7 Stasis of blood The rate of blood flow is slow in the lower extremities. Contraction of the calf and thigh muscles work with valves in the deep veins of the leg to facilitate blood flow Vessel obstruction External compression or a thrombus promotes clot aggregation Hypercoagulability Inherited disorders Yusen R, Eby C, Gage B. Disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis. In:Foster C, Mistry N, Peddi P. The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics. 33 rd ed. Philadelphia, Pa: 2010.

8 Platelet Plug Formation On vascular injury, platelets adhere to the site of injury. Platelet adhesion results in subsequent activation and aggregation. During platelet aggregation, additional platelets are recruited from the circulation to the site of vascular injury, leading to the formation of an occlusive platelet thrombus. The platelet plug is anchored and stabilized by the developing fibrin mesh. Yusen R, Eby C, Gage B. Disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis. In:Foster C, Mistry N, Peddi P. The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics. 33 rd ed. Philadelphia, Pa: 2010.

9 Clotting factors normally circulate inactive. Two pathways of blood coagulation: extrinsic and intrinsic. Coagulation is initiated by tissue factor (TF) exposure. TF with FVIIa, activates FIX and FX. FIXa binds to FVIII activating FX to form FXa. FXa binds FV which converts prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin activates FXIII that cross-links fibrin to form a stabilized clot. Yusen R, Eby C, Gage B. Disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis. In:Foster C, Mistry N, Peddi P. The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics. 33 rd ed. Philadelphia, Pa: 2010.

10 The intact endothelium adjacent to the damaged tissue actively secretes several antithrombotic substances. Thrombomodulin causes protein C to convert to its active form activated protein C (apc). When joined with its cofactor protein S, apc inactivates FVa and FVIIIa regulating coagulating complexes. Antithrombin (or antithrombin III) neutralizes thrombin Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) Yusen R, Eby C, Gage B. Disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis. In:Foster C, Mistry N, Peddi P.

17 Major General Surgery Abdominal or thoracic operation requiring general anesthesia lasting > 30 minutes. Coronary artery bypass Surgery for gynecological malignancies Major urological surgery Nuerosurgery Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

18 Major Orthopedic Surgery Lower extremity orthopedic operations are high risk Without prophylaxis, ½ of the patients undergoing elective total hip or knee replacement develop VTE Only 5% manifest symptoms of VTE Arthroscopic knee surgery is low risk prophylaxis is optional. Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

19 Spinal Cord Injury Overall incidence of DVT within 3 months of paralytic injury is 38% Development of PE is 5% Greatest risk is within first 2 weeks after injury Gradual atrophy of the leg muscles may cause individuals to develop small caliber collateral viens around old venous thrombi that completely obstruct the major deep leg veins. Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

20 Multiple Trauma DVT in 47% of trauma patients, including proximal DVT in 12%. DVT found in 56% of patient with lower limb orthopedic or pelvic injury 40% of patients in whom primary site of injury was face, chest or abdomen had DVT as well Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

21 Malignancy VTE increases 2 to 3 fold in patients undergoing surgery for malignant disease vs nonmalignant surgeries Advanced cancers are associated with a high incidence of VTE High incidence in breast, lung, brain, pelvis, rectum, pancreas and GI tract. Chemo drugs increase risk Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

22 Myocardial Infarction MI is associated with DVT The VTE risk of pts hospitalized with acute MI is comparable to that of moderate-risk general surgery pts Similar associations age, bed rest and venous stasis. Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

23 Congestive Heart or Respiratory Failure Medical Patients with Enoxaparin (MEDENOX) trial. 15% of pts Class III or IV had confirmed episode of VTE. Prevention of Cardiopulmonary Disease with Enoxaparin (PRINCE) study developed VTE Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

24 Prior VTE Previous episodes of VTE increase risk of reoccurrence, especially in high risk conditions In study, pts with h/o VTE were 8 times more likely to develop a new episode. Age Pt > 40 VTE is rare in children and young pts typically have strong predisposing factors such as multiple traumas, leg fractures, indwelling central venous lines Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

25 Immobility 15% of pts on bed rest for < 1weekhave risk of venous thrombosis The incidence rose to 80% in pts in bed longer than 1 week Hemiplegia 60% in paralyzed limbs of stroke pts compared with 7% in non paralyzed Prolonged immobility combined with other major risk factors increases the likelihood of VTE Economy class syndrome Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

26 Varicose Veins Weak risk factor. Decreases with age: odds ratios 4.2 at 45 years, 1.9 at 60 years and 0.9 at 75 years. VTE is reduced after surgical removal Obesity No association with excess weight. Morbid obesity risk alone is low. Pregnancy the absolute risk of VTE during pregnancy or postpardum is low Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al. Pharmacotherapy: a pathophysiologic approach 9e.USA: McGraw-Hill; accessed may 2015

27 Pregnancy PE is a leading cause of maternal death after childbirth. 1 per 1000 births, 1 fatal PE per 100,000 births. The incidence of DVT was similar for pregnant and non pregnant women of similar age, but incidence was 20 times higher during postpartum period vs non-pregnant period. VTE in pregnancy is increased by smoking, prior VTE and inherited thrombophilias. Dipiro J, Talbert R, Yee G, et al.

70 Pregnancy Commonly used for the treatment and prevention of DVT/PE UFH and LMWH are preferred because they do not cross the placenta. Warfarin is a category X Women of childbearing age taking warfarin should be on contraception. Dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban should be avoided.

71 Pediatrics Primarily secondary to prematurity, cancer, trauma, surgery, congential heart disease and lupus. Typically develop DVT associated with indwelling catheters. Rarely develop idiopathic VTE. UFH and warfarin are the most widely used. LMWH is recommended due to low drug interaction profile and less frequency laboratory testing. Recommend anti-factor Xa levels between 0.5 and 1 unit/ml.

72 Cancer Therapy should continue for 3-6 months. Anticoagulation should continue for as long as the cancer is active and while the patient is receiving antitumor therapy The American Society of Clinical Oncology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommend LMWH for these patients, but most continue to receive warfarin LMWH are expected to be an advantage in metastatic disease, treatment with aggressive chemotherapy, liver dysfunction, poor nutritional status

73 Risk Factors for Major Bleeding While Taking Anticoagulation Therapy Anticoagulation intensity Initiation of therapy (1 st few days and weeks) Unstable anticoagulation response Age >65 Concurrent antiplatelet therapy Concurrent NSAIDs use history of GI Bleeding

74 Risk Factors for Major Bleeding While Taking Anticoagulation Therapy Recent surgery or trauma High risk for fall/trauma Heavy alcohol use Renal failure Cerebrovascular disease Malignancy

75 Warfarin INR > 4.5 without evidence of bleeding may lower by withholding warfarin and adjusting warfarin. Vitamin K can be administered parentally or orally but oral rout e preferred. INR and no bleed routine use or vitamin K has not been shown to affect the risk of developing subsequent bleeding or thromboembolism vs withholding warfarin alone. INR > 10 without bleed suggest oral vitamin k 2.5mg
