Abstract Background Intraoperative hemadsorption is indicated for ticagrelor and rivaroxaban removal in patients undergoing urgent cardiac surgery and has been previously shown to reduce bleeding complications. However, whether this application is cost effective is currently unknown. Methods Between June 2017 and June 2021, we evaluated the outcomes of 72 consecutive patients (age 65±11 years) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) pretreated with ticagrelor who underwent urgent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at our institution. Intraoperative hemoadsorption (IH) was used in all cases (IH-Pat). We estimated the mean cost per patient, and a bootstrap analysis was performed based on individual data from the case series. We compared the results with “historical patients” who were operated under the same conditions between June 2015 and June 2017 but without IH (n=22). Results Bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) was used in 67.7% of all cases. Use of IH was associated with significantly shorter operation times (277±65 min vs. 320±75 min; P=0.014) and significantly less postoperative 24-hours chest tube drainage (277±65 mL vs. 866±262 mL; P<0.001). Only two rethoracotomies (2.8%) had to be performed. In addition, patients operated without IH required significantly more blood products and had a significantly higher rate of rethoracotomy, resulting in longer ICU stays. The variable that had the highest impact on the level of cost savings was the operation duration. The overall cost saving with IH were calculated at over 4200±1100€ with operation time, ICU stay and blood product costs being the top contributors. Conclusions The results suggest that the clinical benefits derived from IH in ticagrelor-treated patients requiring urgent cardiac surgery patients could result in significant cost savings of over 4200±1100 € per patient.
