Supports heparin-bonded circuits with lower anticoagulation in primary CABG; extends RCT evidence on thromboembolic risk reduction.
Two prospective, randomized studies were performed to definitively evaluate the safety and efficacy of heparin- bonded circuits in patients undergoing primary coro nary artery bypass graft surgery and to clarify the effect of anticoagulation protocol on clinical and neurologic outcomes. These studies showed that the use of heparin- bonded circuits with lower anticoagulation results in markedly improved clinical outcomes in patients under going primary coronary artery bypass graft surgery with a reduction in both clinical and microscopic throm boembolic risks. The mechanisms by which heparin- bonded circuits affect clinical and neurologic outcomes are explored.

Gabriel S. Aldea (1999) conducted an RCT in Primary coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Heparin-bonded circuits with lower anticoagulation was evaluated on Clinical outcomes and thromboembolic risks. Heparin-bonded circuits with lower anticoagulation improved clinical outcomes and reduced clinical and microscopic thromboembolic risks in patients undergoing primary coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
