Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke in patients on direct oral anticoagulants.

European journal of neurology·2018

Preventing blood clots after vascular surgery is crucial, especially with arterial prostheses. Aspirin is beneficial, while oral anticoagulants carry bleeding risks, limiting their routine use.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Thrombosis Research
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Thrombotic occlusion is a common complication following vascular reconstructive surgery, particularly in low-flow arteries and with arterial prostheses.
  • Heparin is frequently used for acute arterial insufficiency and during the perioperative period to prevent thrombus formation.
  • Antiplatelet agents, notably aspirin, have demonstrated clear benefits in preventing thrombotic complications associated with arterial prostheses.

Purpose:

  • To review the role of antithrombotic therapies in preventing complications after vascular reconstructive surgery.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and risks associated with heparin, aspirin, and oral anticoagulants in this context.

Summary:

  • Aspirin therapy provides significant benefits in preventing thrombotic complications for arterial prostheses and may be useful in venous bypasses.

  • Aspirin also reduces long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
  • Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists, alone or with aspirin, may be considered for high-risk patients but is not recommended for routine use due to increased hemorrhage risk.

    • Impact:

    • Optimizing antithrombotic strategies can reduce vascular graft thrombosis and improve patient outcomes.
    • Understanding the risks and benefits of different anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents informs clinical decision-making.
    • This review highlights the established role of aspirin and the cautious approach needed for oral anticoagulants in vascular surgery patients.
