Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. isolated coronary artery disease, equally treatable with all three surgical techniques of the study
2. at least three graftable target coronary arteries

Exclusion criteria: 1. Emergency operation (unstable condition, inotropic support, operation < 12 hours after diagnosis)
2. Inborn or aquired bleeding/coagulation disorder (except antiplatelet medication)
3. Liver disease (reduced synthesis of clotting factors) or gatrointestinal disease with risk of bleeding
4. Left ventricular function < 35%
5. Age < 18 years, > 85 years
6. Preoperatively known specific anatomical conditions preventing a randomisation of surgical technique (e.g. porcelain aorta)


Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: 85 Years
Gender: All
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Chronic ischaemic heart disease, unspecified

I25.9
I25.9
Intervention(s)
Group 1: 40 patients are operated on with a classical heart-lung-machine (HLM) and scheduled for at least three distal anastomoses to the coronary arteries. Furthermore, patients are randomized for anticoagulation management. Anticoagulation by heparin is monitored in 20 patients by activated clotting time (ACT) and in 20 patients by an intermittend measurement of heparin conentration according to an individual initial dose response curve.
Group 2: 40 patients are operated on with a minimized heart-lung-machine (minimized extracorporeal circulation, MECC) and scheduled for at least three distal anastomoses to the coronary arteries. Furthermore, patients are randomized for anticoagulation management. Anticoagulation by heparin is monitored in 20 patients by activated clotting time (ACT) and in 20 patients by an intermittend measurement of heparin conentration according to an individual initial dose response curve.
Group 3: 40 patients are operated on without the help of a heart-lung-machine (OPCAB) and scheduled for at least three distal anastomoses to the coronary arteries. Furthermore, patients are randomized for anticoagulation management. Anticoagulation by heparin is monitored in 20 patients by activated clotting time (ACT) and in 20 patients by an intermittend measurement of heparin conentration according to an individual initial dose response curve.
Primary Outcome(s)
total heparin and protamine dose during operation
Secondary Outcome(s)
clinical relevant parameters (postoperative drainage blood loss, usage of blood/blood products), markers of coagulation system (PTT, INR, platelets, coagulation factors I, II, V, VIII, X, ATIII, TAT, TFPI, PTF1.2, d-dimer), of the renal system (crea, urea, eGFR, KIM I, NGAL, alphaGST, L-FABP), and of the inflammation system (CRP, leuco, TNFalpha, Pselectin, ICAM1) are measured and compared.
