During extracorporeal circulation for open heart surgery an activation of the kininogen-kininsystem occurs with a decrease in plasma-kininogen-levels significantly exceeding the effect of haemodilution, and thus being due to an increased liberation of kinin. This effect could be suppressed by kallikrein inhibition by means of a protease-inhibitor.
