Anticoagulation for Prosthetic Valves
Implantation of prosthetic valve requires consideration for anticoagulation. The current guideline recommends warfarin on all mechanical valves. Dabigatran is the new generation anticoagulation medication which is taken orally and does not require frequent monitoring. This drug is approved for treatment for atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism, but the latest large trial showed that t...
متن کاملAnticoagulation in pregnant women with prosthetic heart valves.
The combination of heart disease and pregnancy can present a formidable challenge to the clinician entrusted to care for both the mother and fetus. Since most data is retrospective, a definitive prognosis for such a patient may be difficult to obtain. Nevertheless, certain cardiac conditions carry greater risks of maternal mortality than do others. However, even for certain preexisting conditio...
متن کاملLow-intensity anticoagulation in mechanical cardiac prosthetic valves.
Retrospectively, we reviewed the charts of 101 patients at the University of Kansas Medical Center who received low-intensity anticoagulation for mechanical prosthetic valves implanted over a 17-yr period. The mean duration of follow-up was 4.6 yr, and the total duration of follow-up was 466.5 patient-yr. The patients' records were evaluated for evidence of hemorrhagic or thromboembolic complic...
متن کاملAnticoagulation for Mechanical Heart Valves
Although mechanical heart valves (MHV) are more durable than tissue valves, they are more thrombogenic. Consequently, patients with MHV require long-term anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin. Although effective, warfarin has well-known limitations, including multiple drug and food interactions, and the challenges of coagulation monitoring and maintaining the internationa...
متن کاملPreliminary experience with aspirin for anticoagulation in children with prosthetic cardiac valves.
Twenty-four children (ages 1 to 18 years, mean 12.2 years) underwent 27 operations for aortic, mitral, or combined aortic and mitral valve replacement. There was 1 operative death. Of the 23 operative survivors (12 aortic, 8 mitral, 3 combined valve replacement), only 5 were given warfarin for long-term anticoagulation. The remaining 18 (10 aortic, 8 mitral valve replacement) were given aspirin...
