Intraoperative treatment strategy to reduce the incidence of postcardiopulmonary bypass atrial fibrillation

Abstract: This novel intraoperative treatment strategy of both mechanical (leukocyte filtration) and pharmacological (aprotinin) intervention appears to markedly reduce the incidence of postcardiopulmonary bypass atrial fibrillation. To our knowledge, this is the first study to combine these two treatment strategies. A previous study has noted a decline in atrial fibrillation with aprotinin in the animal model, but not to the extent observed in our study. The beneficial effects of the reduction of atrial fibrillation in… Show more

“…11 We also observed a tendency of atrial fibrillation to occur within 48-72 hours after surgery. This non-blinded, randomized study enrolled 120 patients (55 control, 65 treatment), with the treatment arm receiving strategic total leukocyte filtration and full Hammersmith dose of aprotinin.…”

“…Αυτά τα φίλτρα είναι ικανά να εξαντλήσουν τη συστηµατική κυκλοφορία των λευκών και πιθανόν να βελτιώσουν τη λειτουργία των οργάνων µετά την επέµβαση. Βελτιωµένη προσκόλληση ουδετεροφίλων [626], καλύτερη ενδοθηλιακή λειτουργία [626] και λειτουργία των πνευµόνων [627], περιορισµό της βλάβης επαναιµάτωσης [628], µειωµένη συχνότητα κολπικής µαρµαρυγής [629] και βελτίωση της εγκεφαλικής λειτουργίας µετά από κυκλοφορική παύση [630], αποτελούν φερόµενα οφέλη που αποδίδονται στη χρήση των εξασθενηµένων λευκών στα διάφορα στάδια της CPB.
