Participant Flow

Patients were enrolled by the research nurse at the time of the preoperative evaluation for surgery. All patients provided written informed consent. The study period was from June 2007 until June 2012.

One hundred and fifty patients consented to participate in the study. Of these patients, 13 were excluded,12 withdrew before randomization, 4 had their surgeries canceled, 3 had their surgery dates changed, and 3 patients did not proceed with the study for other reasons. The remaining 115 patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups.

Measure
Placebo Group
Normal saline (placebo) was started in the operating room after induction of anesthesia and before heparinization, continued throughout the bypass period, and discontinued at the end of surgery.
Aminocaproic Acid Group
Aminocaproic acid (an antifibrinolytic drug) was started in the operating room after induction of anesthesia and before heparinization, continued throughout the bypass period, and discontinued at the end of surgery. Aminocaproic acid was given as an intravenous bolus of 100 mg/kg over one-half hour followed by an infusion of 30 mg/kg/hr.
HOE 140 Group
HOE 140 (a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist) was started in the operating room after induction of anesthesia and before heparinization, continued throughout the bypass period, and discontinued at the end of surgery. HOE 140 was given as an intravenous bolus of 22 µg/kg over one-half hour followed by an infusion of 18 µg/kg/hr.
