Coronary Bypass Grafting With Minimal Extracorporeal Circulation System Versus Off-pump Coronary Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT02118025
Lead Sponsor
Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
Brief Summary

The investigators aimed to evaluate the clinical results and the inflammatory response of the minimal extracorporeal circulation system (MECC) Compared with off-pump coronary revascularization (OPCABG).

This is a randomized and prospective study in 230 patients with indications for coronary surgery, with 113 patients in the OPCABG group and 117 in the MECC group. The endpoints were the clinical and biochemical results, intra-operative outcomes and the determination of 19 inflammatory circulating markers, 17 of them for the first time analyzed comparing both techniques.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical outcomeswithin the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

Number of Participants with Adverse Events, e.g, renal failure, atrial fibrillation, acute myocardial infarct, stroke, redo surgery, death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determination of increase over the first 48 hours of plasma levels of 19 circulating markers of inflammatory response.Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC 0-48 hours)

Determination of increase over the first 48 hours after the operation of plasma levels of 19 circulating markers of inflammatory response. The levels of inflammatory markers are measured in pg / mL and subsequently, the increase over the 48 hours is determined with the area under the curve.

Biochemical outcomesWithin the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

Changes in creatine kinase levels, troponin levels, glucose, leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. From basal point to 48 hours time after surgery.

Operative resultsWithin the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

Total hospitalization time (days)
