Clotting properties in diverse valve prostheses.

H Zöller, W Gross, K Rieke

    Zeitschrift Fur Kardiologie
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Mechanical heart valves like St. Jude Medical cause minor changes, while Starr-Edwards prostheses significantly impact platelets and hemolysis. Tissue valves also show clotting alterations, necessitating careful anticoagulation management.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Heart valve prostheses, including mechanical and tissue types, can affect blood coagulation and red blood cell integrity.
    • Understanding these effects is crucial for managing anticoagulation therapy and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the hematological and thrombotic effects of different heart valve prostheses (St. Jude Medical, Starr-Edwards, tissue valves).
    • To provide recommendations for anticoagulation management based on prosthesis type and patient condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of hemolysis and thrombophilia markers in patients with various heart valve prostheses.
    • Review of current anticoagulation guidelines for different valve types and patient populations.

    Main Results:

    • St. Jude Medical prostheses showed minimal alterations in hemolysis and thrombophilia compared to normal.
    • Starr-Edwards prostheses exhibited the most significant changes in platelets and hemolysis.
    • Tissue valves also demonstrated notable alterations in the clotting system and intravascular hemolysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitamin K antagonists are preferred for long-term anticoagulation in mechanical prostheses.
    • Heparin is recommended during the initial months of pregnancy.
    • Anticoagulation can potentially be discontinued three months after tissue valve implantation if no additional risk factors are present.
