Filter by:Rationale: Cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) triggers platelets. Minimal extracorporeal circulation system (minimal-ECC) has several advantages compared with conventional ECC amongst less platelet activation. Platelet function can be analysed with thromboelastography (TEG) and multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA). Objective: The use of minimal ECC leads to less platelet dysfunction compared with conventional ECC in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) analysed with TEG and MEA Study design: Single center, prospective, randomized, pilot study Study population: Group 1: 20 patients undergoing CABG using minimal ECC. Patients continued the use of acetylsalicylic acid and discontinued the use of clopidogrel minimal 5 days preoperative. Group 2: 20 patients undergoing CABG using conventional ECC. Patients continued the use of acetylsalicylic acid and discontinued the use of clopidogrel minimal 5 days preoperative. Intervention: Group 1: CABG using minimal ECC Group 2: CABG using conventional ECC Main study parameters/endpoints: 1. Results of TEG and MEA, see detailed description 2. Per operative blood loss and total blood loss 24 hours after CABG 3. Total amount of transfused platelet units during CABG and 24 hours after CABG
