Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation
Kyriakos Anastasiadis, Polychronis Antonitsis, Helena Argiriadou and
Apostolos Deliopoulos
Minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC)
is a recent development in perfusion science.
MiECC’s unique characteristics include advances
such as closed circuits with elimination of blood-air
interaction, reduced hemodilution, biocompatible
surfaces, and lack of scavenging and reinfusion of
unprocessed shed blood. Contemporary hybrid
(modular) systems allow perfusionists to safely
employ MiECC in the full spectrum of cardiac sur-
gery. MiECC provides the base for developing a mul-
tidisciplinary intraoperative strategy which
encompasses a surgeon’s particular technique and
goal-directed perfusion, as well as modified heparin/
protamine management. Proponents of MiECC are
convinced that it will ultimately replace conventional
CPB and become standard practice in cardiac surgery
once the potential clinical benefits have been widely
accepted. As with traditional extracorporeal circula-
ton (ECC) techniques, MiECC requires close collab-
oration of surgical, anesthesiology and perfusion
colleagues for optimal outcome.
The Evolution of Minimal Invasive
Extracorporeal Circulation
MiECC has its roots in Extracorporeal Life Support
(ECLS), where a single circui t with low systemic
inflammation, low hemodilution, and enhanced bio-
compatibility to reduce anticoagulation is required.
The successful use of such systems opened a new era
in short-term mechanical circulatory support.
Subsequently, during the mid-90s multidisciplinary
teams developed minimally invasive CPB systems
for coronary surgery. These first systems comprised
of short arterio-venous lines without cardiotomy res-
ervoir in order to reduce hemodilution and transfu-
sion requirements. Kinetic venous drainage with
integration of a centrifugal pump allowed for a com-
pact closed circuit that could be installed close to the
patient’s chest. In order to improve biocompatibility,
to reduce injury to blood cells and to minimize
expression of inflammatory mediators, all lines and
oxygenator were coated with heparin, while priming
volume was reduced to a minimum. Shed blood from
the surgical field was collected, washed and transfused
with a cell salvage device, avoiding the adverse effects
of recirculating unprocessed shed blood from the
operating field into the CPB circuit.
The last two decades have witnessed numerous
additional advancements in MiECC technology along
with encouraging clinical results. This evolution led to
the foundation of the multidisciplinary Minimal
Invasive Extracorporeal Technologies International
Society (MiECTiS) in order to promote research,
clinical use and standards to further develop minim-
ally invasive perfusion. MiECTiS advocates a multi-
disciplinary strategy invol ving surgery, anesthesiology
and perfusion to promote maximum benefit from this
technology.
The term MiECC has replaced all other descriptive
terminology previously used for minimal extracor-
poreal circulation circuits, such as: miniaturized
extracorporeal circulation (MECC), mini extracor-
poreal circulation (mECC), minimized extracorporeal
circulation or mini cardiopulmonary bypass (mCPB,
mini-CPB).
Table 8.1 summarizes the mandatory and add-
itional components of a contemporary MiECC
circuit.
Classification of MiECC systems
MiECTiS has adopted a classification of MiECC
systems that reflects how they have evolved over the
last decade. Figure 8.1 illustrates a Type III / IV
circuit, which is the type most commonly used today.
Type I
systems are derived from ECLS circuits
with the addition of a line to administer
cardioplegia. These systems are suitable for
performing closed-heart surgeries. Soon after

their introduction significant safety concerns
emerged: there was a risk of air entrainment and
air lock, requiring stopping the pump and
manually de-airing the circuit.
Type II
circuits addressed the air entrainment
issue seen with Type I systems by integrating a
venous bubble trap or air removal system.
Type III
systems were driven by the desire to use
MiECC technology for open-chamber heart
surgery, such as valve replacement. The addition
of a soft-bag or soft-shell reservoir allows for the
management of the circulatory volume during
CPB, which is particularly important in patients
with preoperative volume overload, such as in
aortic or mitral insufficiency.
Type IV
are modular, hybrid systems which
integrate a heparinized venous reservoir as a
standby component, readily available for
conversion to an open, conventional CPB system.
This configuration allows the use of MiECC in the
full spectrum of cardiac surgery including

