Effects of ulinastatin on coagulation in high-risk patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Abstract: BackgroundBoth systemic inflammatory reaction and regional myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury may elicit hypercoagulability after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). We investigated the influence of ulinastatin, which suppresses the activity of polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, on coagulation in patients with elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) undergoing OPCAB.MethodsFifty patients whose preoperative hsCRP > 3.0 mg/L were rand… Show more

“…Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery is a technique that involves grafting veins or arteries to bypass the narrowed or blocked areas, thus improving blood flow and reducing the risk of death from coronary artery disease (80). However, individuals who undergo this procedure may experience complications related to coagulation and hemostasis (81). Thus, there is a need to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of OPCAB.…”

“…With the unavoidable interference in the coagulation cascade, however, DAPT is accompanied by an inevitable increase in bleeding risk, even in patients not exposed to surgical procedures [ 5 ]. In this context, surgery not only exposes the patients to additional bleeding risk but also exposes them to an increased risk of thrombosis due to the development of hypercoagulability during the early postoperative period as a result of systemic inflammation [ 6 7 ]. Unfortunately, approximately 5–20% of patients undergoing PCI are presented for non-cardiac surgery within the first 2 years after PCI [ 8 ].…”

“…Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery, in which veins or arteries are grafted to the coronary arteries to bypass atherosclerotic narrowing and improve the blood supply to the heart muscle, reduces the risk of mortality from coronary artery disease ( 2 ). However, coronary patients who have undergone OPCAB grafting often suffer from disorders of coagulation and hemostasis ( 3 ). Therefore, it is necessary to research the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of OPCAB.…”
