Abraham AS, Wakefield BJ. Pro: Hemostasis Management of Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Is Different Than Cardiopulmonary Bypass. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024:S1053-0770(24)00437-3. [PMID: 39068101 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2024.06.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have many similarities, but there are significant differences in managing hemostasis. Cardiopulmonary bypass includes shorter mechanical circulatory support times, blood stasis, higher flows, and an increased blood-air interface. These factors cause differences in the risk of coagulopathy, management of anticoagulation, monitoring of the hemostatic system, and management of coagulopathy. This article aims to identify these key differences in the hemostatic system between patients on cardiopulmonary bypass and those on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Protracted fibrinolysis resistance following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: A prospective observational study of clinical associations and patient outcomes. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2024; 68:772-780. [PMID: 38497568 DOI: 10.1111/aas.14409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) elicits a pleiomorphic systemic host response which, when severe, requires prolonged intensive care support. Given the substantial cross-talk between inflammation, coagulation, and fibrinolysis, the aim of this hypothesis-generating observational study was to document the kinetics of fibrinolysis recovery post-CPB using ClotPro® point-of-care viscoelastometry. Tissue plasminogen activator-induced clot lysis time (TPA LT, s) was correlated with surgical risk, disease severity, organ dysfunction and intensive care length of stay (ICU LOS). RESULTS In 52 patients following CPB, TPA LT measured on the first post-operative day (D1) correlated with surgical risk (EuroScore II, Spearman's rho .39, p < .01), time on CPB (rho = .35, p = .04), disease severity (APACHE II, rho = .52, p < .001) and organ dysfunction (SOFA, rho = .51, p < .001) scores, duration of invasive ventilation (rho = .46, p < .01), and renal function (eGFR, rho = -.65, p < .001). In a generalized linear regression model containing TPA LT, CPB run time and markers of organ function, only TPA LT was independently associated with the ICU LOS (odds ratio 1.03 [95% CI 1.01-1.05], p = .01). In a latent variables analysis, the association between TPA LT and the ICU LOS was not mediated by renal function and thus, by inference, variation in the clearance of intraoperative tranexamic acid. CONCLUSIONS This observational hypothesis-generating study in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass demonstrated an association between the severity of fibrinolysis resistance, measured on the first post-operative day, and the need for extended postoperative ICU level support. Further examination of the role of persistent fibrinolysis resistance on the clinical outcomes in this patient cohort is warranted through large-scale, well-designed clinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) ensures tissue oxygenation during cardiac surgery. New technology allows continuous registration of CPB variables during the operation. The aim of the present investigation was to study the association between CPB management and the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS This observational study based on prospectively registered data included 2661 coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve patients operated during 2016-2020. Individual patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes collected from the SWEDEHEART registry were merged with CPB variables automatically registered every 20 s during CPB. Associations between CPB variables and AKI were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for patient characteristics. RESULTS In total, 387 patients (14.5%) developed postoperative AKI. After adjustments, longer time on CPB and aortic cross-clamp, periods of compromised blood flow during aortic cross-clamp time, and lower nadir hematocrit were associated with the risk of AKI, while mean blood flow, bladder temperature, central venous pressure, and mixed venous oxygen saturation were not. Patient characteristics independently associated with AKI were advanced age, higher body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 or >90 mL/min/m2 , and preoperative hemoglobin concentration below or above the normal sex-specific range. CONCLUSIONS To reduce the risk of AKI after cardiac surgery, aortic clamp time and CPB time should be kept short, and low hematocrit and periods of compromised blood flow during aortic cross-clamp time should be avoided if possible.

Low-Volume Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution Does Not Reduce Allogeneic Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery in the Modern Era of Patient Blood Management: A Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024; 38:394-402. [PMID: 38052691 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients undergoing cardiac surgery often require blood transfusions, which are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Patient blood management (PBM) strategies, including acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), have been implemented to minimize allogeneic transfusion requirements. Older studies suggested that ANH is associated with reduced transfusions; however, its effectiveness in the modern era of PBM remains unclear. DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTING The study was held at a single university hospital. PARTICIPANTS 542 patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using low-priming-volume circuits between January 2017 and March 2022. INTERVENTIONS Patients who received ANH were matched with those who did not receive ANH, using propensity scores. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who received perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. Of the 542 eligible patients, 49 ANH cases were propensity-score matched to 97 controls. The median ANH volume was 450 mL (IQR, 400-800 mL). There was no significant difference in perioperative RBC transfusion rates between the 2 groups (24.5% in the ANH group vs 30.9% in the control group, p = 0.42). The odds ratio for perioperative RBC transfusion in the ANH group versus the control group was 0.72 (95% CI, 0.32-1.55, p = 0.42). CONCLUSIONS Low-volume ANH was not associated with a significant reduction in perioperative allogeneic RBC transfusion during cardiac surgery with CPB using low-priming-volume circuits. The benefits of low-volume ANH in reducing the requirement for RBC transfusion in the modern era of PBM may be smaller than reported previously.

