Abstract
Though there has been rapid progress in coronary bypass surgery, postoperative hemostatic disorders due to extracorporeal circulation (ECC) are one of the remaining obstacles of this technique. Thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction [5], hyperfibrinolysis [3, 7] or activation of the anticoagulant system [4] going along with consumption of pro- and anticoagulant proteins [3–5] can cause extensive postoperative bleeding. Furthermore, the activation of intravasal coagulation might be the pathophysiological base for complex postoperative complications [4]. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether a reduction in the preoperative thromboresistant potential quantified by various hemostatic parameters is linked to intra- or postoperative complications.
