- Primary Efficacy Endpoint assessed from the time the mediastinal and pleural chest tubes are inserted at the end of operation until the drain tubes are removed or 24 hours after chest tube insertion [ Time Frame: From the time the mediastinal and pleural chest tubes are inserted at the end of operation until the drain tubes are removed or 24 hours after chest tube insertion, whichever is earlier ]Total volume of chest tube drainage assessed by measurement of the volume of blood collected from the mediastinal and pleural drains inserted at the end of the operation until the time the drain tubes are removed or 24 hours after chest tube insertion, whichever is earlier.
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint assessed from the time the mediastinal and pleural chest tubes are inserted at the end of operation until the drain tubes are removed or 24 hours after chest tube insertion [ Time Frame: From the time the mediastinal and pleural chest tubes are inserted at the end of operation until the drain tubes are removed or 24 hours after chest tube insertion, whichever is earlier ]The primary endpoint given in mL/kg
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint assessed at 6 hours interval through 24 hours after chest tube insertion or when the chest tubes are removed [ Time Frame: 6 hours intervals through 24 hours after chest tubes insertion or when chest tubes are removed, whichever is earlier ]Chest tube drainage volume (mL) collected at 6 hours intervals through 24 hours after chest tube insertion or tube removal, whichever is earlier.
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint at 6 hours intervals through 24 hours after chest tube insertion or when chest tubes are removed [ Time Frame: 6 hours intervals through 24 hours after chest tube insertion or when chest tubes are removed, whichever is earlier ]Drainage rate (mL/hr) collected at 6 hours intervals through 24 hours after chest tube insertion or when chest tube are removed, whichever is earlier.
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint assessed at the end of first study platelet transfusion through 24-hour post heparin reversal (Efficacy follow-up period) [ Time Frame: Infused after the end of the first study platelet transfusion through 24-hour post heparin reversal (Efficacy follow-up period) ]Total units by type of other post-operative blood products (pRBC, non-study platelets, CRYO, plasma, clotting factor concentrates) infused after the end of the first study platelet transfusion until end of the efficacy follow-up period
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint assessed within 24 hour post heparin reversal (Efficacy follow-up period) [ Time Frame: Within the 24 hour period after heparin reversal ]Incidence of surgical re-exploration and incidence of verified surgical or other causes for bleeding within the 24 hour period after heparin reversal
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint assessed from protamine administration to the time of first suture for incision closure on Day 1 (Day of Surgery) [ Time Frame: Time from protamine administration to the time when the surgeon initiates the first suture for incision closure, Day 1 (Day of operation) ]Time to hemostasis (defined as the time from protamine administration to the time when the surgeon initiates the first suture for incision closure
- Secondary Efficacy Endpoint assessed at the first study platelet transfusion through 24-hour post heparin reversal (Efficacy follow-up period) [ Time Frame: Time of first study platelet transfusion through 24-hour post heparin reversal (Efficacy follow-up period) ]Treatment failure (defined as requiring more than three units of LSP)

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female, at least 18 years of age
-
Undergoing CPB surgery with at least one risk factor for post-surgical bleeding including:
- All re-operative cardiac procedures.
- Expected bypass > 120 minutes.
- Any combined cardiac surgery procedures (e.g. multiple valve, valve/CABG).
- Any intrathoracic procedure (with bypass) confined to the chest, except those specifically excluded.
- Ability to comprehend and willingness to sign informed consent.
- If female of childbearing potential, have a negative pregnancy test on the day of the surgery and prior to the surgery agrees to use a method of highly effective birth control from the time of consent through the end of the safety follow-up period (Day 6 or discharge from hospital, whichever is earlier). Note: women must have been surgically sterilized [bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, total hysterectomy) or postmenopausal (≥50 years of age and continuous amenorrhea for 24 months) to be considered non-childbearing potential.
