Minimal Extracorporeal Circuits (MECC) in Cardiac Surgery Procedures

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Postoperative Bloodloss

• Registration Number: NCT01306903
• Lead Sponsor: Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital

Brief Summary

The standard heart-lung machine is a major trigger of systemic inflammatory reactions, hemodilution, coagulopathy or organ failure. The strict reduction of blood-artificial surface and blood-air contact might represent meaningful improvements of the extracorporeal technology with respect to organ preservation.

The aim of this study is the evaluation of potential differences between a minimal extracorporeal circuit (MECC) and a conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (MOPS) system.
