Cytosorb adsorption during emergency cardiac operations in patients at high risk of bleeding

ConclusionsThe intra-operative use of Cytosorb adsorption of Ticagrelor and Rivaroxaban in emergency open-heart operations is reported for the first time. The data show that the strategy is safe and an effective method to reduce bleeding complications. We recommend the use for safety in patients with Ticagrelor or Rivaroxaban undergoing emergency cardiac surgery.Graphical abstract
