Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of participants with reduced bleeding, transfusion requirements and need of reintervention for bleeding as a measure of efficacy. [ Time Frame: until 5 days after surgey ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of participants with infection as a measure of safety. [ Time Frame: until 5 days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Number of participants with delirium as a measure of safety. [ Time Frame: until 5 days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Number of participants with wound complication as a measure of safety. [ Time Frame: until 5 days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Number of participants with multi organ failure as a measure of safety. [ Time Frame: until 5 days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
