Participant Flow

Patients were randomized by the research perfusionist using sequentially ordered randomization codes. The randomization codes were generated using a computerized random number generator. The entire care team was blinded to the delivery device and drug delivery. Only the study perfusionist was aware of randomization and delivery.

Seventeen patients consented and were enrolled in the study. There were eight consent failures. One patient was disqualified after consent and randomization due to intraoperative findings of a lesion inconsistent with preoperative diagnosis and change in operative plan.

Measure
1 Treatment
Patients will receive standard care with the addition of NO gas. During cardiopulmonary bypass, NO at 20 ppm will be added to the sweep gas of the extracorporeal circuit. Following termination of cardiopulmonary bypass, inhaled NO will be discontinued. Nitric Oxide : Patients will receive standard care with the addition of NO gas. During cardiopulmonary bypass, NO at 20 ppm will be added to the sweep gas of the extracorporeal circuit. Following termination of cardiopulmonary bypass, inhaled NO will be discontinued.
