Aortic Dissection, CABG, Valvular Heart Diseases

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the CA330 cytokine adsorption column can reduce perioperative severe bleeding adverse events in patients receiving anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy who undergo non-elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the use of the CA330 cytokine adsorption column lower the incidence of perioperative severe bleeding compared with standard care? * Does the intervention improve short-term clinical outcomes, such as transfusion requirements, reoperation rates for bleeding, or overall postoperative recovery? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare patients treated with the CA330 cytokine adsorption column versus patients receiving standard cardiopulmonary bypass management to see if cytokine adsorption provides additional safety and efficacy benefits. Participants will: * Undergo non-elective cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. * Be randomly assigned to receive either the CA330 cytokine adsorption column integrated into the CPB circuit (intervention arm) or standard CPB management without the device (control arm). * Be monitored for perioperative bleeding outcomes, transfusion needs, reoperation rates, and overall postoperative prognosis.

I. Study Background Anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents reduce the risk of thrombosis by inhibiting platelet aggregation or coagulation factor activity, but they significantly increase the risk of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding. In urgent or emergency surgery, patients may be unable to discontinue anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy in time, leading to markedly higher rates of bleeding complications during and after surgery. This presents major challenges for perioperative management and seriously affects patient outcomes. The CA330 cytokine adsorption column is a novel hemoperfusion device that removes specific substances from the blood via adsorption during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of CA330 in reducing perioperative severe bleeding adverse events during non-elective cardiac surgery under CPB in patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy. The ultimate goal is to provide a safer and more effective surgical strategy, improve patient prognosis, and generate high-level evidence for clinical practice. II. Study Objectives 1. Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of CA330 in reducing perioperative severe bleeding adverse events during non-elective cardiac surgery with CPB in patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy, thereby providing a safer and more effective surgical strategy. 2. Secondary Objectives: By comparing perioperative outcomes and drug concentration monitoring between the intervention and control groups, to clarify the clearance efficiency of CA330 for different drugs during non-elective cardiac surgery with CPB, and to provide valuable guidance for clinical practice. III. Study Protocol 1. Enrollment and Randomization: Eligible patients will be enrolled, randomized 1:1 into the intervention and control groups, provide written informed consent, and have baseline preoperative data collected. 2. Intervention and Procedures: * Standard anesthesia and surgical procedures will be applied. * CPB will be established using standardized management protocols based on guidelines and expert consensus. * In the intervention group, CA330 will be integrated into the CPB circuit; the control group will receive standard CPB management without the device. * Drug concentrations will be measured at: * T0: end of anesthesia induction * T1: initiation of CPB * T2: 30 min after CPB * T3: 60 min after CPB * T4: 120 min after CPB * T5: before weaning from CPB * T6: after protamine administration * Coagulation profile (five-item coagulation test) will be measured preoperatively and within 24h post-ICU admission. * Blood gas analysis will be performed at T0, T2, T5, and T6. 3. Outcome Measures: * Primary Endpoint: Incidence of BARC (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) type 4 bleeding. * Secondary Endpoints: * Perioperative transfusion rate and volume of allogeneic blood products * Duration of mechanical ventilation * ICU length of stay * Total hospital length of stay * Hospital costs * Incidence of severe perioperative complications, including acute renal failure, severe hepatic dysfunction, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and thromboembolic events. 4. Statistical Analysis: Comparative analyses will be performed between groups to assess differences in perioperative and follow-up outcomes, thereby determining the safety and efficacy of CA330 in non-elective cardiac surgery with CPB among patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy, and to guide optimal clinical management. 5. Sample Size: A total of 120 patients are planned for enrollment. After enrollment of the first 60 patients, an interim analysis will be conducted based on observed endpoint outcomes to re-estimate sample size. The final sample size will not exceed 200 patients.
