2 No disclosures/conflicts of interest COI

3 Objectives Be able to name 2 thromboprophylaxis agents used to treat children with CHD Identify key components of physical exam when evaluating a child on anticoagulation Identify key management components when transitioning a patient from enoxaparin to warfarin

7 Inflammatory State Mechanical Support

8 Anticoagulation Drugs DRUG MONITORING REVERSAL HALF LIFE Unfractionated heparin PTT Vitamin K, FFP, protamine sulfate 100% reversed Low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) anti-xa Protamine sulfate Only 70% effective Warfarin INR Vitamin K, FFP, K Centra Direct oral anticoagulants NONE NONE Idarucizumab - dabigatran Neonates: 30 min hr general population hrs hrs 5-9 hrs (rivaroxaban) 12 hrs (epixiban)

9 Major bleeding rates: UFH % LMWH % Thrombocytopenia Coagulopathy Renal dysfunction Recent procedure Other source of hemorrhage Prior bleeding

10 Menorrhagia

11 Antiplatelet Therapy

12

13 Antiplatelet Drugs Aspirin DRUG MONITORING REVERSAL HALF LIFE Clopidogrel (Plavix) TEG and/or platelet mapping (AA% inhibition) Platelet mapping (ADP% inhibition) None minutes BUT irreversibly binds to platelets for life of plt (7-9 days) None 6 hrs for drug, 30 minutes for metabolite (50% of drug is out of system after ~6.5 hrs)

14 Case Studies

15 Case Study Prosthetic valve MF is a 19 yo male with aortic stenosis due to a bicuspid aortic valve. He is s/p balloon valvuloplasty as an infant and now presents for an aortic valve replacement. His surgery was uneventful. A 25 mm On-X valve was placed 6/19. INR Goal 1 st 3 months: 2-3 INR Goal after 3 months: Aspirin 81 mg daily

16 Baseline Labs Hgb 13.7 Plts 248 BUN/Cr 13/0.8 PT/PTT 13.7/26.9 INR 1.09 Fibrinogen 253

17 Clinical Practice Guidelines Using a Loading Dose No Loading Dose

18 Hospital Admission INR 1.09 (baseline) Warfarin Dose mg 10 mg 10 mg 8 mg 7 mg Aspirin 81 mg 81 mg 81 mg 81 mg 81 mg

19 Clinic Visit 3 days Later INR 3.7 in clinic, no bleeding (Tuesday) Warfarin dose held that night Restart at 5mg on following day (Wednesday) Recheck INR Friday Continue daily aspirin

20 ED 6 days later Chest pain 10/10 (pressure) Abdominal pain (stabbing) Hematuria x1 Hypotensive Blurry vision Diaphoretic INR 3.42 (warfarin held x1, 4 mg x2) Hemoglobin 9.7 down from 11.2 HR: 100 BP: 113/63 RR: 20 SpO2: 98% Temp 36.8 C

21 Chest/Abd CT Scan 1. Postsurgical changes from aortic valve replacement, with moderate to large hemopericardium. 2. Small volume intraperitoneal free fluid measuring simple fluid density. 3. Hypodense lesion in the left kidney, possibly cyst. This may be evaluated with ultrasound if clinically indicated.

22 Plan Anticoagulation Issues Vitamin K versus FFP?? 1 unit FFP prior to cath lab Warfarin held, INR 2.9 following day ASA held Restart ASA??? Resume INR goal 2-3??? Plan of Care Pericardiocentesis 1200 ml of sanguinous fluid evacuated in cath lab 100 ml drained overnight, hgb stable Drain removed after 3 days Urology Consult Foley catheter placed to monitor for hematuria Removed following day with absence of further hematuria 2 days later urine clear, but heme positive Nephrology consult r/o HSP nephritis

23 Clinic, 1 month later INRs relatively stable ( 1.8 to 2.5) as outpatient, no further issues with bleeding Send home monitor application Education

24 Clinic 1 year later INR 3.88 in lab

25 Case Study enoxaparin to warfarin JQ is a 3 yo with PA/IVS s/p extracardiac fenestrated Fontan palliation. Pt presented to clinic about 6 months after palliation with symptoms of decreased exercise tolerance, decreased saturations and pleural effusion. He was admitted and after failing medical management had a stent placed in his Fontan fenestration Enoxaparin initiated that night (6/30)
