(1) Background: Hemoadsorption is a method of blood purification with a wide spectrum of indications. Pre-emptive use of hemoadsorption in patients undergoing heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is considered to reduce the risk of postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The current study aimed to identify the spectrum of blood proteins adsorbed on the polymer matrix of the CytoSorb hemoadsorption system and to investigate their influence on cultured endothelial cells in vitro. (2) Methods: Adsorbers used for intraoperative hemoadsorption were obtained from patients undergoing on-pump valve surgery in acute endocarditis. Proteins were extracted from the adsorbers, purified, identified with mass-spectrometry and applied to cultured human aortic endothelial cells. (3) Results: A broad range of blood proteins were identified in the material eluted from the CytoSorb adsorber. When added to cultured ECs, these protein extracts caused severe reduction in cell viability and migration. After 24 h exposure, transcriptional changes with up-regulation of multiple metabolic regulators were observed and verified on the protein level. Genes responsible for control of mitosis were significantly down-regulated. (4) Conclusions: In summary, our data reveal that intraoperative hemoadsorption allows broad spectrum removal of a wide range of molecules eliciting endothelial damage.

Objective: Patients on direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are at high risk of perioperative bleeding complications. Intraoperative hemoadsorption is a novel strategy to reduce perioperative bleeding in patients on DOACs undergoing non-deferable cardiac surgery. The international STAR-registry reports real-world clinical outcomes associated with this application.

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) has a high mortality, and acute aortic repair is the only curative treatment. In patients treated with factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors, the risk of severe disease-related complications such as cardiac tamponade and hemodynamic shock must be balanced against the potential for severe perioperative bleeding. The aim was to study intraoperative changes in plasma levels of the FXa inhibitor apixaban when using hemoadsorption during acute thoracic aortic repair.

Background: It is unclear if immunomodulation via cytokine adsorption (CA) to reduce perioperative inflammatory cascade in cardiothoracic transplants is associated with better outcomes.

Objective: This pilot study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of intraoperative CA in heart/lung transplantation.

Methods: From July to October 2020, intraoperative CA was instituted in 11 patients who underwent heart/lung transplantation.

Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) candidates are at increased risk of immune dysregulation and infectious complications. To attenuate the elevated proinflammatory cytokine levels and associated adverse clinical outcomes, it has been postulated that extracorporeal blood purification could improve the overall survival rate and morbidity of patients undergoing LVAD implantation.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data of 15 patients who underwent LVAD implantation at our center between January 2021 and March 2022.

Introduction: Insufficient withdrawal duration of antithrombotics leads to excessive bleeding after major surgery. We hypothesize that intraoperative hemoadsorption (HA) can reduce postoperative allogeneic transfusion requirements and excessive bleeding events (EBE), without an increase in ischemic/thromboembolic events (ITE) in patients who have taken antithrombotics and undergone nonelective cardiac surgery.

Methods: A total of 460 patients admitted to our hospital from 2018 to 2022 were included in this study and divided into two groups: HA and non-HA.
