Currently we have to either delay surgery until the effects of the antithrombotic agent wear off, or if the patient cannot wait due to the urgency of their condition, proceed with the elevated bleeding risk. The STAR-T study will evaluate whether intraoperative removal of ticagrelor with DrugSorb-ATR can safely reduce bleeding complications. We designed the STAR-T trial with the rigor of a randomized controlled trial to generate the highest level of evidence to determine outcomes that will hopefully benefit every heart center worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>C. <span class=\"xn-person\">Michael Gibson<\/span>, MD, Professor of Medicine, <span class=\"xn-org\">Harvard Medical School<\/span> and President and Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit Baim Institute (formerly Harvard Clinical Research Institute) and also Principal Co-Investigator of STAR-T, stated, &#8220;The continuing worldwide growth in the use of antithrombotic medications and the numbers of patients who require surgery and are at risk of bleeding while on them, continues to rise.\u00a0 DrugSorb-ATR is a novel, easy-to-implement potential solution to this major clinical problem.\u00a0 Evidence from real-world use of this technology in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> to remove antithrombotic drugs during cardiac surgery suggests significant benefits to patients due to reductions in perioperative bleeding with substantial cost savings to hospitals.\u00a0 Should these same results be confirmed in the STAR-T randomized controlled trial, then DrugSorb-ATR could become the new global standard of care for these challenging patients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 2020<\/span>, the FDA granted CytoSorbents <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3218152-1&amp;h=2161914167&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prnewswire.com%2Fnews-releases%2Fdevelopment-update-us-fda-grants-breakthrough-designation-to-cytosorb-for-removal-of-ticagrelor-during-cardiopulmonary-bypass-in-emergent-and-urgent-cardiothoracic-surgery-301043326.html&amp;a=Breakthrough+Device+Designation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Breakthrough Device Designation<\/a> to remove ticagrelor during cardiothoracic surgery, recognizing this major unmet medical need.\u00a0 Each year, ticagrelor is prescribed to millions of cardiovascular patients worldwide to reduce the risk of recurrent heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death. \u00a0Ticagrelor is frequently preferred as first-line therapy in patients presenting to hospitals with an acute coronary syndrome in preparation of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent placement.\u00a0 However, up to 10% of these patients will require coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) open heart surgery.
