Impact of minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation on coagulation-a randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) is suggested to have favourable impact on blood loss compared to conventional extracorporeal circulation. We aimed to compare the impact of both systems on coagulation.

Methods

Randomized trial comparing endogenous thrombin-generating potential early after elective coronary surgery employing either MiECC group (n = 30) or conventional extracorporeal circulation group (n = 30). Secondary outcomes were in vivo thrombin generation, bleeding end points and haemodilution, as well as morbidity and mortality up to 30-day follow-up.

Results

Compared to the conventional extracorporeal circulation group, the MiECC group showed (i) a trend towards a higher early postoperative endogenous thrombin-generating potentia
