Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma on Intraoperative Transfusion and Short-Term Outcomes in Total Arch Replacement (Sun's Procedure): A Prospective, Randomized Trial.
To observe the effect of collecting and retransfusing autologous platelet rich plasma (aPRP) on the amount of allogeneic blood usage in total arch replacement (Sun's surgery) and the outcomes 30 days after surgery. ⋯ In total arch replacement (Sun's surgery), collecting and retransfusing aPRP reduced intraoperative transfusions of erythrocyte, plasma, and cryoprecipitate and decreased the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation and hospitalization. This technique had no significant effect on the incidence of complications and mortality 30 days postoperatively.
