Formation of intracardiac thrombus during cardiopulmonary bypass despite full heparinization and adequate activated clotting time -A case report-
نویسندگان
چکیده
We reports a case of a newly formed thrombus in the left atrial appendage during cardiopulmonary bypass detected by transesophageal echocardiography in a patient with chronic atrial fibrillation and mitral stenosis. This case alerts the anesthesiologists of possible thrombus formation despite full heparinization during cardiac surgery and the importance of a comprehensive echocardiography examination.

Abrupt formation of intracardiac thrombus during cardiopulmonary bypass with full heparinization -A case report-
Intracardiac thrombus during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with full heparinization is very rare but fatal. A 60-year-old woman was scheduled for aortic and mitral valve repairs with a maze procedure for mixed aortic and mitral valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography showed moderate aortic regurgitation and mode...

متن کاملNitric oxide: platelet protectant properties during cardiopulmonary bypass/ECMO.
Postoperative bleeding is a major complication in patients who have been placed on extracorporeal circulatory support for various cardiac procedures (1). The increase in hemorrhage is well documented and is associated with various factors, which include, high-dose systemic heparinization, thrombocytopenia, and impaired platelet function. Platelets activate when exposed to the large foreign surf...
متن کاملEstimation of Minimum Heparin Circulation Time for Activated Clotting Time Determination
Prior to commencing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) anticoagulation is generally monitored by the activated clotting time (ACT). Serial ACT estimations at one minute time intervals were performed on 50 CPB patients following heparinization to establish the time required for heparin circulation and for elevation of the ACT to a preset target value of 400 seconds. The results showed that adequate an...
متن کاملVascular thrombosis associated with aprotinin and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest: where are we in 2006?
To the Editor:—I read with great interest the recent report by ShoreLesserson and Reich detailing diffuse venous thromboembolism in the setting of aprotinin and adult deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. To my knowledge, this is the first reported case of venous thrombosis associated with aprotinin and adult deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in the era of adequate heparinization, as defined b...
