VTE Prevention Roxie M. Albrecht, MD, FACS Associate Professor of Surgery University of Oklahoma
Rationale for Thromboprophylasis • • • High Prevalence of VTE Adverse Consequences of VTE Efficacy and effectiveness of thromboprophylaxis – Highly efficacious in prevention of DVT – Highly efficacious in prevention of symptomatic VTE and fatal PE – DVT prevention prevents PE – Cost effectiveness has been demonstrated
Incidence • 10 -40% in medical or general surgery patients • 40 -60% following major orthopaedic surgery • 10% hospital deaths attributed to PE
Absolute Risk of DVT in Hospitalized Patients Patient Group DVT Prevalence, % Medical patients General surgery 10 -20 15 -40 Major GYN surgery Major GU surgery 15 -40 Neurosurgery Stroke 15 -40 20 -50 Hip or Knee surgery Major Trauma 40 -60 40 -80 Spinal Cord Injury Critical Care patients 60 -80 10 -80
Consequences of Unprevented VTE • • • Symptomatic DVT and PE Fatal PE Costs of investigating symptomatic patients Risks and costs of treating unprevented VTE Increased future risk of recurrent VTE Chronic post-thrombotic syndrome
Thromboprophylaxis reduces VTE events • PE is the most common preventable cause of hospital death • Highest ranked safety practice – Appropriate use of VTE prophylaxis
Risk Factors for VTE • • • Surgery Trauma Immobility, paresis Malignancy Cancer therapy Previous VTE Increasing age Pregnancy and postpartum Estrogen-containing oral contraception or HRT • Selective estrogen receptor modulators • Acute medical illness • • • Heart or respiratory failure Inflammatory bowel disease Nephrotic syndrome Myeloproliferative disorders Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria Obesity Smoking Varicose veins Central venous catheterization Inherited or acquired thrombophilia
Risk Factor Stratification • Individual Approach – Individual predisposing factors and risk associated with current illness or procedure • Group-specific prophylaxis
Guidelines for Prophylaxis • American College of Chest Physicians – Chest 2004 • Grade I – Recommendations are strong and indicate that the benefits do or do not out weigh risks, burden and costs • Grade 2 – Recommendations are less certain. Suggest feasibility, acceptability and cost related to implementation strategies. • Grade A – RCT’s with consistent results • Grade B – RCT’s with inconsistent results or method weaknesses • Grade C – Observational studies or generalizations from one group of patients in a RCT. A + is given if the generalizations are secure or overwhelming.
Methods of Prophylaxis • Mechanical Methods – Graduated Compression Stockings – Intermittent pneumatic compression device – Venous foot pump • Studies – – – Not blinded High rate of false negative scans Compliance in true practice – poor • Acceptable option – High risk for bleeding (Grade 1 C+) – Adjunct to anticoagulant prophylaxis (Grade 2 A) • Improves efficacy when used in combination with anticoagulant prophylaxis
Methods of Prophylaxis • Aspirin – Poor study methods • Acceptable DVT screening – 38% • ASA alone in only 1/3 of trials – No significant benefit – Small increased risk of major bleeding – Poor results v. LMWH – Not recommended alone for VTE in any patient group (Group 1 A)
Unfractionated Heparin & Low Molecular Weight Heparin • Most widely used and studied prophylaxis • Low molecular weight heparin have more predictable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties due to consistent binding sites • Dosing LMWH more cumbersome – Anti – Xa monitoring • UFH – needs site specific validation of a. PTT therapeutic range due to variability of reagents • LMWH – ? Limited uses in renal failure and obesity – dose adjustments possible
Low Molecular Weight Heparin • Reduced anti-factor IIa relative to anti-factor Xa activity • More favorable benefit/risk ratio in animal studies • Superior pharmacokinetic properties – SC bioavailability near 100% – More predicable dose response peak at 3 -5 hr • Monitoring – Renal failure (Cr. Cl < 30 m. L/Kg) & obesity • Four hours post dose - anti-factor Xa level – Enoxaparin 1. 0 IU/m. L, Tinzaparin 0. 85 IU/m. L, Nadroparin 1. 3 IU/m. L, Dalteparin 1. 05 IU/m. L
Reversal LMWH Protamine Neutralizes approx. 60% – 1 mg per 100 anti-factor Xa units LMWH • 1 mg enoxaparin = 100 anti-factor Xa units • ? Activated factor VIIa
General Surgery • 46 RTC Low Dose Unfractionated Heparin v. placebo or no proph. – Reduced • DVT 22 to 9% • Symptomatic PE 2 to 1. 3% • Fatal PE. 8 to 3% • Meta-analysis – 5000 Units TID more efficacious than BID – No increase in wound hematoma or bleeding
General Surgery • LMWH – Meta-analysis (Douketis Arch Intern Med 2002) • 70 % reduction DVT v. no prophylaxis – Nine meta-analysis and systematic reviews • No difference in DVT LMWH and UFH • Some trial fewer hematomas and bleeding complications with LMWH • No difference in total mortality, fatal PE between LDUH 5000 units TID and LMWH

New Antithrombotic Agents • Ximelagatran – Oral direct thrombin inhibitor – Rapid absorption and conversion to melagatran – predictable pharmacokinetics, no food interactions • • Hip and knee replacement (Lancet 2002, phase II trial) Melagatran 3 mg BID/ximelagatran 24 mg/d v dalteparin 5000 IU BID • DVT 15. 1 v 28. 2% • Fondaparinux – synthetic pentasaccharides with selective inhibitor of activated factor X (NEJM 2001, Lancet 2002) • • • RRR 56. 4%/59. 5% v. enoxaparin q day hip surgery RRR 22. 6% v enoxaparin BID RRR 12. 5% in Knee sugery higher bleeding Both have better efficacy that LMWH for prophylaxis however cost effectiveness has not yet been proven
Conclusion • Most strategies include LMWH • Exception – – high bleeding risk – GCS and IPS best option Renal failure – monitor Obesity - monitor • Further research – – Laparoscopy Vascular Duration Safety of LMWH • Neurosurgery – New antithrombotic agents in nonorthopedic groups
Weight Based Heparin Dosing • Unfractionated Heparin Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism – Bolus – 80 Units/Kg – Infusion – 18 Units/Kg/hour – Monitoring • Measure 6 hours after bolus • Goal – Plasma heparin concentration of 0. 3 IU/m. L (by factor Xa inhibition – anti factor-Xa units) • a. PTT levels vary due to reagents and methods of clot detection and are inaccurate measures of heparin levels – CAP and ACCP recommendation • Therapeutic a. PTT range calibrated with heparin levels equivalent to 0. 3 – 0. 7 IU/m. L by factor Xa inhibition
Vitamin K antagonists • Initiation of Oral Dose – 5 -10 mg for first 1 -2 days – most patients – < 5 mg for first days – elderly/elevated bleeding risk/liver disease/CHF/malnutrition • Goal – INR 2. 0 -3. 0 • Monitoring – Initiation – daily, 2 -3 X/wk for 1 -2 weeks, when stable 1 X/4 weeks • Reversal – Elevated INR • Hold dose v. Oral Vitamin K (1 – 2. 5 mg) – Elective Surgery • Hold for 4 days and initiate UFH or LMWH – Serious/Life threatening Bleeding • Vitamin K – IV, FFP, protamine, recombinant Factor VIIa
