Administration of anticoagulation strategies for portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis: network meta-analysis.

Front Pharmacol

January 2025

Center for Evidence-Based Medicine and Clinical Research, Taihe Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine, Shiyan, Hubei, China.

Objectives: Evidences for anticoagulation strategies in cirrhotic with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are still insufficient. This study aims to comprehensively compare the therapeutic effects of different therapeutic therapeutic measures in individuals suffering from cirrhosis with PVT, with the ultimate goal of providing evidence-based recommendations for thrombolytic therapy in this population.

Methods: Starting from 20 October 2023, a comprehensive search about therapeutic strategies for portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis was conducted on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library.

Article Synopsis
  • * The review emphasizes that patients on antiplatelet therapy (like ASA and clopidogrel) don't need to stop their medication before surgery, while those on warfarin should receive vitamin K for reversal to facilitate timely surgery.
  • * Direct oral anticoagulants should be paused 24-48 hours pre-surgery, with possible use of antidotes in critical cases, and neuraxial anesthesia can be safely used under certain conditions regarding anticoagulant status.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a predominant contributor to morbidity and mortality, and stroke prevention remains the mainstay for the management of AF. The precise mechanism involved in thrombus formation remains unknown. However, factors such as stretch-induced fibrosis, endothelial dysfunction, disordered atrial contractions, and pro-thrombotic states have been postulated for the development of AF.

Objective: To determine maternal and fetal outcomes in postoperative women with rheumatic heart disease who become pregnant after valve surgery and evaluate current anticoagulation management during pregnancy.

Methods: Data from the Rwandan rheumatic heart disease cardiac surgical registry identified all female patients who underwent valve surgery before or during childbearing age since 2006. In total, 136 participants completed a mixed-methods questionnaire detailing each pregnancy after surgery, including anticoagulation regimen and outcomes.
