Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tissue damage of the heart.<br>Determination (daily) by the biomarker Troponin I (hsTnI) up to 96 h after the bypass surgery.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety of CRP apheresis:<br>In order to assess the safety, a continuous monitoring of the vital parameters of blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation as well as the general condition of the participants during the treatments are carried out.<br><br>Cardiac events up to hospital discharge:<br> - Cardiac arrhythmias<br> - Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI)<br> - Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)<br> - Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS)<br> - Re-operation<br> - Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)<br> - Angina pectoris<br><br>Tissue damage of the heart until 72 h after bypass surgery:<br> - Creatine kinase, MB fraction (CK-MB)<br> - Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (hFABP)<br> - Procalcitonin<br> - Myoglobin<br> - Leukocytes<br> - Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
