Background: Prevention and optimal treatment of postoperative bleeding are of great clinical importance in various types of surgeries including coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Reducing the amount of bleeding will reduce the complications subsequent to blood transfusion. The positive effects of coagulation factors, especially fibrinogen, after cardiovascular bypass could have beneficial effects due to reduced bleeding and less need for blood transfusion. However, different studies have reported controversial findings.

Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of prophylactic administration of fibrinogen on blood loss in patients undergoing CABG surgery to achieve more accurate clinical outcomes.

Methods: This was a double-blind randomized clinical trial conducted on 36 patients hospitalized in Ahvaz Imam Khomeini Hospital for coronary artery bypass graft. Patients were randomized to receive either fibrinogen concentrate (n = 18) or placebo (n = 18). Hemoglobin, hematocrit, international normalized ratio, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and fibrinogen were checked preoperatively. The transfusion of allogeneic blood components and the volume of blood loss were recorded and compared between the groups.

Results: Prophylactic fibrinogen injection reduced the need for blood transfusion, blood products, and postoperative hypotension in the fibrinogen group when compared to the control group (P ≤ 0.005). There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the amount of bleeding during operation (P ≤ 0.005).

Conclusions: Fibrinogen plays a key role in preventing and stopping the bleeding. Accordingly, fibrinogen decreases bleeding and the need for paced cell in patients in CABG. Given the adverse outcomes of bleeding and coagulopathy in patients undergoing surgery, we conclude that the use of fibrinogen could be beneficial as a prophylactic in hemorrhagic surgery.

The clinical black, white, and gray lessons.

Authors:
Vishnu Priya Pulipati Michael H Davidson

Curr Opin Lipidol 2021 Apr;32(2):151-156

Preventive Cardiology, Section of Cardiology, The University of Chicago Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Purpose Of Review: This review examines recent contradictory large, well-controlled randomized control trials assessing the effects of omega-3 fatty acids and colchicine on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes.

Recent Findings: The Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with Icosapent Ethyl-Intervention Trial (REDUCE-IT) and Statin Residual Risk Reduction with Epanova in high Cardiovascular Risk patients with Hypertriglyceridemia (STRENGTH) trial assessed the CV outcomes using high-dose omega-3 fatty acids in statin-treated patients with moderate hypertriglyceridemia and high-risk for CV disease with differing results. Similarly, Colchicine Cardiovascular Outcomes trial, (COLCOT) second Low Dose Colchicine (LoDoCo2), and Colchicine in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (COPS) assessed the CV outcomes using low-dose colchicine in patients with coronary artery disease with inconsistent results.

Clin Appl Thromb Hemost 2021 Jan-Dec;27:1076029621999722

Department of Pharmacology, Xiangyang Central Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Arts and Science, Xiangyang, Hubei, China.

We investigated the association between serum adenosine deaminase and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The cross-sectional study included 459 patients with T2DM, the clinical and laboratory tests were performed, and all T2DM patients were separated into the 3 groups based on the tertile of serum adenosine deaminase levels. In the baseline data, the CAC score had statistically significant differences between the 3 groups (p < 0. Read More
