An Observational Trial to Assess the Performance of the TEG® 6s Diagnostic System With the Citrated K, KH, RTH, FFH Cartridge

This clinical trial is designed to assess the agreement of the TEG® 6s system using the Citrated K, KH, RTH, FFH, cartridge (hereafter referred to as the Heparin Neutralization (HN) Cartridge) with its comparators.

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients who are at an increased risk of intervention-induced coagulopathy or at increased risk of developing intervention-induced coagulopathy complications undergoing cardiovascular surgeries or liver transplantation (recipients):

1. Adult patients (18 years of age and older) who underwent cardiovascular on-pump surgeries or procedures (e.g., CABG) who were at an increased risk of coagulopathy-related complications1 (see Table 9.3-1) as well as patients with clinically apparent or suspected coagulopathy or
2. Adult patients (18 years of age and older) who underwent not-on-pump cardiovascular surgeries (e.g., lead extraction) or cardiovascular procedures (e.g., minimally invasive valve or percutaneous cardiac procedures, such as PCI, LAAC, TAVR/TAVI) associated with the use of heparin who were at an increased risk of coagulopathy-related complications1 (see Table 9.3-1) as well as patients with clinically apparent or suspected coagulopathy or
3. Adult patients (18 years of age and older) who underwent liver transplantation (recipients)

Exclusion Criteria:
