Trial Outcomes & Findings for RiaSTAP vs. Conventional Transfusion in Patients Having Heart Valve Surgery (NCT NCT01283321)

NCT ID: NCT01283321

Last Updated: 2018-06-21

Results Overview

Bleeding scores are scored on a four-point scale. A visual assessment of surgical field was performed by the senior surgical staff as follows: 0 = excellent hemostasis (dry field), 1 = mild bleeding (oozing), 2 = moderate bleeding (controllable with applied pressure), and 3 = severe bleeding (multiple diffuse bleeding sites). If the visual bleeding scale was 2 to 3, the subjects were randomly assigned to a study intervention using a closed envelope method.

Participant Flow

Enrollment started in February 2011 and the study was completed in May 2012. Subjects were recruited from Emory University. Fifty-one patients were approached after initial screening for eligibility, and 26 patients were consented.

Two subjects were excluded due to a change in surgical plans. Two subjects had low bleeding scores and were excluded.One subject had screening labs that were out of range for the study. One subject was treated using Dabigatran treatment. Total of six subjects that were excluded prior to randomization.