Abstract
Background There is limited literature guiding the prescribing of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) early after cardiac surgery as this population has been excluded from landmark randomized controlled trials. This study aims to determine the rate of in-hospital DOAC use compared with warfarin early after cardiac surgery, evaluate factors associated with DOAC use, determine difference in postoperative length of stay, and characterize bleeding events. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted in adult patients with indications for anticoagulation and receiving either a DOAC or warfarin after cardiac surgery during their index hospitalization. Patients were excluded if they had any contraindications to DOAC use. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients discharged on a DOAC compared with warfarin. Results Of included 210 patients, 30% received DOACs and 70% received warfarin on discharge. The most common DOAC used was apixaban (74.6%), and median postoperative day of initiation was 5 days. Patients receiving DOACs were older (70.8 vs 68.0 years), had less valvular heart disease (38.1% vs 63.9%), were more likely to be on DOACs preoperatively (50.8% vs 31.3%), and were more likely to have undergone coronary artery bypass graft alone (54.0% vs 24.5%) compared with those on warfarin. Postoperative length of stay (7 vs 9 days; P = 0.59) and in-hospital bleeding (1.6% vs 2.0%; P = 1.00) did not differ between DOAC and warfarin groups. Conclusions At a quaternary referral centre for cardiac surgery, DOACs were used in approximately one-third of patients with an indication for anticoagulation early after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous models for predicting delirium after cardiac surgery remained inadequate. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based prediction model for postoperative delirium (POD) in cardiac valve surgery patients. METHODS The electronic medical information of the cardiac surgical intensive care unit (CSICU) was extracted from a tertiary and major referral hospital in southern China over 1 year, from June 2019 to June 2020. A total of 507 patients admitted to the CSICU after cardiac valve surgery were included in this study. Seven classical machine learning algorithms (Random Forest Classifier, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine Classifier, K-nearest Neighbors Classifier, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, and Perceptron.) were used to develop delirium prediction models under full (q = 31) and selected (q = 19) feature sets, respectively. RESULT The Random Forest classifier performs exceptionally well in both feature datasets, with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.92 for the full feature dataset and an AUC of 0.86 for the selected feature dataset. Additionally, it achieves a relatively lower Expected Calibration Error (ECE) and the highest Average Precision (AP), with an AP of 0.80 for the full feature dataset and an AP of 0.73 for the selected feature dataset. To further evaluate the best-performing Random Forest classifier, SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) was used, and the importance matrix plot, scatter plots, and summary plots were generated. CONCLUSIONS We established machine learning-based prediction models to predict POD in patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery. The random forest model has the best predictive performance in prediction and can help improve the prognosis of patients with POD.

Abstract
Pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases (CHD) often undergo surgical repair on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Despite a significant medical and surgical improvement, the mortality of neonates and infants remains high. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous molecules released from injured/damaged tissues as danger signals. We examined 101 pediatric patients who underwent congenital cardiac surgery on CPB. The mortality rate was 4.0%, and the complication rate was 31.6%. We found that neonates/infants experienced multiple complications most, consistent with the previous knowledge. Neonates and infants in the complication group had received more transfusion intraoperatively than the non-complication arm with lower maximum amplitude (MA) on rewarming CPB thromboelastography (TEG). Despite TEG profiles were comparable at ICU admission between the two groups, the complication arm had higher postoperative chest tube output, requiring more blood transfusion. The complication group showed greater neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation at the end of CPB and postoperatively. Plasma histones and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) levels were significantly higher in the complication arm. Both induced NETs in vitro and in vivo . As histones and HMGB1 target Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4, their mRNA expression in neutrophils was upregulated in the complication arm. Taken together, NETs play a major role in postoperative complication in pediatric cardiac surgery and would be considered a target for intervention. Key points Neonates and infants showed highest postoperative complications with more upregulation of inflammatory transcriptomes of neutrophils.Neonates and infants with organ dysfunction had more NETs formation with higher plasma histones and HMGB1 levels.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heparin is the primary anticoagulant for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) support during cardiac surgery. While widely used, ∼2% of cardiac surgery patients develop heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and 4-26% develop heparin resistance. Bivalirudin is an alternative anticoagulant mainly used for percutaneous coronary interventions. Given the challenges associated with heparin anticoagulation, we conducted a review to explore the use of bivalirudin for CPB surgery. METHODS PubMed and Embase scoping review included 2 randomized controlled trials, a retrospective comparison study, 3 pilot studies, and 30 case reports. To provide a contemporary series, we searched for articles published from 2010 to 2023. Our review included studies from both adult and pediatric populations. RESULTS While data is limited, bivalirudin seems to supply similar effectiveness and safety as heparin for CPB anticoagulation. Across the three comparative studies, the heparin cohorts had a 0-9% mortality rate and 0-27% rate of major bleeding/reoperation compared to a 0-3% mortality and 0-6% major bleeding/reoperation rate for the bivalirudin cohorts. Bivalirudin was successfully used as an anticoagulant in a wide range of CPB surgeries (e.g., heart transplants, ventricular assisted device placements, and valve repairs). Successful patient outcomes were reported with bivalirudin infusion of ∼2 mg/kg/hour, activated clotting time monitoring (target >400 s or 2.5× baseline), use of cardiotomy suctions, minimization of stagnant blood, and post-bypass modified ultrafiltration. CONCLUSION Bivalirudin is a safe and effective anticoagulant for CPB, especially for patients with HIT or heparin resistance. Further comparative research is called for to optimize bivalirudin utilization for CPB during cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Patients undergoing coronary revascularization with extracorporeal circulation or cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may develop several biochemical changes in the microcirculation that lead to a systemic inflammatory response. Surgical incision, post-CPB reperfusion injury and blood contact with non-endothelial membranes can activate inflammatory signaling pathways that lead to the production and activation of inflammatory cells, with cytokine production and oxidative stress. This inflammatory storm can cause damage to vital organs, especially the heart, and thus lead to complications in the postoperative period. In addition to the organic pathophysiology during and after the period of exposure to extracorporeal circulation, this review addresses new perspectives for intraoperative treatment and management that may lead to a reduction in this inflammatory storm and thereby improve the prognosis and possibly reduce the mortality of these patients.

