Phase 1
Conditions
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is an established alternative to on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG),OPCAB, like any other surgical procedure, determines a pro-coagulant state potentially deleterious on grafts patency, that is not counterbalanced by the adverse effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on coagulation occurring in CABG, and that lasts as long as one month. Therefore systemic heparinization is necessary in OPCAB to prevent thrombotic complications during trans

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To test the hypothesis that in OPCAB low dose heparinization is superior to high dose heparinization for the prevention of major perioperative bleeding events, without an higher rate of thrombotic complications.;Secondary Objective: To reduce the need for red blood cell and platelets transfusions;Primary end point(s): Composite vascular endpoint (death from vascular causes, perioperative myocardial infarction, stroke), and composite peri-operative major bleeding endpoint (redo for excessive bleeding, cardiac tamponade, transfusion =3 Units of packed red cells or of platelets).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days post-operatives
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): Post-operative bleeding, transfusion of <3 Units of packed red cells or of platelets, peak value of cardiac biomarker, transient ischemic cerebral attack, bowel ischemia, pulmonary embolus.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days
