  • Analysis of efficacy and safety of early administration of low molecular weight heparin inpreventing of venous thromboembolism after pancreatoduodenectomy

    ObjectiveTo evaluate efficacy and safety of early anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).MethodsThe patients who received PD in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were collected retrospectively, then were divided into the anticoagulant group and the non-anticoagulant group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, tumor property, coagulation function indexes such as prothrombin time (PT), PT activity (PTA), fibrinogen (FIB), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and D-dimer (DD), platelet (PLT), VTE, bleeding related complications etc. were compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 103 patients underwent PD were included in this study, including 52 patients in the anticoagulant group and 51 patients in the non-anticoagulant group. There were no significant differences in the baseline data such as the gender, age, and preoperative coagulation function indexes, etc. between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of VTE in the anticoagulant group was lower than that in the non-anticoagulant group (13.5% versus 47.1%, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of bleeding between the anticoagulant group and the non-anticoagulant group (9.6% versus 7.8%, P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the coagulation indexes between the two groups before operation and day 1 after operation (P>0.05). On day 8 after operation, the FIB and DD values of the anticoagulant group were significantly lower than those of the non-anticoagulant group (P values were 0.040 and 0.002, respectively). A comparison of different phases in the same group on coagulation indexes between day 8 and day 1 after surgery showed that there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05), the changes of all indexes were within the normal range.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that LMWH administered at 24 h after PD could decrease incidence of VTE and don’t increase risk of bleeding.

  • Evaluation of anticoagulant effect of fondaparinux and low molecular weight heparin in continuous renal replacement therapy

    Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of two different anticoagulation regimens of fondaparinux and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods The clinical data of patients undergoing CRRT in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between October 2021 and April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into fondaparinux sodium group and LMWH group according to anticoagulation with fondaparinux or LMWH during CRRT. The general condition, life expectancy of cardiopulmonary bypass, coagulation events, bleeding events, hemoglobin, and coagulation function-related indicators were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 78 patients were finally included, including 38 in the LMWH group and 40 in the fondaparinux group. The age of the patients in the LMWH group was older than that in the fondaparinux group [76.0 (57.0, 85.0) vs. 63.0 (52.3, 76.0) years, P=0.016]. There was no significant difference in other clinical baseline conditions (including gender, vascular access site, and treatment indications) between the two groups (P≥0.05). The cardiopulmonary bypass life of patients in the fondaparinux group was better than that in the LMWH group [67.1 (35.0, 72.0) vs. 42.0 (20.0, 55.3) h, P=0.003]. The survival rate of cardiopulmonary bypass in the fondaparinux group at 24, 48, and 72 h were higher than that in the LMWH group (87.5% vs. 65.8%, P=0.023; 67.5% vs. 36.8%, P=0.007; 42.5% vs. 13.2%, P=0.004). The incidence of blood filter coagulation events in the fondaparinux group was lower than that in the LMWH group (50.0% vs. 84.2%, P=0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of coagulation events and mild bleeding events between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in hemoglobin and coagulation function-related indicators between the two groups before and after CRRT (P>0.05). Conclusion The continuity of maintenance therapy with fondaparinux is better than that of LMWH, and the safety of both in the course of CRRT treatment is comparable.

  • The characteristics of thrombosis in severe patients with omicron infection and the therapeutic value of preventive low molecular weight heparin

    Objectives To explore the characteristics of thrombosis in critically ill patients with Omicron infection and the therapeutic value of prophylactic low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) treatment. MethodsA single center, retrospective cohort study included critically ill adult patients with Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from December 7, 2022, to February 8, 2023. The patients were categorized into two groups based prophylactic LMWH. Propensity score (PS) matching was used to match patients (1: 1 ratio) based on the predefined criteria. General clinical information and laboratory parameters were compared. This study was retrospectively registered at Chinese Clinical Trail Registry (ChiCTR2300067434). ResultsFour hundred and fifty-two patients and 360 patients were included before and after PS matching. There were no statistical differences in mortality, the incidence of pulmonary embolism, arterial thrombosis or bleeding between the anticoagulation group and non-coagulation group before and after PS matching. There were 91 thrombotic events in 82 patients (18.14%), of which 54 cases (59.34%) were lower limb intermuscular vein thrombosis, 3 cases (3.30%) were pulmonary embolism, 14 cases (15.38%) were acute myocardial infarction and 3 cases (3.30%) were acute cerebral infarction. The thrombotic event resulted in the death of 5 patients. D-dimer increased in 385 cases (85.56%). On the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 9th day, the concentration of D-dimer in the anticoagulant group was higher than that in the non-anticoagulant group (P=0.006, 0.001, 0.024 and 0.006, respectively). ConclusionsAlthough thrombosis and coagulation disorders are still common complications of COVID-19, it is not the direct cause of most death in COVID-19 patients caused by Omicron. The role of prophylactic anticoagulation treatment for Omicron-infected patients needs further study.