A Rat Model of Clinically Relevant Extracorporeal Circulation Develops Early Organ Dysfunctions. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24087338. [PMID: 37108501 PMCID: PMC10139167 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24087338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In clinical practice, extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is associated with coagulopathy and inflammation, eventually leading to organ injuries without preventive systemic pharmacological treatment. Relevant models are needed to reproduce the pathophysiology observed in humans and preclinical tests. Rodent models are less expensive than large models but require adaptations and validated comparisons to clinics. This study aimed to develop a rat ECC model and to establish its clinical relevance. One hour of veno-arterial ECC or a sham procedure were achieved on mechanically ventilated rats after cannulations with a mean arterial pressure objective > 60 mmHg. Five hours post-surgery, the rats' behavior, plasmatic/blood biomarkers, and hemodynamics were measured. Blood biomarkers and transcriptomic changes were compared in 41 patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Five hours post-ECC, the rats presented hypotension, hyperlactatemia, and behavioral alterations. The same patterns of marker measurements (Lactate dehydrogenase, Creatinine kinase, ASAT, ALAT, and Troponin T) were observed in both rats and human patients. Transcriptome analyses showed similarity in both humans and rats in the biological processes involved in the ECC response. This new ECC rat model seems to resemble both ECC clinical procedures and the associated pathophysiology, but with early organ injury corresponding to a severe phenotype. Although the mechanisms at stake in the post-ECC pathophysiology of rats or humans need to be described, this new rat model appears to be a relevant and costless preclinical model of human ECC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are major complications in cardiac surgery. Intraoperative management of patients at high risk of RV failure should aim to reduce RV afterload and optimize RV filling pressures, while avoiding systemic hypotension, to facilitate weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Inhaled epoprostenol and inhaled milrinone (iE&iM) administered in combination before CPB may represent an effective strategy to facilitate separation from CPB and reduce requirements for intravenous inotropes during cardiac surgery. Our primary objective was to report the rate of positive pulmonary vasodilator response to iE&iM and, second, how it relates to perioperative outcomes in cardiac surgery. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with PH or RV dysfunction undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery at the Montreal Heart Institute from July 2013 to December 2018 (n = 128). iE&iM treatment was administered using an ultrasonic mesh nebulizer before the initiation of CPB. Demographic and baseline clinical data, as well as hemodynamic, intraoperative, and echocardiographic data, were collected using electronic records. An increase of 20% in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) to mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) ratio was used to indicate a positive response to iE&iM. RESULTS In this cohort, 77.3% of patients were responders to iE&iM treatment. Baseline systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) (odds ratio [OR], 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-2.16 per 5 mm Hg; P = .0006) was found to be a predictor of pulmonary vasodilator response, while a European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE II) score >6.5% was a predictor of nonresponse to treatment (≤6.5% vs >6.5% [reference]: OR, 5.19; 95% CI, 1.84-14.66; P = .002). Severity of PH was associated with a positive response to treatment, where a higher proportion of responders had MPAP values >30 mm Hg (42.4% responders vs 24.1% nonresponders; P = .0237) and SPAP values >55 mm Hg (17.2% vs 3.4%; P = .0037). Easier separation from CPB was also associated with response to iE&iM treatment (69.7% vs 58.6%; P = .0181). A higher proportion of nonresponders had a very difficult separation from CPB and required intravenous inotropic drug support compared to responders, for whom easy separation from CPB was more frequent. Use of intravenous inotropes after CPB was lower in responders to treatment (8.1% vs 27.6%; P = .0052). CONCLUSIONS A positive pulmonary vasodilator response to treatment with a combination of iE&iM before initiation of CPB was observed in 77% of patients. Higher baseline SPAP was an independent predictor of pulmonary vasodilator response, while EuroSCORE II >6.5% was a predictor of nonresponse to treatment.

Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of mild and moderate hemodilution during CPB on the neurocognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Design: A randomized clinical study. Setting: Cardiac center. Patients: 186 patients scheduled for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Intervention: The patients were classified into 2 groups (each = 93), Mild hemodilution group: The hematocrit value was maintained >25% by transfusion of packed-red blood cells plus hemofiltration during CPB. Moderate hemodilution group: the hematocrit value was maintained within the range of 21-25%. Measurements: The monitors included the hemofiltrated volume, number of transfused packed red blood cells, and the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Main Results: The hemofiltrated volume during CPB was too much higher with mild hemodilution compared to the moderate hemodilution (p = 0.001). The number of the transfused packed red blood cells during CPB was higher with mild hemodilution compared to the moderate hemodilution (p = 0.001), but after CPB, the number of the transfused packed red blood cells was lower with the mild hemodilution group than the moderate hemodilution (p = 0.001). The incidence of total postoperative neurological complications was significantly lower with the mild hemodilution group than moderate hemodilution (p = 0.033). The incidence of neurocognitive dysfunction was significantly lower with mild hemodilution group than moderate hemodilution (p = 0.042). Conclusions: The mild hemodilution was associated with a significant decrease in the incidence of neurocognitive dysfunction compared to moderate hemodilution in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Also, the transfused packed red blood cells increased during CPB and decreased after CPB with the mild hemodilution than moderate hemodilution.

