invasive perfusion and related technologies. The current expert consensus document offers an update in areas for which new evidence has emerged. In the light of published literature, modular minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) has been established as a safe and effective perfusion technique that increases biocompatibility and ultimately ensures perfusion safety in all adult cardiac surgical procedures, including re-operations, aortic arch and emergency surgery. Moreover, it was recognized that incorporation of MiECC strategies advances minimal invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) by combining reduced surgical trauma with minimal physiologic derangements. Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Technologies International Society considers MiECC as a physiologically-based multidisciplinary strategy for performing cardiac surgery that is associated with significant evidence-based clinical benefit that has accrued over the years. Widespread adoption of this technology is thus strongly advocated to obtain additional healthcare benefit while advancing patient care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individualized heparin and protamine management is increasingly used as a strategy to reduce coagulation activation and bleeding complications. While it is associated with increased heparin requirements during Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB), the impact on protamine administration remains controversial. We aim to investigate the effect of heparin level-guided monitoring on protamine dosing during cardiac surgery where low-anticoagulation protocols are implemented. METHODS This is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 132 patients undergoing elective full-spectrum cardiac surgery with Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation (MiECC) were recruited. All patients were managed by the same anaesthetic, surgical and perfusion team. Patients were randomly allocated in two groups; the individualized heparin-protamine titration (IHPT) group and the conventional heparinization and reversal group by using ACT (cACT) with a 0.75:1, protamine: heparin ratio. Titration was accomplished with the Hepcon HMS Plus (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) system. The primary outcome of the study was the total protamine dose used. Secondary outcomes comprised of the total heparin dose, the percentage of patients achieving target ACT, 24-h transfusion requirements, postoperative bleeding, duration of mechanical ventilation, major morbidity and length of hospital stay. Patients in each group were divided in two subgroups according to the target ACT; those operated for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a target ACT >300 s and the rest (non-CABG) patients operated with a target ACT >400 s, respectively. RESULTS Protamine requirements were significantly reduced when IHPT was implemented; CABG (118 ± 24 mg vs 163 ± 61 mg; p < 0.001) and non-CABG cases (151 ± 46 mg vs 197 ± 45 mg; p < 0.001). Moreover, heparin requirements were significantly higher in the non-CABG subgroup managed with IHPT (34,539 ± 7658 IU vs 29,893 ± 9037 IU; p = 0.02). In overall, no significant differences were detected with respect to postoperative bleeding, transfusion of RBC or other blood products. CONCLUSIONS Individualized heparin monitoring and management reduces protamine requirements in cardiac surgery with MiECC implementing reduced anticoagulation strategy.
