Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma Harvesting Platelet Rich Plasma WB Collected by harvesting 15-20 ml/kg whole blood prior to CPB Fractionating off the PRP component. The goal was a yield of 10-15 ml/kg of aPRP. aPRP RBC
Purpose aPRP was used to reestablish hemostasis and significantly reduce intra-operative transfusions Investigate the effect of aPRP transfusion on the clinical outcome of patients undergoing aortic arch surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA)
Materials and Methods • Retrospectively reviewed 454 cases of ascending aorta and arch repair with DHCA. • Ages 18-80, • From Feb. 2003 to Dec. 2008. • 200 patients underwent aPRP harvest and 254 patients did not.
Results • In the PRP group 39/200 (19.5%) received no transfusions 129/200(64.5%) received no platelet transfusion 70/200(35%) required 4 or less units of transfusion
Conclusions • Use of aPRP in ascending arch repair with DHCA surgery resulted in reduced morbidity and mortality. • Prospective randomized controlled studies are required.
