RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the application of heparin treated circuits for elective coronary artery surgery improves postoperative recovery, a European multicenter randomised clinical trial was carried out. METHODS: In 11 European heart centers, 805 low-risk patients underwent cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with either an untreated circuit (n = 407) or an identical but heparin treated circuit (n = 398, Duraflo II). RESULTS: Significant differences were found among participating centers with respect to patient characteristics, blood handling procedures and postoperative care. The use of heparin treated circuits revealed no overall changes in blood loss, blood use, time on ventilator, occurrence of adverse events, morbidity, mortality, and intensive care stay. These results did not change after adjustment for centers and (other) prognostic factors as analysed with logistic regression. In both groups no clinical or technical (patient or device related) side effects were reported. Because female gender and aortic cross clamp time appeared as prognostic factors in the logistic regression analysis, a subgroup analysis with these variables was performed. In a subpopulation of females (n = 99), those receiving heparin treated circuits needed less blood products, had a lower incidence of rhythm disturbances and were extubated earlier than controls. In another subgroup of patients with aortic cross clamp time exceeding 60 min (n = 197), the amount of patients requiring prolonged intensive care treatment (> 24 h) was significantly lower when they received heparin treated circuits versus controls. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that improved recovery can be expected with heparin treated circuits in specific higher risk patient populations (e.g. females) and when prolonged aortic cross clamp time is anticipated. Further investigations are recommended to analyses the clinical benefit of heparin treated circuits in studies with patients in different well defined risk categories and under better standardised circumstances.

RESUMO

Although the outcome of patients transplanted after univentricular cardiac support is similar to that of conventional patients, death on the device remains a substantial problem. The wearable Novacor left ventricular assist system (LVAS) may offer advantages over console-based systems by improving rehabilitation before transplantation. For these advantages to be realised, however, a smooth perioperative course is necessary. We describe our operative technique, based on minimising blood loss and preserving right ventricular function, and the results in the first three patients to have the wearable Novacor LVAS implanted in this institution.
