Second day of @Smart_Meeting_M

Professor @giovannilandoni talking about management of #anticoagulant in #perioperative patients 💉

✅You surely all know how to deal with #antithrombotic and #regionalanesthesia, here the guidelines:

💡Let's focus on perioperative #DOAC /#NOAC / #TSOAC

➡️Consider both #surgical blood loss risk and #patient characteristics.

⚠️Remember NOT to bridge with #LMWH or #UFH.

What if it's not an elective patient??

Use #reversal agents when needed❗

🔹#Idarucizumab for #dabigatran
🔹#Andexanet for #apixaban and #rivaroxaban

🚨🚨📢📢 1/ Beyond thrilled to have our article published in @JACCJournals: “Direct Oral Anticoagulants vs Vitamin-K Antagonists in Thrombotic Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials”
jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…
Key findings highlighted ⬇️
2/ #DOAC are now the standard treatment for many patients with #VTE or for those who require prevention of stroke and systemic embolism, particularly in the setting of non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
3/ A few RCTs compared #DOAC vs #VKA for treatment of patients with thrombotic APS and raised concern for ⬆️ thrombotic events with #DOAC compared to #VKA, particularly arterial thrombosis. Not sufficiently powered to assess individual thrombotic outcomes or to analyze subgroups.

Perioperative #DOAC management. Important differences between PAUSE and ASRA. How can we come to consensus? Dr Douketis is proposing PAUSE-2 trial aiming for a single approach. #ISTH2022 ImageImageImage
He performed a small, pilot study to assess feasibility of randomizing to ASRA vs PAUSE approach. High level of consent in this cohort. Will other sites be willing to randomize? I hope so! #ISTH2022 ImageImageImageImage
Interestingly, both approaches had similarly low #DOAC drug levels. How well protocols were followed and impact of renal function will be important to explore. #ISTH2022 Image

In our @JAMA_current editorial, we tackle a timely question in #CardioTwitter: should we recommend #apixaban or #rivaroxaban as first-line anticoagulant for #Afib?The two #DOACs are not interchangeable for bleeding or stroke. Let's review all RCTs & RWE🧵
jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… Image
Why should you care? Why now? 1) >70% of #Medicare pts on anticoagulation are taking #DOACs, practically replacing warfarin 2) Generic DOACs will enter the market in 2022, massively ⬆️ patient access & use 3) Insurance companies may not cover all DOACs in their formularies 💵💊 Image
RCTs first: in ROCKET-AF (n=14K pts), riva was NON-INFERIOR to warfarin for stroke (per-protocol)🧠, w/ similar rates of major/non-major bleed🩸. In ARISTOTLE (n=18K pts), apixa was SUPERIOR to warfarin for stroke (ITT)🧠 AND w significantly⬇️ major bleed🩸, AND even⬇️mortality. Image

Don’t miss a new accredited #tweetorial launching TOMORROW here on @cardiomet_CE. #Emergencymedicine #thrombosis researcher @md_pollack will be discussing safe, effective management of selected patients with venous thromboembolism (#VTE) from the #emergencydepartment.
It used to be SOOO much more complicated, but since we entered the era of the #DOACs, #lifeisgood! #Physicians #nurses #pharamcists all work together to make it happen, and all can earn CE/#CME here! @AlexSpyropoul @ScottKaatz @RenatoDLopes1 @GenoMerli @aakonc @vic_tapson

Ever wonder if all #DOACs were created equal? #GITwitter #livertwitter #MedTwitter

Let's start with a poll followed by a #tweetorial on direct oral anticoagulants. First things first, which is your go-to choice of #DOAC ? (COI: none):
2/
These agents work "directly" to anti-coagulate and since they are hardly "new' anymore the term #NOAC has become obsolete. Dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor (factor IIa), whereas the others are factor Xa inhibitors (note the Xa in their names)

3/
In general they share many characteristics such as a quick onset of action, shorter half-lives, potential for drug-drug interactions (CYP3A4 & P-gp) and renal elimination (except apixaban) when compared with warfarin

‘Overall, #antiplatelet monotherapy is ineffective for #stroke prevention [for #AtrialFibrillation] & potentially harmful (especially #elderly), whereas #DAPT associated with bleeding risk similar to OAC. Hence, antiplatelets should not be used for #stroke prevention in #AF
2020 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of #AtrialFibrillation #ESCCongress : academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…
‘Between 2009 & 2018, in #England, the use of #OAC for #stroke prophylaxis in #AtrialFibrillation increased, with #DOAC accounting for over half of OAC uptake in 2018.’

This population-based, multicentre, 10-year study of the use of oral #anticoagulants for #stroke prophylaxis for ~0.5M patients with #AFib found that their prescription for patients with #AF at high risk of stroke increased by nearly 60%.
Between 2009 & 2018, 3352 individual General Practices provided a total of 5968 uploads into the GRASP-AF database. From the first upload per General Practice, there were an estimated 450 518 patients with #AFib from a total of 24 644 210 people.
Over the study period the prevalence of AF was 1.8% [95% CI 1.7–1.9%], which increased from 1.6% (1.5–1.7%) in 2009 to 2.4% (2.3–2.5%) in 2018 (P-trend < 0.001). Image
