Endocan Blood Level in Pulmonary Circulation

Conditions
Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Lung
Cardiac Surgery
Registration Number
NCT04616820
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon
Brief Summary

Endocan is a proteoglycan produced by the vascular endothelium. Animal studies suggested that the synthesis mainly happen in the pulmonary circulation, but this hypothesis has never been confirmed in humans.

Detailed Description

The investigators will measure endocan levels in both pulmonary and systemic venous blood in patients undergoing on pump cardiac surgery.

The main objective is to quantify the difference of endocan blood level between the pulmonary and the systemic circulation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quantify the difference of Endocan blood levels between pulmonary and systemic circulation at the end of cardiopulmonary bypassAt the end of cardiopulmonary bypass

Blood samples will be collected at the same time in both pulmonary and systemic circulation at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass to measure Endocan blood level. The primary outcome will be the absolute difference between the Endocan blod level in the pulmonary circulation and in the systemic circulation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Kinetic of Endocan blood level in the systemic circulation during on pump cardiac surgeryPrior to the start of cardiopulmonary bypass, at the beginning and at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, and at the end of surgery

Blood samples will be collected in the systemic circulation prior to the start of cardiopulmonary bypass, at the beginning of the cardiopulmonary bypass and at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, and at the end of the surgery