Abstract
Background: Fibrinogen is a substrate for blood clots formation. In cardiac surgery, a number of different mechanisms lead to a decrease in fibrinogen levels and consequent impaired haemostasis. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are therefore frequently exposed to blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion, which are risk factors associated with morbidity and mortality. Thus, particular efforts in fibrinogen management should be made to decrease bleeding and the need for blood transfusion. Therefore, fibrinogen remains an active focus of investigations from basic science to clinical practice. This review aims to summarise the latest evidence regarding the role of fibrinogen and current practices in fibrinogen management in adult cardiac surgery. Methods: The PubMed database was systematically searched for literature investigating the role and disorders of fibrinogen in cardiac surgery and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related to fibrinogen deficiency aimed at reducing blood loss and transfusion requirements. Clinical trials and reviews from the last 10 years were included. Results: In total, 146 articles were analysed. Conclusion: The early diagnosis and treatment of fibrinogen deficiency is crucial in maintaining haemostasis in bleeding patients. Further studies are needed to better understand the association between fibrinogen levels, bleeding, and fibrinogen supplementation and their impacts on patient outcomes in different clinical settings.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between red blood cell transfusion and clinical outcome in patients after cardiac surgery. Methods: Demographic, clinical characteristics, treatment with/without transfusion, and outcomes of patients after cardiac surgery from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care—III database were collected. Patients were divided into two groups according to perioperative transfusion. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was utilized to adjust for the effect of red blood cell transfusion on outcomes for baseline and covariates and to determine its association with outcomes. Results: In total, 6,752 patients who underwent cardiac surgery were enrolled for the analysis. Among them, 2,760 (40.9%) patients received a perioperative transfusion. Compared with patients without red blood cell transfusion, transfused patients demonstrated worse outcomes in inhospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and all-cause mortality. Adjusting odds ratios (ORs) for the significant characteristic, patients with perioperative transfusion remained significantly associated with an increased risk of inhospital mortality [OR = 2.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.5–5.1, P = 0.001], 1-year mortality (OR = 2.0, 95% CI 1.4–2.7, P < 0.001), and long-term mortality (OR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.8–2.8, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Perioperative red blood cell transfusion is associated with a worse prognosis of cardiac surgery patients. Optimal perioperative management and restricted transfusion strategy might be considered in selected patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) requires changes in cannulation strategy and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) management when compared to the conventional approach (CAVR). We aimed at evaluating if these differences could influence perfusion-related quality parameters and impair postoperative outcomes. METHODS Overall, 339 consecutive patients underwent MIAVR or CAVR between 2014 and 2020 and were analyzed retrospectively. To account for baseline differences, a propensity-matching analysis was performed, obtaining two groups of 97 patients each. RESULTS MIAVR group had longer CPB time [107 (95-120) vs 95 (86-105) min, p = .003] than CAVR group. Of note, average pump flow rate index [2.4 (2.2-2.5) vs 2.7 (2.4-2.8) l/min/m2, p = .004] was lower in the MIAVR group. Mean arterial pressure was 73 = 9 mmHg vs 62 = 11 mmHg for the MIAVR and CAVR group, respectively (p < .001). Cell-salvaged blood was most commonly used in the MIAVR group (25.8% vs 11.3%, p = .02). Finally, CPB temperature was 32.8°C (32.1-34.8) for MIAVR group vs 34.9°C (33.2-36.1) for the CAVR group (p = .02). Postoperative complications were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, despite differences in CPB parameters in patients undergoing CAVR and MIAVR, the incidences of adverse outcomes were similar. However, compared to CAVR, MIAVR was associated with shorter durations of mechanical ventilation and hospital stay as well as less transfusion of blood products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac erosion after percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is a rare complication that requires immediate life-saving emergency surgery. In this report, we present our successful life-saving strategy for cardiac arrest due to cardiac tamponade caused by erosion 6 years after the percutaneous closure of an ASD. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 50-year-old man who received treatment using an Amplatzer septal occluder (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) treatment for ostium secundum atrial septal defect (size: 29.5 × 27.0 mm) at another institution when he was 44 years old. CONCLUSIONS This case report presents a bailout surgical strategy for patients who are hemodynamically unstable with risks of coagulopathy and multiple organ failure. This case shows that cardiac surgeons need to be aware of percutaneous ASD-closure complications and should consider a bailout surgical strategy for patients at risk of multiple organ failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the safety and efficacy of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) initiated early after cardiac surgery. DATA SOURCES: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and MEDLINE (database inception to January 20, 2021), www.clinicaltrials.gov, www.who.int/ictrp/search/en/, NOAC trial registries, and bibliographies of relevant guidelines and other reviews were used. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that initiated NOACs within the index hospitalization and that reported bleeding for the primary outcome were included. DATA SYNTHESIS A total of 6 cohort studies, 1 RCT, and 3 ongoing RCTs were included. Most studies were single-centered, limited to postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting, and with 30-day follow-up; few studies included patients with isolated bioprosthetic valve replacement or valve repair. Bleeding risk varied (0%-28.6%), and all but one study showed no significantly higher risk with NOAC compared with warfarin. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE Overall, NOACs were used in 26% to 37.5% of patients early after cardiac surgery. Starting a NOAC on postoperative day 4 appeared to have similar bleeding rates compared with warfarin, but clinical application is limited by heterogeneity of outcome definitions, confounding, and bias. Compared with warfarin, NOACs may have similar thromboembolism risk, reduced length of stay, and cost. CONCLUSIONS There is limited evidence to guide NOAC use early after cardiac surgery. Three ongoing randomized trials will add to the literature and provide guidance for clinicians on whether, in whom, when, and how to use NOACs safely early after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effect of anesthesia maintenance with volatile agents compared with propofol on both short- and long-term mortality (primary outcomes) and major clinical events in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Methods
Randomized clinical trials on the effects of current volatile anesthetics versus propofol in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were searched (1965 to September 30, 2019) in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and article reference lists. A random effect model on standardized mean difference for continuous outcomes and odds ratio for dichotomous outcomes were used to meta-analyze data.
