چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Based on an experimental model of warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage, we investigated whether the rapid reversal of anticoagulation using prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) or recombinant activated coagulation factor VII (rFVIIa) reduces hematoma volume. METHODS Mice were orally pretreated with warfarin (2 mg/kg). Intracerebral hemorrhage was induced by collagenase injection into the right striatum. Forty-five minutes later, PCC (100 IE/kg), rFVIIa (1 mg/kg), or an equal volume of saline was administered intravenously. Hematoma volume after 24 hours was quantified using a photometric hemoglobin assay. RESULTS International normalized ratio was 4.3±0.4 in saline-treated mice, 0.9±0.1 in rFVIIa mice, and 1.4±0.2 in PCC mice. Intracerebral hemorrhage volume was 29.0±19.7 μL in the saline group (n=7), 8.6±4.3 μL in the rFVIIa group (n=6), and 6.1±1.8 μL in the PCC group (n=7; analysis of variance between-group differences P=0.004; post hoc rFVIIa versus saline P=0.021; PCC versus saline P=0.007). No significant difference was found between PCC- and rFVIIa-treated animals. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that PCC and rFVIIa are equally effective in restoring coagulation and preventing excessive hematoma growth in acute warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage.

Comparative effectiveness of hemostatic therapy in experimental warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE intracerebral hemorrhage associated with oral anticoagulants has a poor prognosis. Current treatment guidelines are based on case series and plausibility only, and a common consensus on effective hemostatic therapy is missing. We compared the effectiveness of diverse hemostatic approaches in a mouse model of warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS male C57...

Preparation of factor VII concentrate using CNBr-activated

  Background: Factor VII concentrates are used in patients with congenital or acquired factor VII deficiency or treatment of hemophilia patients with inhibitors. In this research, immunoaffinity chromatography was used to purify factor VII from prothrombin complex (Prothrombin-Proconvertin-Stuart Factor-Antihemophilic Factor B or PPSB) which contains coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X. The a...

Prothrombin Complex Concentrates Use in Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

We would treat with 4-factor PCCs because otherwise—with an INR of 1.9—there is a high risk of further expansion of an already large ICH. Without reversal of the anticoagulant effects of warfarin, the patient’s life is at stake. At age 65 years, he has a reasonable chance to recover from a right-sided ICH if treated early and aggressively. In our eyes, early withdrawal of care is not an option!...
