Efficacy of delayed thromboprophylaxis with dabigatran: Pooled analysis
2012
Abstract Introduction Oral thromboprophylaxis with dabigatran etexilate should be initiated as a half dose 1 to 4 h after major orthopaedic surgery. However, a delay in dosing could occur for clinical or logistical reasons. A post hoc analysis was carried out to determine if patients with delayed dosing received adequate anticoagulation. Patients and methods The RE-MODEL™ and RE-NOVATE® trials compared 220 mg and 150 mg dabigatran etexilate with 40 mg enoxaparin. Pooled data for major venous thromboembolism (VTE) and VTE-related mortality (efficacy outcome) and major bleeding events (MBE), MBE/clinically relevant bleeding events, and all bleeding events (safety outcomes) were analysed. Resu…
Oral dabigatran versus enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis after primary total hip arthroplasty (RE-NOVATE II)
2010
SummaryThis trial compared the efficacy and safety of oral dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor, versus subcutaneous enoxaparin for extended thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. A total of 2,055 patients were randomised to 28–35 days treatment with oral dabigatran, 220 mg once-daily, starting with a half-dose 1–4 hours after surgery, or subcutaneous enoxaparin 40 mg once-daily, starting the evening before surgery. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of total venous thromboembolism [VTE] (venographic or symptomatic) and death from all-causes. The main secondary composite outcome was major VTE (proximal deep-vein thrombosis or non-fatal pulmonary embol…
Enoxaparin Prevents Portal Vein Thrombosis and Liver Decompensation in Patients With Advanced Cirrhosis
2012
BACKGROUND & AIMS: We performed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of enoxaparin, a low-molecular-weight heparin, in preventing portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with advanced cirrhosis. METHODS: In a nonblinded, single-center study, 70 outpatients with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh classes B7-C10) with demonstrated patent portal veins and without hepatocellular carcinoma were assigned randomly to groups that were given enoxaparin (4000 IU/day, subcutaneously for 48 weeks; n = 34) or no treatment (controls, n = 36). Ultrasonography (every 3 months) and computed tomography (every 6 months) were performed to check the portal vein axis. The primary outcome was pre…
