  6. PHARMACOLOGIC PRESERVATION OF THE HEMOSTATIC SYSTEM • Platelet inhibition: - Dipyridamole - Prostacyclin (PGI2), PGE1 - IIb/IIIa receptor inhibition: Abxcimab, integrelin • Broad-spectrum inhibition: Aprotinin • Plasmin inhibition: Tranexamic Acid, EACA • Thrombin and Factor Xa inhibition: - Heparin: LMWH (Xa) vs UFH (Xa/IIa) - Heparin Adjuncts: AT III, HCF II (Dermatan Sulfate) - Warfarin - Direct Thrombin Inhibitors

  10. Mechanisms of Action: Aprotinin vs Antifibrinolytic Agents Aprotinin EACA / TA Yes Yes Preservation of Fibrinogen, Factors V, VIII Yes Yes Preservation of Platelet GP 1b receptors Yes Yes Reduced Platelet Inhibition via FDPs Yes* No Inhibition of Contact Activation Probable* No Inhibition of Tissue Factor Activation Yes* No Inhibition of Platelet Activation / Consumption Yes* No Antiinflammatory Properties Yes** No Inhibition of Protein C Activity Antifibrinolytic Actions: Effect on Hemostatic System Activation: *200 KIU/mL ** > 250-300 KIU/mL

  11. CHALLENGES TO HEMOSTATIC SYSTEM BALANCE DURING CPB GOAL: EFFECTIVE HEMOSTASIS HEMORRHAGE THROMBOSIS ADEQUATE AND REVERSIBLE ANTICOAGULATION Pre-existing HYPERCOAGULABILITY:ATIII/Protein C/S, FV Leiden, LA/ACLAbs,  homocysteine, HIT, h/o thromboembolism, h/o CHF, hypoperfusion INHIBITION OF FIBRINOLYSIS (e.g. EACA) or PROTEIN C (e.g. >300 KIU/mL Aprotinin) INCREASED PROCOAGULANTS DDAVP (e.g. vWF), Tx (e.g. platelets, FEIBA)  INADEQUATE SUPPRESSION OF HEMOSTATIC ACTIVATION DURING CPB  DECREASED PROCOAGULANTS CPB hemodilution, consumption INHIBITION OF HEMOSTASIS - Antibodies to platelets, coag proteins - Xa/IIa inhibitors (e.g. LMWH, r-hirudin) - Platelet inhibitors (e.g Plavix, ? Reopro) - Heparin rebound, FFP Tx (i.e., ATIII)

  12. Summary for Bleeding Complications Perioperative Bleeding Complications: Can lead to adverse outcomes related to complications associated with reexploration, transfusion and CNS injury Patients at high-risk include those: with congenital defects, on long-acting anti-thrombotic agents, with trauma, or patients who require complex cardiac procedures (CPB) Prevention  When compared to EACA/TA, aprotinin (full-dose regimen): - is probably more effective in reducing bleeding, transfusion and reexploration in high-risk patients - and has an extensive safety record Optimal Anticoagulation results in preservation of the hemostatic system especially with prolonged CPB which leads to reduced blood loss / transfusion and possibly thrombotic complications

  13. Summary for Bleeding Complications Optimal Management of excessive bleeding: Although laboratory-based tests may be helpful, the history and physical exam should preoperatively identify patients at risk who require further laboratory evaluation  Use of POC diagnostic tests along with a standardized transfusion approach (e.g. algorithm) can optimize perioperative transfusion/pharmacologic (e.g. DDAVP) management  Although factor concentrates used as a rescue therapy can be life-saving, thrombotic risk and cost preclude routine use