complex patients and procedures, as any
unexpected perfusion scenarios, such as massive
air entry to the venous side of the circuit or
accidental excessive blood loss to the
mediastinum, can be managed by an easy switch
to standard CPB.
The Team Approach to MiECC
It is of utmost importance that all members of the
team not only comprehend perfusion technology, but
that they understand the unique characteristics of
MiECC, particularly what it can and what it cannot
deliver. Continuous excellent communication with
the perfusionist is of utmost importance, particularly
during critical moments, such as during retrograde
priming of the circuit with patient blood via the aortic
cannula (retrograde autologous prime [RAP]), when
securing the vent for the cardioplegia line or when
removing a vent, in order to avoid accidental air
entrainment into the system.
Surgeon’s perspective
Firstly, the surgeon must appreciate that when oper-
ating on MiECC shed blood does not recirculate into
the bypass circuit and is not available for the circulat-
ing volume. Meticulous operative technique is man-
datory and special attention must be paid to avoiding
blood loss, not dissimilar to requirements of beating-
heart surgery.
Secondly, all cannulation sites must be secured in
a way that provides an airtight seal. The venous can-
nula is commonly secured with two purse-string
sutures and two silk ties; some surgeons arm the
purse strings with Teflon pledgets, particularly when
the right atrial appendage is of poor quality tissue.
Some advocate double-snaring the inferior and super-
ior vena cava cannulae during mitral valve surgery to
mitigate against air entrainment. Any manipulations
of the heart must be done very carefully in order not
to displace the venous cannula(e). Lines are connected
with due diligence to avoid introducing air. Accurate
positioning of the venous cannula is essential to
achieve optimum drainage, which can be assisted by
placing a pulmonary artery vent.
Anesthesiologist’s perspective
MiECC systems are closed and, without the option of
easily adding fluids as necessary, they effectively make
the patient’s venous compartment the reservoir. This
means that fluids have to be used judiciously, i.e.
filling up the venous compartment sufficiently with-
out losing the benefit of minimal hemodilution with
low prime volume. Appropriate use of vasocon-
strictor or inotropic support before initiating CPB
can help maintain hemodynamic goals.
Standard perioperative hemodynamic monitoring
with invasive, continuous mean arterial pressure
(MAP), central venous pressure (CVP) and transeso-
phageal echocardiography (TEE) is often expanded by
using pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) and continu-
ous cardiac output (CCO). Some centers opt to use
near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring of
cerebral oxygenation as an index of global perfusion.
Some advocates of MiECC use its unique charac-
teristics – minimal hemodilution, biocompatible sur-
faces, elimination of blood-air interaction and
elimination of unprocessed shed blood reinfusion –
to use less anticoagulation, aiming for an ACT value
>300 seconds for coronary surgery and >400 seconds
for valve and more complex procedures.
Perfusionist’s perspective
MiECC integrates all advancements in perfusion tech-
nology in a single circuit, but also provides a chal-
lenge for the perfusionist.
Centrifugal pump flow is largely dependent on a
balance between the filling status of the patient and
the systemic vascular resistance and therefore needs
regular adjusting. All commercially available centrifu-
gal pumps are fitted with bubble detectors, which
cause the pump to stop when air reaches the sensor.
In that case the perfusionist has to immediately de-air
the bubble trap by applying suction to it, while at the
same time adding volume to the circuit. Devices that
can purge air automatically can be integrated into the
circuit, removing the need for the perfusionist
to intervene.
The perfusionist has to appreciate the principles of
a closed circuit, where the patient’s venous compart-
ment acts as the reservoir. The patient’s volume status
is monitored via several surrogate measures: negative
venous drainage pressure, arterial pressure, cardiople-
gia pressure and the amount of blood drained from
the aortic root vent. Pump flow is another sensitive
parameter, as it decreases with hypovolemia. Moving
the operating table into Trendelenburg position and
volume replacement and/or administration of

