BACKGROUND.: Blood conservation remains an important element for patients undergoing
cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass. Preoperative platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
harvest is an autologous blood conservation method. The efficacy of preoperative PRP
harvest and post-cardiopulmonary bypass reinfusion on postoperative bleeding and need
for postoperative blood transfusion was evaluated in patients undergoing redo coronary
artery bypass grafting in a prospective, randomized manner. METHODS.: All adult patients …
