The deficiency of platelet function is the main defect of hemostatic mechanism during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which attributed to the postoperative bleeding complication to a great extent. The proteinase inhibitor aprotinin was reported to have preserving effect on platelet adhesion during CPB. In this clinical reserch we found that CPB caused plasma alpha 2-antiplasmin decreasing, indicating the fibrinolytic system activation. Meanwhile, the ristocetin-induced aggregation declined to 39.6% and platelet GPIb decreased to 50% of preoperative value. However, by treatment with aprotinin, the plasma alpha 2-antiplasmin during CPB did not change, platelet aggregation was improved and platelet GPIb was preserved, and consequently resulted in a 46% lower blood loss postoperatively. These results confirmed that aprotinin could inhibit the fibrinolysis during CPB, and thus relieve the platelet damage and improve the postoperative hemostatic mechanism.