Results
In total, 37 full-text articles (42 studies, 8,197 participants) were included. The class of volatile anesthetics compared with propofol was associated with lower 1-yr mortality (5.5 vs. 6.8%; odds ratio, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.60 to 0.96]; P = 0.023), myocardial infarction (odds ratio, 0.60 [95% CI, 0.39 to 0.92]; P = 0.023), cardiac troponin release (standardized mean difference, −0.39 [95% CI, −0.59 to −0.18], P = 0.0002), need for inotropic medications (odds ratio, 0.40 [95% CI, 0.24 to 0.67]; P = 0.0004), extubation time (standardized mean difference, −0.35 [95% CI, −0.68 to −0.02]; P = 0.038), and with higher cardiac index/output (standardized mean difference, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.37 to 1.04]; P < 0.0001). The class of volatile anesthetics was not associated with changes in short-term mortality (1.63 vs. 1.65%; odds ratio, 1.04 [95% CI, 0.73 to 1.49]; P = 0.820) and acute kidney injury (odds ratio, 1.25 [95% CI, 0.77 to 2.03]; P = 0.358).
Conclusions
In adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, the class of volatile anesthetics was superior to propofol with regard to long-term mortality, as well as to many secondary outcomes indicating myocardial protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resternotomy still carries an important risk for an already high-risk population. Re-entry injuries may lead to massive bleeding, which can be difficult to control due to poor accessibility. The aim of the study was to assess early outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic adhesiolysis, as well as safety and feasibility. METHODS Forty-five patients received a video-assisted thoracoscopic adhesiolysis before resternotomy between April 1, 2016 and January 1, 2019. Records were reviewed for demographics, perioperative and early postoperative (Postop) outcomes. RESULTS The median age of the population was 73 years with a EUROSCORE II of 8.322. Only 1 (2.22%) patient experienced a major and 2 (4.44%) a minor re-entry injury. This resulted in a mean peroperative and 24-hour Postop blood loss of, respectively, 675.72 (range: 5-2862) and 444.71 mL (range: 0-2100). There was no significant difference between the use of minimally invasive and classic extracorporeal circulation (P = .276 and P = .81, respectively). Twenty-nine patients (64%) were not in need of red blood cell transfusion. A survival rate of 93.33% could be achieved. No deaths (n = 3) were related to the video-assisted thoracoscopic adhesiolysis or re-entry injuries. Kidney function remained stale postoperatively with creatinine preoperative and Postop levels of 1.56 (95%confidence interval: 1.07-2.05) and 1.43 (95%CI, 1.05-1.81) mg/dL (P = .264). Despite high-risk surgery, the median length of stay was 8 days. CONCLUSION A video-assisted thoracoscopic approach allows for a safe and effective adhesiolysis, due to increased visibility and accuracy. This approach may prevent major and minor re-entry injuries and consequently reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality of high-risk surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory response is activated during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and procalcitonin (PCT) increases during this inflammatory response. The objective of the study was to validate whether patients with higher serum PCT concentrations have a higher incidence of ARDS. METHODS The study was a prospective, single-center, observational cohort study. All patients who received cardiac surgery with CPB were screened for study eligibility. Patients were assigned to the PCT-elevated cohort or the control cohort according to serum PCT concentration on the first postoperative day with a cut-off value of 7.0 ng/mL. Patients were followed up until the 7th postoperative day. The primary endpoint was the incidence of ARDS, which was diagnosed according to the Berlin definition. RESULTS A total of 296 patients were enrolled, 64 patients were assigned to the PCT-elevated cohort and 232 patients were assigned to the control cohort. PCT concentration was 16.23 ± 5.9 ng/mL in the PCT-elevated cohort, and 2.70 ± 1.43 ng/mL in the control cohort (p < 0.001). The incidence of ARDS was significantly higher in the PCT-elevated cohort than in the control cohort (21.9% versus 5.6%, p < 0.001). The incidence of moderate-to-severe ARDS was also significantly higher in the PCT-elevated cohort than in the control cohort (10.9% versus 0.4%, p < 0.001). The hazard ratio of ARDS at 7 days in the PCT-elevated cohort, as compared with the control cohort, was 6.8 (95% confidence interval 2.7 to 17.4). The hazard ratio of moderate-to-severe ARDS in the PCT-elevated cohort was 57.3 (95% confidence interval 10.4 to 316.3). The positive predictive value of PCT for ARDS and moderate-to-severe ARDS were 0.242 and 0.121, respectively; the negative predictive value of PCT for ARDS and moderate-to-severe ARDS were 0.952 and 1.0, respectively. CONCLUSION Cardiac surgical patients with elevated PCT concentration have a higher incidence of ARDS. Elevated PCT may serve as a warning signal of postoperative ARDS in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB. Study registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-OCH-14005076).

