The FIBRES study reported a 2.6% higher thromboembolism rate in patients who received cryoprecipitate at 9.6% compared to 7.0% in patients who received fibrinogen concentrate (Table 1); however, this difference was not statistically different.24, Another randomized controlled trial, which included patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei and cytoreductive surgery, found a higher incidence of thromboembolic events in the cryoprecipitate group at 30.4% (7 of 23) compared to 0% (0 of 22) in the fibrinogen concentrate group.44 In a recent systematic review of randomized controlled trials examining fibrinogen concentrate, the authors concluded that the overall risk of thromboembolism is probably extremely low, and no studies reported a significantly increased risk of thromboembolism in patients receiving fibrinogen concentrate.20, Despite the findings of the FIBRES study, cryoprecipitate may be superior in some cardiac surgical patients.24 In the FIBRES study, the median CPB duration was 130140 minutes, but the CPB duration is often longer in complex aortic surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest or in the other combined cardiac surgery procedures. Ten to 15% of the United States blood supply is transfused in cardiac surgical patients.1 Multiple factors including fibrinogen concentration impact bleeding and transfusion risk in cardiac surgical patients.24 About 15 years ago, most European countries removed cryoprecipitate from their markets and began to use fibrinogen concentrate for the treatment of acquired hypofibrinogenemia, mainly because of its superior safety profile. endobj <> Efficacy of fibrinogen concentrate in major abdominal surgerya prospective, randomized, controlled study in cytoreductive surgery for pseudomyxoma peritonei.

FFP can be thawed in a water bath or a refrigerator, and plasma supernatant is separated from precipitate using centrifugation.13 Plasma supernatant is discarded except for a small volume (1015 mL), which is kept to suspend the cryoprecipitate.13 Multiple single donor units of cryoprecipitate (typically 5 or 6 units) are combined into a single pooled unit using sterile welding. Pooled cryoprecipitate is refrozen and stored at a temperature <18 C for 1 year. A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of fibrinogen concentrate in the cardiac surgical patients suggested that the fibrinogen concentrate decreases RBC transfusion (relative risk [RR] = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.49-0.83), but there was no reduction in other transfusions (eg, platelets and plasma), and there was no reduction in the reoperations for bleeding.49 Taken together, the current evidence supporting the routine use of fibrinogen concentrate in the cardiac surgical patients is not particularly strong, even when the treatment is based on the whole blood viscoelastic coagulation testing.
