title: [A clinical experience of V-A bypass using a new antithrombotic coating material].
abstract: To perform V-A bypass with minimal systemically administered heparin, we used a equipment coated by fluorine-acryl-styrene-urethane-silicone graft copolymer. A 67 year old woman developed right heart failure after CABG was treated for 25 hours on V-A bypass without oxygenator by using this new antithrombotic coating material. During V-A bypass, hemodynamics were stable. Not coagulative nor hemolytic disorder was observed. And she did not suffer from thrombotic nor hemorrhagic complications. Scanning electron microscopy of coated equipment demonstrated only minor deposits on the surface, and morphologic study of platelet was almost normal. By using this new antithrombotic material it is possible to perform V-A bypass with minimal heparinization, thus avoiding the risk of major coagulation complications.
