Abstract Cardiac surgery in Stockholm grew on a sound foundation of well‐developed general thoracic surgery. The portal figure is Clarence Crafoord (1899–1983) who already in 1927 had succeeded with the Trendelenburg pulmonary embolectomy operation. He went on to develop lung surgery in general. With foresight he stimulated the chemists of Karolinska Institute to purify heparin, first for prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism and later for use with the heart‐lung machine. In 1944 he…

Complications were relatively frequent in this cohort of patients and had a linear association with hospital length of stay and major adverse cardiac events were encountered at a modest prevalence but had a profound impact on measures of outcome.
Platelet Inhibition and Bleeding Complications in Cardiac Surgery Patients - Clinical and experimental studies

DAPT with ticagrelor allows shorter discontinuation time before surgery than clopidogrel, and timing of surgery may be aided by platelet function testing, and the role of platelet inhibition in patients operated for acute aortic dissection was examined.

The results suggest that transfusion with fibrinogen or platelets improve hemostasis, whereas factor XIII should remain a secondary tool in the treatment of perioperative bleeding.
