Optimal anticoagulation is mandatory during CPB in order to avoid hemostatic system activation. Platelet dysfunction is commonly observed after procedures performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This is associated with a major risk of thrombosis and bleeding in the postoperative period.
Coating of the surface has been shown to diminish these effects.Biocompatible surfaces, extracorporeal circulation technologies mimic critical characteristics of the vascular endothelium to provide thromboresistance and enhanced blood compatibility. Recently, a new physiologic non heparin coating with different functional aspects was developed as an alternative to heparin based biological coatings. This bio-passive Hydrophilic Polymer Coating Without Heparin (BalanceTM Bio-Passive surface) and pediatric oxygenation system (Affinity PixieTM Oxygenation System), is designed to mimic the natural interfaces of blood. The aim of this study is to compare the influence of a Balance - coated CPB system in pediatric use versus the Carmeda TM heparin-coated system in platelet function preservation and hemostatic activation.
Platelet dysfunction is commonly observed after procedures performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This is associated with a major risk of thrombosis and bleeding in the postoperative period.
Coating of the surface has been shown to diminish these effects. Since the coagulation system and platelets are involved in the blood activation process, a coating might be a valuable approach to inhibit the different reactions. Improving the biocompatibility of the system by reduction of contact activation of blood elements is of significant importance, especially for neonates and infants who are more susceptible to the deleterious effects of extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Biocompatible surfaces extracorporeal circulation technologies mimic critical characteristics of the vascular endothelium to provide thromboresistance and enhanced blood compatibility. These biocompatible surfaces mitigate the foreign body response that occurs when blood comes in contact with non- endothelial surfaces.

This study compares the influence of a Balance - coated CPB system in pediatric use versus the Carmeda TM heparin-coated system in platelet function preservation and hemostatic activation. Balance arm group recieved like intervention a Balance circuit
The carmeda arm group received like intervention the Carmeda circuit
The primary endpoint will be the difference in levels of ß thromboglobulin (ß TG) at T2 (15 min after end of bypass) between the two groups.
Assuming a reduction of 30% of ß TG in infants treated with Balance TM , a total of 64 infants, 32 on each arm, will be needed to detect a Δ = 246 (mean ß TG = 820ng/ml in group Carmeda and mean ß TG =574ng/ml in group Balance; standard deviation=300) , in the level of ß TG at T2 with a two sided p=0.05 and a power of 80%. Taking in to account the use of non parametric test, we estimated an increase of the calculated sample size of 15%, yielding a total sample size of 74 patients.
Time frame: six months
Platelet mapping by thromboelastography (Hemoscope, Medtronic) will be performed at the following times: T0,T1,T2,T3.
Flow cytometry will be analysed at T0, T1,T2. Fibrinogen levels, platelet count, prothrombin time, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), F 1+2, PF4 , will be analysed at each time of the study. Differences of bleeding, and transfusion of any blood product, during the first postoperative 24 hours, will be collected. Analysis of differences of activation at different times, for two different temperatures, used for CPB in the two centers. Need of surgical review for bleeding, time of intubation, length of stay in ICU will be analyzed.