Abstract
Background Cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) can induce microvascular dysfunction and tissue hypoperfusion. We hypothesized that the alterations in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived parameters would be associated with post-operative complications in cardiac surgery patients. Methods Prospective observational study performed at two University Hospitals. Ninety patients undergoing cardiac surgery with ECC were enrolled. The NIRS sensor was applied on the thenar eminence. A vascular occlusion test (VOT, 3-min ischemia) was performed at baseline (t0), at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (t1), 3 (t2) and 6 (t3) hours later. Baseline tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), oxygen extraction rate and microvascular reactivity indices were calculated. Results In the first hours after cardiac surgery, StO2 tended to increase (86% [80–89] at T3 versus 82% [79–86] at T0, p = ns), while both tissue oxygen extraction and microvascular reactivity tended to decrease, as indicated by increasing occlusion slope (− 8.1%/min [− 11.2 to − 7] at T3 versus − 11.2%/min [− 13.9 to − 7.9] at T0, p = ns) and decreasing recovery slope (1.9%/sec [1.1–2.9] at T3 versus 3.1%/sec [2.3–3.9] at T0, p = ns). No substantial differences were found in NIRS-derived variables and their changes over time between patients with complications and those without complications. Conclusions Peripheral tissue oxygen extraction and microvascular reactivity were reduced during the first hours after cardiac surgery. NIRS-derived parameters were not able to predict complications in this population of cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
Background Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) has been identified as an inflammatory mediator that exerts its function in inflammatory diseases. However, the roles of CIRP in patients who received cardiovascular surgery necessitating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are still unknown. The aim of this study was to examine CIRP levels and attempt to evaluate whether CIRP could serve as a predictor for lung dysfunction after cardiovascular surgery. Material/Methods Plasma CIRP levels were detected by ELISA in 31 patients who received cardiovascular surgery at different time points. Selective inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and TLR4) and mediators (Ang II, PAI-1, and soluble E-selectin) were also detected. Selective laboratory and clinical parameters were recorded at scheduled time points. Results Compared with pre-operation levels, CIRP levels significantly increased 6 h after cardiovascular surgery with CPB. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the length of CPB time contributed to CIRP production (P=0.013). Furthermore, CIRP was associated with Ang II (r=0.438, P=0.016), PAI-1 (r=0.485, P=0.006), and soluble E-selectin (r=0.470, P=0.008), which partly reflected lung injuries. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CIRP levels were independently associated with PaO2/FiO2 ratios (P=0.021). Conclusions The length of CPB time contributed to the upregulation of CIRP in patients who received cardiovascular surgery with CPB. CIRP levels could serve as a biomarker to predict the onset of lung injury induced by cardiovascular surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apoptosis is a cellular mechanism contributing to cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced lung injury. The ubiquitous PI3K/Akt pathway regulates proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation by controlling a broad range of target proteins including NF-κB and GSK-3β. The roles of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB and PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β pathways in CPB-related lung injury are unclear. METHODS Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into sham, CPB, Wortmannin (Wtn) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) groups (n = 18, each). Six subjects per group were evaluated at each of three time points: Prior to CPB (T1); opening of the left hilus pulmonis (T2); and 90 min after CPB (T3). Arterial blood specimens were obtained at each time point to test respiratory and oxygenation indices. Left lung tissues were processed for H&E and TUNEL staining. Western blot was employed to evaluate protein levels and activities of Akt, phospho-Akt (p-Akt), GSK-3β, phospho-GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) and nuclear NF-κB. RESULTS Lung ischemia/reperfusion and CPB caused notable lung injury, as evidenced by lung functional decline and pathological deterioration, accompanied by increases in apoptosis and expression levels of p-Akt, p-GSK-3β and nuclear NF-κB in lungs (all P < 0.05 vs. Sham). At T3, Wtn-treated CPB subjects showed worsened lung function and pathological lung structures, as well as apoptosis in lungs (all P < 0.05 vs. CPB); additionally, Wtn inhibited Akt phosphorylation and slightly, but significantly increased expression of nuclear NF-κB (both P < 0.001 vs. CPB). Conversely, treatment of subjects with IGF-I increased Akt phosphorylation (P < 0.001 vs. CPB), inhibited expression of nuclear NF-κB (P = 0.008 vs. CPB), improved lung function and tissue morphology (both P < 0.05 vs. CPB), and reduced apoptosis in lungs (P < 0.001 vs. CPB). Neither Wtn nor IGF-I did alter GSK-3β phosphorylation levels (P = 0.836 and P = 0.669 vs. CPB, respectively). CONCLUSION The PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway played a role in CPB-related lung injury, possibly through mediating apoptosis in lungs. GSK-3β, a signaling effector that also participated in CPB-induced apoptosis in lungs, but was not regulated by the PI3K/Akt pathway in this context.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Information is lacking about long-term survival and quality of life (QOL) after treating patients on extracorporeal life support. METHODS Outcome data were assessed by phone interviews, a QOL analysis using the EuroQol 5-dimensions questionnaire and a retrospective inquiry of the Regensburg ECMO Registry database for the decade 2006-2015. A statistical analysis was obtained by comparing patients with a cardiosurgical intervention (CS = 189 patients) with those without (w/oCS = 307 patients). RESULTS Survival to discharge in the w/oCS group was higher than that in the CS group (w/oCS: 41.7% vs CS: 29.5%; P = 0.004). A Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant difference between both groups in favour of patients w/oCS (log rank P = 0.02). This difference was no longer statistically significant after propensity score matching ( P = 0.07). The 1- and 2-year survival rates of discharged patients were 67% and 50% in the w/oCS group vs 60% and 45% in the CS group (log rank P = 0.29). Eighty-two patients answered the QOL questionnaire after a mean follow-up time of 4.2 ± 2.9 years. A total of 75% could handle their daily life; 57% were not limited in their usual activities. Mobility impairment was noted in 50%; 25% returned to work or school. There were no differences in the EuroQol 5-dimension indices between the patient groups. However, compared to a normative age-matched population, significantly lower indices were calculated. CONCLUSIONS Long-term survival rates in patients requiring extracorporeal life support are acceptable with a probable advantage for patients without an operation and a narrowed QOL. The results are promising and encouraging, but there is also a need for improvement.

