Effects of Low Dose Aspirin Pre-treatment on Platelet Activation Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02209909
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Platelet activation after off pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery may affect thrombus formation. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of preoperative continuation of aspirin on platelet activation after off pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Detailed Description

Patients undergoing OPCAB surgery will be randomized to continue preoperative aspirin or discontinue aspirin before surgery.

Platelet activation can be evaluated by measuring platelet p-selectin using flowcytometry. In this study, we will compare platelet-activated markers and conventional coagulation tests.

GroupInterventionDescription
aspirin discontinuationaspirin discontinuationIntervention: Low-dose aspirin is stopped more than 4 days before OPCAB surgery in the aspirin discontinuation group.
aspirin continuationaspirin continuationIntervention : Low-dose aspirin (\< 100mg/day) is used before OPCAB surgery in the aspirin continuation group.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
change from baseline in platelet p-selectin at 48 hours after operationafter induction of anesthesia(baseline), at the time of end of operation, 24 hour after operation, 48hr after operation

Primary outcome is expression of platelet p-selectin measured by flowcytometry 48 hours after OPCAB surgery in both groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
change from baseline in conventional coagulation tests at the time of end of operation, 24 hour after operation, and 48hr after operationafter induction of anesthesia(baseline), at the time of end of operation, 24 hour after operation, 48hr after operation

prothrombin time (international normalized ratio), activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen
