Pre-operative treatment with Erythropoietin and iron supplement for prevention of perioperative blood transfusion in cardiac surgery

Primary objective: To determine the reduction of number of patients who receive blood transfusion perioperatively in the group pre-treated with erythropoietin and iron supplement compared to the control patients.

Does have autologous blood withdrawal pre-operative with and without sequestration, effect on the usage of allogeneic bloodproducts during and after heartsurgery.

When it is possible to prove that there is a significant difference between the sequestration group and the other two groups, it also will be possible for patients with a smaller body surface to donate autologous blood and also this group will need…

Do washed irradiated red blood cells with a balanced solution improve the quality of the priming in cardiopulmonary bypass for neonates and infants?

Improve the quality of red blood cells used for cardiopulmonary bypass for neonates and infants with a bodyweight smaller then 10 Kg.

Catheter ablation versus Amiodarone to prevent future shock episodes in patients with a defibrillator and a history of a myocardial infarction.

The main objective of this study is to compare the occurrence of next ICD shock therapy for VT or VF in patients with hospital presentation for an ICD shock therapy for VT or VF, with a history of a myocardial infarction, between patients randomized…

Autologous Platelet-Leukocyte Gel Therapy during sternum closure in cardiac surgery patients at risk for post-operative infection.

To investigate whether application of APLG will lead to reduction in: 1) sternal wound infections 2) vessel harvest site infections 3) postoperative blood loss 4) postoperative pain

The Real-World Endeavor Resolute versus Xience V Drug-Eluting Stent Study in Twente

Primary research questions:* To investigate whether the clinical outcome following the randomized implantation of the Endeavor Resolute® versus XIENCE V® drug-eluting stent is similar, as assessed in a non-inferiority setting by comparing target-…

Preserved platelet function during cardiopulmonary bypass with aprotinin in dual antiplatelet therapy.

Primary objectiveTo determine whether aprotinin can reverse the increased postoperative blood loss, induced by dual anti-platelet therapy in elective non-complex cardiac surgery.Secondary objectiveTo determine whether aprotinin reduces transfusion…

PREVENTION OF VASOPLEGIA WITH THE USE OF CYTOSORB

To test the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of using CytoSorb in preventing vasoplegia in patients with heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery on CPB.

Optimization of prime fluid strategy to preserve microcirculatory perfusion during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass

- Part I: determine the difference in microcirculatory perfusion between three different prime fluid strategies in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.- Part II: To determine the effect of limiting hemodilution…