vasoconstrictors are measures to increase the preload.
On the other hand, hypervolemia can cause difficul-
ties in off-loading the heart and in obtaining a blood-
less surgical field. In this case, surplus blood volume
can be decanted into the soft-shell reservoir or the
table can be moved into the reverse-Trendelenburg
position.
Understanding the principles of kinetic-assisted
venous drainage produced by the centrifugal pump is
of paramount importance as the negative pressure at
the venous line provides important information on the
filling status of the patient. Exceeding 70 mmHg can
result in cavitation with the creation of gaseous micro-
emboli and can lead to high blood velocity thereby
increasing shear stress and hemolysis at the level of
the entrance holes of the cannula and at the wall of the
cannula. Increasing the assisted venous, and thus the
negative pressure, is not a solution for correcting
improper cannula position or hypovolemia.
Major determinants of negative pressure are the
type, the size and the position of the venous cann ula.
When increasing the negative pressure, drainage ini-
tially increases linearly with pressure until any further
increase collapses the surrounding venous wall and no
further advantage in flow will be seen. The ratio
between the diameter of the cannula and the vein
should be around 0.6 in order to avoid collapse of
the vein around the side holes of the cannula. Re-
positioning of the venous cannula may be required to
provide appropriate flow. In case of bicaval cannula-
tion, the perfusionist should prom pt the surgeon to
check flow in every cannula separately.
In case of a temporary excess in negative pressure
due to venous cannula displacement while lifting the
heart, the perfusionist might need to add volume to
compensate and ensure adequate flow.
During surgery with MiECC it is imperative to use
blood mini-cardioplegia (i.e. Calafiore regime) in
order to avoid excessive volume. The cardioplegic
solution is delivered with a roller pump in combin-
ation with a high-speed syringe driver. Hyperkalemia
during cardioplegia delivery can cause transient vaso-
dilation but rarely warrants an intervention.
Since there is no cardiotomy reservoir in the
MiECC circuit, shed blood is collected into a cell
saver. The collected blood is processed and adminis-
tered as required after weaning off CPB. In case of
excessive bleeding, the collected blood can be given
back into the circuit directly. Type IV circuits are best
equipped to deal with sudden massive blood loss.
Advantages of a Modular Design
Modular MiECC systems (i.e. Type IV) represent the
latest evolution in the field of extracorporeal circula-
tion. They integrate contemporary advancements in
perfusion technology and address safety concerns. As
previously described, they are Type III circuits with a
standby hard-shell reservoir connected in parallel to
the venous line to allow immediate conversion into a
conventional circuit if required. The circuit configur-
ation of the AHEPA University Hospital Thessaloniki
prototype Type IV MiECC circuit is shown in
Figure 8.2.
Two recently published series show that modular
configuration ensured 100% technical feasibility for
performing every type of cardiac surgery including
aortic arch replacements. They reported conversion
rates to conventional CPB of 0.8 and 6%. Modular
configuration is advocated for all cardiac surgical
procedures, including isolated coronary artery bypass
grafting, in order to promote more widespread adop-
tion of MiECC technology in modern cardiac surgical
practice.
Training
A MiECC training program can be divided into five
stages (see Figure 8.3). After appropriate proctorship,
a dedicated team of surgeon, anesthesiologist and
perfusionist can start operating on coronary cases,
using at least a Type II MiECC system. Experience
shows that tangible results, particularly in reducing
transfusion requirements, materialize after about
50 cases.
After having completed 50 cases, it is feasible to
progress to uncomplicated open-chamber heart sur-
gery, such as aortic valve replacement. Although these
operations are doable with a Type II circuit, the
integration of a soft-shell reservoir (Type III circuit)
is highly recommended for volume management.
After gaining experience in aortic valve cases,
more complex mitral and tricuspid valve procedures
can be pursued with a Type III circuit, although a
modular design is advocated as a “safety net.” With a
high level of expertise and confidence in using Type
IV circuits, any cardiac procedure, even emergency
aortic dissection repair or demanding redo cases, can
be performed using MiECC technology.
Type IV circuits can obviously be used even from
the first coronary cases, obviating the need for a
staged approach, as part of the learning strategy.

