Objective  To identify the risk factors for coagulopathy after Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) repair to offer evidence for improvement of patients' prognosis. Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 95 patients undergoing Stanford type A AAD repair in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between January 2013 and December 2014. Patients with thromboelastography-coagulation index (TEG-CI) ≤–3 after surgery were allocated to a coagulopathy group (n=17, average age 48.70 years), whereas patients with TEG-CI >–3 after surgery were allocated to a control group ( n=78, average age 46.80 years). Multivariate analysis was used to identify risk factors for coagulopathy after surgery. Results  Seventeen patients suffered from coagulopathy after surgery. Patients in the coagulopathy group had larger amount of fluid drainage than that in the control group (P=0.008). Risk factors for postoperative coagulopathy were activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) at the end of surgery ( OR=0.011, 95% confidence interval 0.001 to 0.021, P=0.035), fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) at the end of surgery (OR=0.004, 95% confidence interval 0.001 to 0.007, P=0.022) and platelet count (×109/L) at the end of surgery (OR=–0.002, 95% confidence interval –0.003 to 0.000, P=0.049). The lower risk of postoperative coagulopathy was related to the platelet count at the end of surgery up to 137.00 ×109/L. Conclusion  Postoperative coagulopathy could be related to the clinical and experimental variables. In a representative sample of Chinese adults undergoing Stanford type A AAD surgery, APTT, FDP and platelet count at the end of surgery are independent risk factors associated with postoperative coagulopathy. Adding haemostatic, such as fibrinogen and prothrombinase complex, is good for improving the recovery of coagulation function to reduce bleeding and postoperative blood transfusion, as well as adding platelet, plasma and other coagulation factors after AAD surgery.
