Intraoperative hemoadsorption therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of sepsis and dysregulated inflammatory response during cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intraoperative hemoadsorption in high-risk patients with IE undergoing cardiac surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 176 high-risk patients with IE were enrolled from 10\/2020 to 10\/2024.

The primary endpoint was a composite of 30-day mortality, incidence of vasoplegic syndrome within the first 24\u00a0h and 7 days postoperatively, and intensive care (ICU) stay, analyzed using an unmatched hierarchical win-ratio method.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the groups. The mean hemoadsorption time was 106\u2009\u00b1\u200961\u00a0min in the HA group. Vasoplegic syndrome was more frequent in the control group (49.4% vs. 24.7%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

The mean ICU stay was shorter in the HA group (7.8\u2009\u00b1\u20094.6 vs. 11.5\u2009\u00b1\u20094.2 days,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