The Quest for “Physiologic” Perfusion
Development of MiECC has initiated a multidisci-
plinary strategy toward “physiologic” perfusion in
cardiac surgery. Despite all advances in surgical tech-
niques and cardiac anesthesia, this concept could
never have been introduced in clinical practice with-
out the concomitant advancement in CPB technology.
Figure 8.4 proposes a monitoring algorithm through-
out the perioperative period. Hemodynamic
management during the pre-CPB and post-CPB
period – either with the help of inotropes or vasocon-
strictors, with optimizing volume status or by increas-
ing pump flow – aims to keep cardiac output (CO) >
2.4 L/min/m
2
and mixed venous oxygen saturation
(SvO
2
) > 70%. During CPB the perfusionist adjusts
their strategy to goal-directed perfusion, maintaining
oxygen delivery (DO
2
i) > 272 ml/min/m
2
and an
oxygen delivery to carbon dioxide production ratio
(DO
2
i/VCO
2
i) > 5, while the oxygen extraction
ratio (O
2
ER) should be kept at <30. Cerebral
oximetry monitoring serves as a ‘ level alarm’ on-
and off-CPB and a drop of >20% from the baseline
needs to prompt immediate intervention. While
aiming to reduce transfusion, hemoglobin level
should be kept >8 g/dl.
Evidenced-Based Clinical Advantages
of MiECC
As the amount of evidence increases, the use of
MiECC is gaining traction in various guidelines. The
2019 joint guidelines on adult cardiopulmonary
bypass in cardiac surgery by the European Societies
of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery, Cardiac Anaesthesia
and the European Board of Cardiac Perfusion
(EACTS, EACTA and EBCP) state that:
MiECC should be considered over standard
conventional CPB systems to increase the
biocompatibility of ECC. (Class of
recommendation: IIA, Level of evidence: B.)
MiECC should be considered over standard
conventional CPB systems to reduce blood loss
and the need for transfusion. (Class of

cardiotomy suction blood and the use of closed
systems – should be considered to improve
conventional CPB. (Class of recommendation:
IIA, Level of evidence: C.)
The 2017 EACTS/EACTA guidelines on patient blood
management for adult cardiac surgery recommend
considering MiECC to reduce perioperative blood
transfusion. A position paper produced by MiECTiS
in 2016 provides a detailed overview of practice rec-
ommendations, which are summarized in Table 8.2
A meta-analysis including 2,700 patients from
24 randomized controlled trials showed that MiECC
is associated with reduced postoperative morbidity
and lower mortality (0.5% versus 1.7%; p = 0.02) in
coronary surgery when compared to conventional
CPB. A large network analysis including 22,778
patients showed that MiECC and OPCABG reduce
the odds of 30-day all-cause-mortality, and particu-
larly stroke, new onset atrial fibrillation and renal
dysfunction, over CABG done on conventional CPB.
There was no difference in the odds for developing a
postoperative myocardial infarction. The authors
conclude that MiECC may represent an attractive
compromise between OPCAB and conventional CPB.
Incorporating the Lessons Learnedfrom
MiECC into Practice
Cardiac surgery is by definition a “non-physiologic”
intervention. MiECC attempts to apply physiology to
perfusion. On a cellular level it shows less impairment
of microcirculation and a faster recovery of physiolo-
gic flow compared with conventional flow. At least in
low-risk coronary surgery, this seems to translate into
improved organ protection and clinical outcomes
appear to be better than those of patients operated
on using conventional CPB (see Figure 8.5).
Some teams have introduced the term “optimized
ECC” (opECC), representing a shift from conventional

Class IIB
Within a MiECC strategy, less thrombin generation may permit reduced heparin dose targeted to
shorter ACT times. When such a strategy is followed, individual heparin dose should be determined
using heparin dose-response monitoring systems.
B
MiECC appears to offer survival benefit in terms of lower 30-day mortality after CABG procedures. B
Use of short-acting opioids in combination with propofol or volatile anesthetics, and hypnotic effect
monitoring by processed EEG, is recommended for induction and maintenance of anesthesia for
MiECC-based surgery. TEE findings pertinent to institutional management of MiECC should be
communicated during the preoperative surgical safety time out.

CPB to advanced perfusion circuits. This trend high-
lights the change in mindset that MiECC has offered to
perfusion, leading perfusionists to improve CPB tech-
nology. An opECC circuit often follows a custom-made
design, incorporating relatively easy-to-make changes,
such as using short tubing with biocompatible surfaces,
centrifugal pumps, low prime oxygenators and assisted
venous drainage. They might not reach the efficacy of a
MiECC system but are a step toward more physiological
perfusion becoming global practice.
The success of MiECC depends on the engagement of
all three stakeholders of the cardiac surgical team in
order to obtain the maximum benefit. Combining a
multidisciplinary strategy with technological advances
has the potential to make MiECC a “therapy” for
cardiac surgery. The evidence is not strong enough
at present, but it could at some point in the future
replace conventional CPB and become standard prac-
tice in cardiac surgery.
