Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

    From administration of Haemocomplettan® P until 24 hours later

  • Duration of stay in ICU

    Last suture of initial surgery to end of ICU stay

  • Duration of hospital stay

    Last suture of initial surgery to end of hospital stay

  • Mortality

    45 days post surgery

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Eighteen years of age or older
  • Undergoing elective thoracoabdominal aortic replacement surgery (TAAA) or thoracic aortic replacement surgery (TAA)
  • Understood and willingly given written informed consent (German language) to participate following an explanation of study background, restrictions, and procedures
  • Experience clinically relevant bleeding of the microvasculature following removal of CPB during surgery

You may not qualify if:

  • Positive pregnancy test, pregnancy or lactation
  • Women of child bearing age not using a medically approved method of contraception during the study
  • Previous aortic replacement at the same aortic site (redo surgeries)
  • Undergoing an emergency operation
  • Proof or suspicion of a congenital or acquired coagulation disorder (e.g. VWD or via severe liver disease)
  • Myocardial Infarction (MI) or apoplexy in the 2 months preceding study surgery
  • ASA administration in the 3 days preceding study surgery, and a pathological (\<74.5 U) ASPI Multiplate® test immediately preceding surgery begin
  • Clopidogrel administration in the 5 days preceding study surgery, and a pathological (\<31.1 U) ADP/PG Multiplate® test immediately preceding surgery begin
  • Tirofiban administration in the 2 days preceding study surgery, and a pathological (\<94.1 U) TRAP Multiplate® test immediately preceding surgery begin
  • Phenprocoumon administration in the 5 days preceding study surgery, and an INR \> 1.28 immediately preceding surgery begin
  • Participation in another clinical study in the 4 weeks preceding aortic replacement
  • Sensitivity to any of the components of study medication, or to MPs with a similar chemical structure to any of the components of study medication
  • Any indication that the restrictions or procedures of the study may not be adhered to (e.g. an uncooperative attitude)
  • Any indication that the study restrictions, procedures, or consequences therein have not been considered or understood, such that informed consent cannot be convincingly given
  • Multiple morbidities, with a notably constrained remaining length of life
