Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of ASTRACS study is to assess the impact of two different strategy of blood transfusion on bleeding and the total volume of red blood cell transfusion requirements during and after thoracic aortic surgery

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Main outcome measures: The total volume of allogeneic red blood cells transfused during the surgery and within 24 hours after the surgery

Key secondary outcomes

Other outcome measures: The total volume of mediastinal drainage during the first 12 hours or the first 24 hours in the ICU, re-exploration for bleeding, duration of time in the operating room after CPB, length of stay in ICU and hospital, hospital death, one-year survival, morbidity (e.g., renal failure, liver dysfunction, infection, heart failure, MI, neurological dysfunction, thromboembolic events), the total amount of each blood component transfused during hospitalization, the value of hemoglobin, platelet count, fibrinogen, prothrombin time, or activated partial thromboplastin time just prior to transfusion of each blood component, and the total medical cost.

Maneuver

Interventions/Control_1

Arm1: liberal strategy
Platelet concentrates are transfused if the platelet count drops below 100,000/uL,and platelet counts are maintained at 100,000/uLor more.
Cryoprecipitates are transfused if plasma fibrinogen level drops below 150 mg/dL, and plasma fibrinogen levels are maintained at 150 mg/dL or more.

Interventions/Control_2

Arm2: restrictive strategy
Platelet concentrates are transfused if the platelet count drops below 50,000/uL,and platelet counts are maintained at 50,000/uLor more.
Fresh frozen plasmas are transfused if plasma fibrinogen level drops below 150 mg/dL, and plasma fibrinogen levels are maintained at 150 mg/dL or more.

Key inclusion criteria

Patient must be scheduled to undergo thoracic aortic surgery
Patient must be >=20 years and <90 years of age
Patient must be willing and able to give informed consent
(or written informed consent is obtained from the patient's legal representative in case in which informed consent could not be obtained from the patient because of critical illness.)

Key exclusion criteria

The Patient has a congenital bleeding tendency
The patient has chronic thrombocytopenia (defined as a platelet count <100,000/uL for more than 30 days)
The patient has anemia (defined as a hemoglobin level <8.0g/dL)
The patient possesses an anti-HLA or anti-platelet antibody, resulting in platelet refractoriness
It is highly possible to complete the surgery of the patient without any transfusion in the judgement of the investigator.
The patient is inappropriate for entry onto this study in the judgment of the investigator.
