Change in Platelet Lipid Metabolism and Procoagulant Phenotype Induced by Cardiopulmonary Bypass. Impact on Postoperative Inflammatory Response and Bleeding Complications During Cardiac Surgery. (PLACARD)

2 juni 2026 bijgewerkt door: Université Catholique de Louvain
The PLACARD research project aims to investigate the impact of CPB-induced platelet modifications during cardiac surgery on the post-operative inflammatory response and bleeding complications. Our objectives are to study the impact of CPB on the formation of procoagulant platelets, to assess changes in platelet lipid profile and bioenergetics before, during and after cardiac surgery, and to connect the ex-vivo observations to post-operative clinical and biological parameters of these patients during their stay in cardiovascular intensive care unit.

Studie Overzicht

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Cardiac surgery remains associated with high morbidity and mortality despite improvements in peri and post-operative care. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) triggers a sterile inflammatory response, characterized by vascular hyperpermeability, excessive vasodilation, and cardiac arrythmias, i.e. atrial fibrillation. In parallel, major peri-operative bleeding frequently necessitates transfusion of allogeneic blood products. The pathophysiology underlying these complications is multifactorial. Direct contact of blood with the CPB tubing system, combined with ischemia-reperfusion injury, profoundly alters both the inflammatory and haemostatic systems. Among blood components, platelets are particularly vulnerable to CPB-induced alterations. Platelet dysfunction is widely recognized as the main haemostatic defect associated with CPB and a major contributor to post-operative bleeding. Recent findings have demonstrated that platelet lipid metabolism plays a key role in regulating thrombo-inflammatory responses in sepsis. These observations raise the hypothesis that CPB-induced alterations in platelet lipid metabolism may critically modulate the balance between inflammation and haemostasis in cardiac surgery.

The PLACARD project therefore aims to investigate how CPB-induced platelet modifications influence post-operative inflammatory responses and bleeding complications.

Specific objectives:

  1. Characterize the impact of CPB on the formation of procoagulant platelets.
  2. Assess changes in platelet lipid composition and bioenergetics before, during and after cardiac surgery.
  3. Correlate ex-vivo platelet alterations with post-operative clinical outcomes and biological markers during the stay in the cardiovascular intensive care unit.

This project addresses a critical unmet need in cardiac surgery: understanding the mechanistic link between CPB-induced platelet dysfunction and thrombo-inflammatory complications. By focusing on platelet lipid metabolism, a pathway largely unexplored in this context, the project moves beyond traditional platelet function assays. The results are expected to provide fundamental mechanistic insights into procoagulant platelet formation during CPB and may identify novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets to reduce bleeding and inflammatory complications in high-risk surgical patients.
