چکیده

Case Presentation A 65 year-old Caucasian male originally presented to an outside hospital complaining of worsening paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, and recent exertional chest pain associated with dyspnea. The patient’s past medical history was significant for coronary artery disease status post coronary bypass, severe aortic stenosis status post bioprosthetic aortic valve repair, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation on anticoagulation, dual-chamber pacemaker placement, history of a transient ischemic attack, and type diabetes mellitus. At the outside hospital, coronary angiography revealed occlusion of native vessels and previous grafts. He was considered a poor surgical candidate. He was transferred to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH) for a second opinion regarding percutaneous versus surgical intervention.

Hemorrhagic events in patients receiving heparin or enoxaparin in combination with Oral antithrombotics, NSAIDs, and antiplatelet medications: A multi-center case-series study

Background: Hemorrhagic events are amongst the major adverse effects of injectable anticoagulants such as heparin and enoxaparin. This necessitates close monitoring of their use for clinically relevant drug-drug interactions. Aim: To study the rate of hemorrhagic events, the anatomical site, and the severity of the hemorrhage in patients receiving heparin or enoxaparin in combination with clop...

Intracranial hemorrhage in patients with brain metastases treated with therapeutic enoxaparin: a matched cohort study.

Venous thromboembolism occurs frequently in patients with cancer who have brain metastases, but there is limited evidence supporting the safety of therapeutic anticoagulation. To assess the risk for intracranial hemorrhage associated with the administration of therapeutic doses of low-molecular-weight heparin, we performed a matched, retrospective cohort study of 293 patients with cancer with b...

Randomized evaluation of the safety and efficacy of enoxaparin versus unfractionated heparin in high-risk patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes receiving the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide.

BACKGROUND Current pharmacotherapeutic options for high-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients include aspirin, clopidogrel, heparin, and platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition. A key issue of uncertainty is the safety and efficacy of combination glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor and low-molecular-weight heparin therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS We randomized 746 patients ...
