Heparin-free Management of Intra-aortic Balloon Pump after Cardiac Surgery

Abstract: In patients undergoing cardiac surgery with IABP support, the rate of thromboembolic complications was relatively low compared to historical controls. Heparin-free management may reduce the risk of hemorrhagic complications, with a low risk of thrombotic complications. Heparin should not be routinely used in patients requiring IABP after cardiac surgery.

“…In addition, IABP catheterrelated local wound infections and systemic infections among the rare complications which should be kept in mind. [6,[8][9][10][11][12] In the literature, IABP complications are similar to those reported in our study population. Among the patients with IABP inserted in the OR, critical leg ischemia was observed in two patients and retroperitoneal hematoma due to vascular trauma in one patient.…”

“…32 Frank et al 28 also documented the necessity of increased blood transfusion with the use of heparin for IABP insertion. Kogan et al 33 in his study demonstrated the reduced need for blood transfusion by minimizing the need for heparin in IABP insertion.…”

“…In a trial with 153 patients requiring IABP at a single center between 2001 and 2004, there was a higher incidence of bleeding in the heparinized (14.1 %) vs. non-heparinized (2.4 %) group, but there was no difference in the incidence of limb ischemia [ 26 ]. As a result, there are no clear recommendations for the use of heparin to prevent thrombosis and embolization with IABP; however, heparin is used with most patients [ 27 ]. Although industry guidelines do not require anticoagulation with IABP, especially at a 1:1 ratio, heparin use with IABP in patients without contraindications, maintained >24 h, and with a lower ratio (e.g., 1:2) is thought to be reasonable [ 8 ].…”