Abstract
We retrospectively evaluated the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 on postoperative blood loss and acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).Electronic medical records of 771 patients who underwent OPCAB in our hospital between July 2012 and July 2014 were reviewed, and 249 patients without intraoperative HES-exposure (group NoHES) were matched 1:N with intraoperative HES-exposed 413 patients (group HES) based on propensity score. The effects of intraoperative HES on postoperative cumulative blood loss within the first 24 hours, need for bleeding-related reoperation, and occurrence of postoperative AKI (determined by KDIGO and RIFLE criteria) were analyzed.In our propensity score matched cohort, there were no significant differences between groups for median postoperative 24 hours blood loss (525 mL in group HES vs. 540 mL in group NoHES, P = .203) or need for bleeding-related reoperation (OR, 2.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64-9.34, P = .19). However, postoperative AKI (assessed by 2 criteria) occurred more frequently in group HES than in group NoHES (by KDIGO criteria: 10.7% vs. 3.6%; OR 3.43 [95% CI, 1.67-7.04]; P < .001 and by RIFLE criteria: 9.6% vs. 2%; OR 3.32 [95% CI, 1.34-8.24]; P = .01). The median volume of infused HES per patient weight was 16 mL/kg in group HES.In the patients undergoing OPCAB, intraoperative 6% HES 130/0.4 did not increase postoperative bleeding. However, renal safety remains a concern. Intraoperative use of HES should be determined cautiously during OPCAB.

Abstract
Anemia is an common condition in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and it is often present in one quarter to half of patients at admission. Several studies have indicated that anemia is a major risk factor for worse outcomes, including increased risk of mortality and major morbidity and prolonged hospitalization. Anemia is a leading reason for use of allogeneic blood transfusions. Harmful effects of anemia are often attributed to the reduced oxygen carrying capacity of blood, reduced viscosity and the resulting impaired rheologic characteristics of blood, underlying comorbidities, and the side effects of treatments given for anemia, namely, allogeneic blood transfusions. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery may be at increased risk of anemia given the often-existing cardiac comorbidities and the negative impacts of cardiopulmonary bypass. However, whether less restrictive transfusion practices are justified in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is still a matter of debate. The prevalence of anemia often increases during hospital stay, and it can persist for a long time beyond hospital discharge. Given the associated risks and available management strategies, clinicians should remain vigilant to detect and treat anemia throughout the course of care for patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Gaseous microemboli (GME) may originate from the extracorporeal circuit and enter the arterial circulation of the patient. GME are thought to contribute to cerebral deficit and to adverse outcome after cardiac surgery. The arterial filter is a specially designed component for removing both gaseous and solid microemboli. Integration of an arterial filter with an oxygenator is a contemporary concept, reducing both prime volume and foreign surface area. This study aims to determine the air-handling properties of four contemporary oxygenator devices with an integrated arterial filter. Two oxygenator devices, the Capiox FX25 and the Fusion, showed significant increased volume of GME reduction rates (95.03 ± 3.13% and 95.74 ± 2.69%, respectively) compared with both the Quadrox-IF (85.23 ± 5.84%) and the Inspire 6F M (84.41 ± 12.93%). Notably, both the Quadrox-IF and the Inspire 6F M as well as the Capiox FX 25 and the Fusion showed very similar characteristics in volume and number reduction rates and in detailed distribution properties. The Capiox FX25 and the Fusion devices showed significantly increased number and volume reduction rates compared with the Quadrox-IF and the Inspire 6F M devices. Despite the large differences in design of all four devices, our study results suggest that the oxygenator devices can be subdivided into two groups based on their fibre design, which results in screen filter (Quadrox-IF and Inspire 6F M) and depth filter (Capiox FX25 and Fusion) properties. Depth filter properties, as present in the Capiox FX25 and Fusion devices, reduced fractionation of air and may ameliorate GME removal.

Minor Postoperative Increases of Creatinine Are Associated with Higher Mortality and Longer Hospital Length of Stay in Surgical Patients. Anesthesiology 2016; 123:1301-11.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical patients frequently experience postoperative increases in creatinine levels. The authors hypothesized that even small increases in postoperative creatinine levels are associated with adverse outcomes. METHODS The authors examined the association of postoperative changes from preoperative baseline creatinine with all-cause in-hospital mortality and hospital length of stay (HLOS) in a retrospective analysis of surgical patients at a single tertiary care center between January 2006 and June 2012. RESULTS The data of 39,369 surgical patients (noncardiac surgery n = 37,345; cardiac surgery n = 2,024) were analyzed. Acute kidney injury (AKI)-by definition of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome group-was associated with a five-fold higher mortality (odds ratio [OR], 4.8; 95% CI, 4.1 to 5.7; P < 0.001) and a longer HLOS of 5 days (P < 0.001) after adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, congestive heart failure, preoperative hemoglobin, preoperative creatinine, exposure to radiocontrast agent, type of surgery, and surgical AKI risk factors. Importantly, even minor creatinine increases (Δcreatinine 25 to 49% above baseline but < 0.3 mg/dl) not meeting AKI criteria were associated with a two-fold increased risk of death (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.4; P < 0.001) and 2 days longer HLOS (P < 0.001). This was more pronounced in noncardiac surgery patients. Patients with minor creatinine increases had a five-fold risk of death (OR, 5.4; 95% CI, 1.5 to 20.3; P < 0.05) and a 3-day longer HLOS (P < 0.01) when undergoing noncardiac surgery. CONCLUSIONS Even minor postoperative increases in creatinine levels are associated with adverse outcomes. These results emphasize the importance to find effective therapeutic approaches to prevent or treat even mild forms of postoperative kidney dysfunction to improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several factors have been historically advocated to explain the coagulative and inflammatory disorders following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In this paper, we describe the presence of circulating non-hematological cells, introduced within the bloodstream during CPB. We defined the origin of the cells and tested their impact on coagulation. METHODS We collected peripheral arterial blood samples in twenty consecutive coronary artery bypass graft cases at four different surgical moments and assessed the presence and nature of circulating cells with the use of the CELLSEARCH® Test, immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence, evaluating the expression of cytokeratin and calretinin. The effect of the circulating non-hematological cells on coagulation was tested in vitro, using the ROTEM assay. RESULTS A mean of 263.85 ± 57.5 (median 258.5) cells were present in the samples following the suction of blood from the surgical field while all the other samples were negative (zero cells) (p<0.00001). Immunologic tests confirmed the mesothelial origin of the cells. The ROTEM® assay of the blood samples contaminated by the mesothelial cells presented longer clotting times (53.4 ± 8.2 secs 48.3 ± 8.9 sec, p=0.05), longer clot formation times (137.1 ± 31.5 sec vs 111.9 ± 25.2 sec, p=0.009), smaller alfa angle amplitudes (66.7 ± 9.1° vs 71.1 ± 5.1°, p=0.04) and maximum clot firmness times (59.0 ± 5.4 sec vs 61.9 ±4.6 sec, p=0.004) than the controls. CONCLUSION The presence of circulating non-hematological cells during CPB with a mesothelial immunophenotype alters in vitro coagulation assays. This finding can help to further understand the pathophysiology of CPB.

