- W2000963451 abstract "Cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with postoperative organ injury, which severely affects patient morbidity and mortality. Multiple cardiopulmonary bypass–related mechanisms have been linked to the development of tissue damage, including hypoperfusion, ischemia–reperfusion, and induction of a proinflammatory response. Hemolysis, resulting in increased plasma free hemoglobin concentrations, is generally considered an inevitable but relatively harmless side effect of cardiopulmonary bypass. Recently, however, evidence has been mounting that plasma free hemoglobin scavenges intravascular nitric oxide, thereby attenuating its bioavailability. Any significant reduction in nitric oxide, the most important endogenous vasodilator, impairs tissue perfusion and induces organ injury development. Moreover, urinary free hemoglobin contributes to renal damage, specifically by catalysis of reactive oxygen species formation. In this review, the effects of increased free hemoglobin levels on nitric oxide metabolism are discussed. In addition, we review the role of free hemoglobin in organ injury development, potential sources of free hemoglobin during cardiovascular surgery, and therapeutic options to attenuate the consequences of hemolysis. We propose that hemolysis is more than an innocent bystander effect of cardiopulmonary bypass–assisted surgery. Therapeutic interventions to attenuate the effects of hemolysis seem crucial in the reduction of postoperative morbidity and mortality after cardiovascular surgery. Cardiovascular surgery with extracorporeal circulation is associated with considerable postoperative morbidity and mortality, especially among patients undergoing complex procedures such as combined coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve surgery, Bentall procedures, and open repair of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. These patients are at high risk for development of such major complications as acute kidney injury,1Andersson L.G. Ekroth R. Bratteby L.E. Hallhagen S. Wesslén O.

To reduce CPB-related morbidity and mortality, successful efforts have been made to increase CPB biocompatibility and flow performance.

Hemolysis is principally caused by mechanical shear stress within the perfusion circuit and results in the release of hemoglobin into the circulation.22Fransen E.J. Ganushchak Y.M.

We therefore propose that hemolysis is an important but as yet generally unrecognized contributor to the development of organ injury during surgical procedures associated with hemolysis, such as cardiovascular surgery. The interfering role of fHb in intravascular nitric oxide (NO) metabolism is believed to play a critical role in the development of microcirculatory impairment, organ damage, and organ dysfunction.24Reiter C.D. Wang X. Tanus-Santos J.E. Hogg N. Cannon 3rd, R.O. Schechter A.N. et al.Cell-free hemoglobin limits nitric oxide bioavailability in sickle-cell disease.Nat Med. 2002; 8: 1383-1389Crossref PubMed Scopus (938) Google Scholar In this review we will therefore discuss (1) the effects of fHb on intravascular NO bioavailability, (2) the role of fHb in the induction of microcirculatory dysfunction and organ damage, (3) the potential sources of fHb during cardiovascular surgery, and (4) therapeutic options to attenuate the consequences of hemolysis during CPB-assisted surgery. On the intravascular destruction of red blood cells (RBCs), fHb enters the circulation. This fHb either gets bound to haptoglobin or is oxidized to methemoglobin. The hemoglobin–haptoglobin complex is rapidly cleared from the circulation through endocytosis by the surface scavenger receptor CD163, which is expressed on monocytes and tissue macrophages. In this way haptoglobin prevents accumulation of plasma fHb under physiologic circumstances.29Rother R.P. Bell L. Hillmen P. Gladwin M.T. The clinical sequelae of intravascular hemolysis and extracellular plasma hemoglobin: a novel mechanism of human disease.JAMA. 2005; 293: 1653-1662Crossref PubMed Scopus (1050) Google Scholar This effect was illustrated in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in whom intravenous administration of haptoglobin significantly reduced circulating fHb levels.30Tanaka K.

Yada I. et al.Administration of haptoglobin during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.ASAIO Trans. 1991; 37: M482-M483PubMed Google Scholar Free heme, another byproduct of hemolysis, is released during oxidation of free hemoglobin and is scavenged by circulating hemopexin. Subsequently, heme oxygenase (HO)-1, activated as a result of reduced microcirculation, degrades heme to carbon monoxide (CO), biliverdin, and iron, mainly in the liver and spleen.31Maines M.D. The heme oxygenase system: a regulator of second messenger gases.Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol. 1997; 37: 517-554Crossref PubMed Scopus (2133) Google Scholar This cytoprotective induction of HO-1 by the microvasculature has been shown to modulate inflammation in patients after cardiac surgery with CPB, which may benefit patient recovery postoperatively32Philippidis P.

This results in enhanced levels of fHb and free heme, both harmful products. First of all, free heme is able to react with endogenous hydrogen peroxide, thereby forming toxic free radicals that are involved in the induction of prooxidant damage.34Kristiansen M. Graversen J.H.

The fast (6–8 × 107 mol/[L · s]) and irreversible reaction of oxygenated fHb with NO results in conversion of fHb to methemoglobin and conversion of NO to nitrate. Circulating fHb is also present in a deoxygenated form. Such deoxygenated fHb also scavenges NO, forming nitrosyl hemoglobin, but this reaction is both slower (107 mol/[L · s]) and reversible.24Reiter C.D. Wang X. Tanus-Santos J.E. Hogg N.

Sachdev V. et al.Dysregulated arginine metabolism, hemolysis-associated pulmonary hypertension, and mortality in sickle cell disease.JAMA. 2005; 294: 81-90Crossref PubMed Scopus (509) Google Scholar In this way, hemolysis not only causes scavenging of NO but also theoretically prevents new NO formation. In practice, however, we have shown that arginase 1 release during surgery with CPB does not affect the arginine to ornithine ratio (unpublished data). This implies that arginase levels during this type of surgery are not high enough to affect arginine levels and thus attenuate NO synthesis.38van de Poll M.C. Hanssen S.J. Berbée M. Deutz N.E.

At that time, only the kidney was believed to be at risk for fHb-induced damage. Two mechanisms were proposed to underlie the association between hemolysis and renal tissue damage development. First, urinary fHb–derived free iron and heme catalyze the generation of reactive oxygen species, which damage the renal tubular epithelium.40Zager R.A. Gamelin L.M.

In addition to direct RBC lysis, the CPB system induces sublethal RBC injury.49Kameneva M.V. Undar A. An" @default.
