Heparin-free cardiopulmonary bypass : first reported use of heparinoid (org 10172) to provide anticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass

Org 10172 provided adequate anticoagulation for this patient. An excellent correlation between anti-factor Xa activity and ACT was observed at the doses used for CPB. If high-dose Org 10172 is used, these data suggest that it may be possible to circumvent the measurement of anti-factor Xa activity b...

Zusammenfassung:Org 10172 provided adequate anticoagulation for this patient. An excellent correlation between anti-factor Xa activity and ACT was observed at the doses used for CPB. If high-dose Org 10172 is used, these data suggest that it may be possible to circumvent the measurement of anti-factor Xa activity by using the ACT as an index of this heparinoid's anticoagulant effect. Because postoperative bleeding may be excessive, however, development of a method of reversal of Org 10172 is desirable. Although the optimal ACT, dose, plasma concentration, and means of reversal (e.g., protamine vs. heparinase) remains to be determined, heparinoids provide an alternate means of anticoagulation for CPB in patients unable to receive standard heparin.
