Anticoagulants Flashcards
Angioplasty
DAPT x 14 days
Surgery 48 h after PTCA (americans)
Factor Xa Inhibitors
Rivaroxaban
Apixaban
Edoxaban
Normal renal function CrCl > 30 mL/min
- If neuraxial technique: Stop 3 days prior
- If major bleeding risk: Stop 3 days prior
- If no neuraxial technique AND/OR moderate or low bleeding risk: Stop 2 days prior
ASA & Vascular sx
Continue ASA
Surgery > 48 h preop: start 325 mg die
Surgery < 48 h preop: start 650 mg x 1
ASA - Primary prevention
Benefit: harm ratio less clear
Stop 7 days preop, especially if bleeding risk is high
Summary:
No impact for all-cause mortality
Small reductions in non-fatal MI & stroke over 10y
Low-quality evidence for decreased colonCA risk over 20y
ASA - Prevention, Secondary
low-dose < 100 mg/d
- ACS: MI or unstable angina (within 30 d to 2 y)
- Acute occlusive stroke (within 3 weeks to 2.5 y)
- Stable ischemic HD and or PVD or carotid stenosis
- PTCA
Stop ASA 7 d prior to:
spine, intracranial and opthalmology
Continue:
cataracts, cardiac (EP lab), carotid or peripheral vascular sx
Cilostazol (claudication)
Stop 4 d prior to sx
Half-life = 21h
Clopidogrel
7 days (if neuraxial or high risk bleed)
Low-bleeding risk: 5 d
P2Y12 receptor blocker
Dipyridamole
Stop > 4 days
dabigatran (pradaxa)
Direct Thrombin inhibitors
Normal CrCl > 50 mL/min:
- Neuraxial or High bleeding risk: 3 days
- No neuraxial, low-moderate bleeding risk: 2 days
Impaired CrCl 31-49 mL/ min:
- Neuraxial or High bleeding risk: 5 days
- No neuraxial, low or mod bleeding risk: 3 days
High bleeding risk
Ref: Douketis JD UpToDate 2020, Thromb Res 2003(108) 3-13
- Anticipated difficulty in achieving hemostasis mechanically
- Usually hemorrhagic surgery:
- Involves highly vascular tissue or large blood vessels
- brain, lung, kidney, prostate, oncologic, reconstructive sx, vascular, intrauterine & obstetric, arthroplasty, spine
- Significant consequences of bleeding:
- Lowers Hgb > 20
- requires transfusion > 2U or surgery to correct
- can be fatal
Low bleeding risk - definition
Sié, P & Samama, C et al: French study group Arch Cardiovascular Dis 2011(104), 669-76
- Location non-critical
- Low volume
- Easily controlled with mechanical hemostasis
- Superficial surgeries (hernia, breast, skin)
- Diagnostic procedures (endoscopy)
- Minor dental: extraction, incision, simple implant
- Optho: cataracts, glaucoma sx
Moderate bleeding risk
Douketis JD UpToDate 2020, Thromb Res
- Involves less vascular tissues or blood vessels of smaller caliber
- Hemostasis achievable mechanically
- Consequences of bleeding tolerable & not catastrophic
- Intraabdominal: usually less vascular or smaller vessels (chole, appy, gastrectomy)
- Opthalmologic sx (excl. cataract)
- Orthopedic (excl spine or arthroplasty)
- Intrathoracic (excl lung resection)
- Vascular: minor or endovascular procedures
- Rhythm device insertion
Prasugrel
7 days
Reversal of vit K antagonists
24-48h: vit K IV or PO 5-10 mg
Immediate:
- FFP: how many units per INR increase?
- 4 Factor PCC
- 3 factor PCC & FFP (3F PCC lacks F VII)
Reversal: rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban
4 or 5 factor PCC:
- 2000 U or 25-50 U per kg
- Once only dosing
- Risk: thrombosis
