We investigated the alterations in the coagulation and fibrinolysis systems after aortic aneurysm surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) while using newly developed "molecular markers". Fibrinogen and antithrombin III (AT-III) decreased after surgery but returned to normal values within three days. The thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) and plasmin-alpha-2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC) both showed increased values even preoperatively, which indicated that coagulation and fibrinolysis were activated in some patients with an aortic aneurysm. Both markers maintained a high level for at least 14 days after surgery. The fibrin degradation product (FDP) also showed an increased value before and after surgery. These results apparently showed that coagulation/fibrinolysis had already been activated in some patients and maintained such a state for at least 14 days after surgery. The relation of activated system and postoperative organ dysfunction as well as the means to suppress such activation are also discussed.