Abstract
Trauma still represents one of the major causes of death worldwide. Despite the reduction of post-traumatic sepsis over the past two decades, the mortality of septic trauma inpatients is still high (19.5-23 %). Early prevention of sepsis development can aid in the subsequent treatment of patients and help improve their outcomes. To date, the prevention of trauma-related infection/sepsis has mainly included infection prevention (e.g., surgical management, prophylactic antibiotics, tetanus vaccination, immunomodulatory interventions) and organ dysfunction prevention (e.g., pharmaceuticals, temporary intravascular shunts, lung-protective strategies, enteral immunonutrition, acupuncture). Overall, more efficient ways should be developed to prevent trauma-related infection/sepsis.

Abstract
Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (EC) frequently develop a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Surgical trauma, ischaemia-reperfusion injury, endotoxaemia and blood contact to nonendothelial circuit compounds promote the activation of coagulation pathways, complement factors and a cellular immune response. This review discusses the multiple pathways leading to endothelial cell activation, neutrophil recruitment and production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide. All these factors may induce cellular damage and subsequent organ injury. Multiple organ dysfunction after cardiac surgery with EC is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. In addition to the pathogenesis of organ dysfunction after EC, this review deals with different therapeutic interventions aiming to alleviate the inflammatory response and consequently multiple organ dysfunction after cardiac surgery.

Organ-protective effects on the liver and kidney by minocycline in small piglets undergoing cardiopulonary bypass. Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2015; 388:663-76.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often is required for the operative correction of congenital heart defects in small infants. Unfortunately, CPB is associated with injury of inner organs such as the brain, kidney, lung, and liver. Renal failure and increase in liver enzymes are typical side effects observed after CPB. Here, we investigate whether organ protection of the kidney and liver can be achieved with the application of minocycline, which is known-besides its anti-infective effects-to act as a poly-ADP-ribose-polymerase inhibitor. Twenty-nine 4-week-old Angler Sattelschwein-piglets (8-15 kg) were divided into four groups: control group (n = 8), CPB group (n = 9), minocycline-control group (n = 6), and the minocycline-CPB group (n = 6). CPB groups were thoracotomized and underwent CPB for 120 min (cross-clamp, 90 min; reperfusion, 30 min) followed by a 90-min recovery time. The control groups also were thoracotomized but not connected to CPB. The minocycline group received 4 mg/kg minocycline before and 2 mg/kg after CPB. In the kidneys, CPB histologically resulted in widening of Bowman's capsule, and-mainly in tubules-formation of poly-ADP-ribose, nitrosylation of tyrosine-residues, nuclear translocation of hypoxia-induced factor HIF-1α, and of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). In addition, we found significantly less ATP in the kidney and significantly increased plasma urea and creatinine. Similar but gradually attenuated changes were found in the liver together with significantly elevated de-Ritis coefficient. These changes in the kidney and liver were significantly diminished by minocycline (except AIF in the liver which was similar in all groups). In conclusion, CPB causes damage in the kidney and-to a lower degree-in the liver, which can be attenuated by minocycline.

Abstract
Background Prolonged storage of red blood cells (RBCs) leads to fundamental changes in both the RBCs and the storage media. We retrospectively evaluated the relationship between the RBC age and in-hospital and long-term postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass. Methods The electronic medical records of 1,072 OPCAB patients were reviewed and information on the transfused RBCs and clinical data were collected. The effects of RBCs age (mean age, oldest age of transfused RBCs, any RBCs older than 14 days) on various in-hospital postoperative complications and long-term major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events over a mean follow-up of 31 months were investigated. Correlations between RBCs age and duration of intubation, intensive care unit, or hospital stay, and base excess at the first postoperative morning were also analyzed. Results After adjusting for confounders, there was no relationship between the RBCs age and in-hospital and long-term clinical outcomes except for postoperative wound complications. A significant linear trend was observed between the oldest age quartiles of transfused RBCs and the postoperative wound complications (quartile 1 vs. 2, 3 and 4: OR, 8.92, 12.01 and 13.79, respectively; P for trend = 0.009). The oldest transfused RBCs showed significant relationships with a first postoperative day negative base excess (P = 0.021), postoperative wound complications (P = 0.001), and length of hospital stay (P = 0.008). Conclusions In patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass, the oldest age of transfused RBCs were associated with a postoperative negative base excess, increased wound complications, and a longer hospital stay, but not with the other in-hospital or long-term outcomes.
