5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether the administration of ATIII during the intra-operative period results in improved anticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and an attenuation of the activation of the coagulation cascade, as represented by a decrease in fibrin degradation products. The investigators believe this benefit would extend into the post-operative period resulting in a decreased incidence of thrombosis generation, as represented by a decrease in fibrin degradation products in the ICU period.
Detailed Description
If Preoperative ATIII functional assay level is less than 70% patients would be enrolled and randomized to either Placebo (normal saline) or ATIII.
