Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are used as alternative to intravenous anticoagulants. It includes apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban and edoxaban.1 Some of the complications induced by these drugs are gastrointestinal haemorrhage, cerebral haemorrhage and rarely thrombocytopenia. We present a rare case report of a selective factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban, which induced thrombocytopenia in a case of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of right lower limb. Drugs commonly used to prevent embolization of systemic circulation are warfarin and novel oral anticoagulants, such as rivaroxaban and dabigatran.

(1) Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the preferences of oral anticoagulants (OA) in patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs or non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) requiring anticoagulation for medium/long term. (2) Materials and methods: the study included consecutive patients admitted with a diagnosis of either acute DVT of lower limbs (without signs of pulmonary embolism) or non-valvular AF who required oral anticoagulation, in a time frame of 18 months from January 2017 until June 2018. The following data were recorded: demographic variables, comorbidities (ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension, heart failure, stroke, peripheral artery disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity), type and dose of OA (acenocoumarol, dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban), complications due to the use of OA. (3) Results: AF patients were older and had considerably more cardiovascular comorbidities than DVT patients. Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) were more likely to be administered in patients with AF, as they had indication for indefinite anticoagulation. VKA were more frequently prescribed in patients with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and diabetes compared with DVT patients. Moreover, complications related to OA use were more frequent in the VKA group. Almost half of patients with acute DVT (48.5%) were treated with direct OA (DOAC) rather than VKA, and only a quarter of AF patients (24.8%) were treated with DOACs.

SummaryAlthough the oral anticoagulants provide effective prophylaxis against postoperative deep vein thrombosis following fracture of neck of femur there is a need for an antithrombotic agent which needs less laboratory control and does not cause haemorrhagic complications. It has been suggested that drugs causing inhibition of platelet function may fulfil these requirements. A controlled trial was carried out in which aspirin, RA 233, or a combination of these drugs was compared with a placebo in the prevention of post-operative deep vein thrombosis. In thirty patients undergoing surgery for fractured neck of femur the incidence of post-operative calf vein thrombosis, as detected by 125I-fibrinogen scanning, was not significantly different between the untreated and treated groups.

A congenital Antithrombin III (AT III) deficiency affecting 7 members of 3 families is reported.The first throrabo-embolic accidents were observed between the age of 22 and 35 : they were spontaneous or occured after delivery or oral contraception. in one patient, a deep vein thrombosis was observed during heparin treatment. in 2 cases, recurrent pulmonary embolic episodes required vena cava ligation. No thromboembolic accident was observed during oral anticoagulation.AT III was measured by an amidolytic method and by the Mancini method on plasma and serum ; the antithrombin activity was determined on serum by the von Kaulla method. in 7 patients, a decreased AT III was found by all the methods performed. The AT III level was around 50 % in patients treated or not by oral anticoagulants One patient was studied during heparin treatment and then under oral anticoagulants : AT III levels were lower under heparin.

Введение. Влияние стандартной и альтернативных схем антикоагулянтной терапии на степень и скорость реканализации глубоких вен привлекает внимание современных исследователей. Цель исследования: сравнение эффективности терапии тромбоза глубоких вен (ТГВ) нижних конечностей варфарином и ривароксабаном в отдаленном периоде. Материалы и методы. В исследование включено 94 пациента с ТГВ нижних конечностей, которые были разделены на 2 группы в зависимости от назначенной схемы лечения. Средний возраст 50 пациентов группы 1 составил 44,0 12,6 лет, 44 больных группы 2 39,5 11,7 лет. Пациентам группы 1 был назначен варфарин, группы 2 ривароксабан в течение 6 мес после выписки. Конечная точка наблюдения 4 года. Результаты. Прием антикоагулянта ранее установленного срока прекратили 18 (36) пациентов из группы 1 и 2 (4,5) пациента из группы 2. Режим эластической компрессии в обеих группах пациенты соблюдали нерегулярно. Рецидив венозных тромбоэмболических осложнений в группе 1 отмечен в 11 (22) случаях, в группе 2 у 7 (15,9) пациентов. Отрицательная динамика ультразвукового обследования складывалась у пациентов обеих групп: у 16 пациентов группы 1 и у 9,1 группы 2 появились признаки поражения ранее неизмененных вен или окклюзия ранее проходимой вены после перенесенного тромбоза без клиники острого венозного тромбоза в анамнезе. Трофические расстройства отмечены у одного пациента группы 2 и у 1/3 пациентов группы 1 к четвертому году наблюдения. Значимые отличия между группами были получены по таким параметрам, как приверженность к лечению и степень тяжести венозной недостаточности, оцениваемая клинически, в пользу ривароксабана. Заключение. Неудовлетворительные результаты лечения при использовании стандартной схемы терапии ТГВ требуют назначения препаратов из группы новых оральных антикоагулянтов с возможным внедрением схемы профилактического приема. Introduction. Effect of standard and alternative anticoagulant therapy regimens on the degree and rapidity of deep vein recanalization attracts the attention of modern researchers. Aim: to compare the treatment effectiveness of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs with warfarin and rivaroxaban in the long-term period. Materials and methods. The study included 94 patients with DVT of lower limbs they were divided into 2 groups depending on the prescribed treatment regimen. The average age of 50 patients of group 1 was 44.0 12.6 years, 44 patients of group 2 39.5 11.7 years. Warfarin was prescribed to patients of group 1, rivaroxaban to patients of group 2 treatment was prescribed for 6 months after discharge. The endpoint of observation was 4 years. Results. 18 (36) patients from group 1 and 2 (4.5) patients from group 2 stopped taking the anticoagulant earlier than target date. Elastic compression treatment patients in both groups kept irregularly. Recurrence of venous thromboembolic complications in group 1 was noted in 11 (22) cases, in group 2 in 7 (15.9) patients. The negative ultrasound dynamics was observed in patients of both groups: 16 of patients in group 1 and 9.1 in group 2 had lesion signs of previously unchanged veins or occlusion of a previously passable vein after thrombosis without clinic of acute venous thrombosis. Trophic disorders were identified in 1 patient in group 2 and in 1/3 of patients in group 1 by the 4th year of observation. Significant differences between the groups were obtained in favor of rivaroxaban according to such parameters as adherence to treatment and the severity of venous insufficiency. Conclusion. Unsatisfactory results of DVT treatment with standard therapy regimen require the administration of new oral anticoagulants with the possible introduction of prophylactic regimen.

Question Survey

Objectives Central-venous devices are risk-factors for upper extremity deep vein thrombosis. We surveyed physicians to identify practice-patterns and adherence to American College of Chest Physicians guidelines. Methods The 13-question survey obtained physician-demographics and treatment-choices. Respondents were grouped into surgical and medical specialists. Data were reported as ratios and percentages, and compared using Fisher’s exact test. Results We received 143 responses from physicians; 65% treated one-to-two new cases/month. Most physicians (69.2%) used anticoagulation; 36.4% retained the catheter and 32.9% removed it. Medical-specialists retained catheters more often than surgeons ( p = 0.027). For recurrences, 84% repeated anticoagulation; 50.3% retained the catheter. A majority anticoagulated upper-extremity deep-vein thrombosis in long-term catheters for three months only (55.1%). Direct oral anticoagulants were used frequently (43.6%). Only 10% believed that existing guidelines were appropriate and only 2.8% followed all guidelines. Conclusion There is great variability in treatment-decisions for upper-extremity deep-vein thrombosis. The existing guidelines are considered inadequate and not followed by most physicians.
