Study Summary

The goal of this proposal is to prospectively collect data from a series of 200 patients (all ages) undergoing complex cardiac surgical procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to: 1. Measure the number of blood activated circulating monocytes before, during and after cardiac surgery and serum GABA and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels 2. Understand the correlation between GABA and inflammatory cytokines (and/or activated monocytes) and 3. Assess the correlation between thrombosis and monocyte activation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under CPB and at risk of thrombosis.

Primary Outcome

characterization of monocyte activation status at baseline before surgery and throughout the course of CPB including post-operatively.
