13. Results:
No removal of albumin
No serious adverse events
80% lower expression of PCT
No influence on perioperative course

14. Preventive vs Therapeutic
CYTOSORB THERAPY IN CARDIAC SURGERY
Intraoperative Postoperative
Intraoperative PostopertiveOR
COMBINED
30. Cytosorb therapy is beneficial
Surgical outcome reducing sepsis or sepsis related deaths
Studies retrospective and small
First beneficial hints in endocarditis
No device-related SAEs
Further investigation / larger RCTs needed

31. Revealing mechanisms and investigating efficacy of hemoadsorption for
prevention of vasodilatory shock in cardiac surgery patients with infective
endocarditis – a multicentric randomized controlled trial

32. Should we continue post op use of
cytosorb ?

33. Retrospective case series
20 patients with endocarditis (aortic/mitral valve)
10 - intraoperative use v/s 10 - intra and postoperative use
Indications for continuing post operative cytosorb therapy i,e 2nd group is
sicker !
• Higher Risk Evaluation score,
• Longer cardiopulmonary bypass times
• Worse inflammatory status, and
• Perioperative worsening of renal function or liver function
CYTOSORB THERAPY IN CARDIAC SURGERY
35. CYTOSORB THERAPY IN CARDIAC SURGERY
Intraoperative plus postoperative group showed an equal intensive
care unit and 90-day survival compared to patients treated only
intraoperatively
36. Both groups had marked decrease need for vasopressors and
inflammatory markers
Beneficial in patients with endocarditis who develop
perioperative organ dysfunction.
Renal failure
Severe hemodynamic instability
High ionotropes score
CYTOSORB THERAPY IN CARDIAC SURGERY
44. • 16 patients
• Inflammatory responses were same in control and study group
• reduced vasopressor demand
• decreased renal replacement therapy
• less mechanical ventilation and ICU stay
• No adverse events

CLINICAL JUDGEMENT
NOT INDICATED
56. Routine cardiac surgical procedures do not indicate use of Cytosorb
Patients with exaggerated inflammation should be identified
Modality of use – THERAPEUTIC/ PREVENTIVE,
INTRAOPERATIVE/
INTRA + POSTOPERATIVE
EUROSCORE > 4 , CYTOSORB to be considered
Need further studies with more subjects.
Can we use for preoperative stabilisation?
Cost has to be considered v/s the clinical benefits
