Prospective Cohort All pts followed 3 mo post op 362 patients with complete thrombophilia testing 165 (46%) had a defined thrombophilia Bridging was not randomized but equally distributed During follow-up, there were no thromboembolic events
Why? • The risk of perioperative thrombosis is NOT
predicted by thrombophilia alone.
How? • Inquire detailed anticoagulation indication Hx.
– Time since VTE, Cancer related?
What? • Avoid high dose bridging in non Cancer patients
Why? • The t ½ of Enoxaparin is 4.5 h
Study: Consecutive patients who had bridging
Enoxaparin, 1 mg/kg of body weight, twice daily.
The last dose was administered the evening before surgery.
Blood anti–factor Xa heparin levels measured shortly before surgery.
Average pre op anti-Xa heparin level was 0.6 U/mL.

Case 2
• PCP Coumadin per Cardiology
• Cardiology: – 10/25 last dose coumadin

• Procedure:

• POD 7 complains about chest bruise.
Why? • Bridging does not reduce cardioembolic stroke
risk in AF patients
HAVE to Bridge? Thrombosis risk
• 1 RCT of no bridging vs. bridging (BRIDGE trial)
– non-inferior for outcome of ATE: 0.4% vs. 0.3%
– superior for outcome of major bleeding: 1.3% vs. 3.2%
(17% with prior stroke/TIA, <5% with CHADS2 5-6)
• >10 non-randomized observational studies
– similar finding of low rates of ATE (<0.5%)
– higher rates of major bleeding with bridging (4-7%)

Not statistically different.
MHV
Continuing Anticoagulants around Cardiac Procedures
• Cardiac procedures
– pacemaker/ICD implantation
– AV node ablation
• RCTs: continuing VKA or DOAC vs. interruption + bridging
– BRUISECONTROL-1 (VKA continuation with INR <3)
– BRUISECONTROL-2 (dabigatran continuation)
– VKA continuation (vs. interruption + bridging) confers lower risk for pocket hematoma (3.5 vs. 16%; P<0.01)

mg BID
– hypertension, diabetes, TIA 10 years ago
(CHADS2 = 5)
– CrCl = 50 mL/min
• Scheduled for elective colon resection Monday 9AM, for incidentally found colon cancer…
Case 3
• “We recommend a 5 half-life interval between discontinuation of a NOAC and a medium- to high-risk procedure.”
• “If the risk of VTE is high, we recommend LMWH bridging during the stoppage of the NOAC with the LMWH discontinued 24 hours before the procedure.”
• “We could not provide strength and grading of recommendations as there are not enough well-designed studies concerning interventional pain procedures to support such grading.”

Narouze S, et al. Reg Anesth Pain Med 2015
2015 ASRA/ESRA Guidelines on Periprocedure DOAC Management
Why? • The t ½ of DOACs is short but renally modified
Is bridging needed during DOAC interruption?
• No RCTs of bridging vs. no bridging
• Sub-studies of AF RCTs (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban) looked at patients who had treatment interruption for procedures, but…
– bridging or no bridging NOT randomly allocated
– bridging regimen NOT standardized
– blinding to anticoagulant (warfarin or DOAC)
Douketis J, et al. Thromb Haemost 2014 Garcia D, et al. Blood 2014 Sherwood M, et al. Circulation 2015 Douketis J, et al. JACC 2015 (asbtract)
Is bridging needed during DOAC interruption? (results from RE-LY trial sub-study)
• Prevalence of bridging during anticoagulant interruption • warfarin……..28%
• dabigatran….15% (30-40% in NA and EU countries)
• With dabigatran interruption, bridged patients had more major bleeding than patients not bridged:
6.5% vs. 1.8%; OR = 3.68 (CI: 2.2-6.0)
• Bridged and not bridged groups did not differ for SSE:
0.5% vs. 0.3%; OR = 1.82 (CI: 0.37-9.1)

Scope of the problem
Why and What
Available resources
Cases
Propositions to improve patient care
• Mandatory discussion with cardiology if stent within 12 months.
• Consideration of discussion for all cardiac stents if on any antiplatelets.
• One-year outcome of a prospective trial stopping dual antiplatelet therapy at 3 months after everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent implantation:
ShortT and OPtimal duration of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy after everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent (STOPDAPT) trial.
• At the time an order is placed for a procedure, Epic will flag a patient who is on any anticoagulant or antiplatelet agent other than aspirin
– This needs to be done when a procedure is ordered, NOT when they show up in holding day of surgery.
– This needs to be pervasive.
• OR
• GI lab
• Cath lab
• Other sites and these need to be included in the policy we create.
– These include for anticoagulants warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and betrixaban.
For antiplatelets clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel.
I question if EPIC should bear the responsibility or if it should be the
patient
At least 1/3 of patients seen in the outpatient setting do not have a
correct medication profile.
Patients with non-EPIC providers rarely ever have a correct
medication profile. For both of these patients EPIC as the responsible
notifier will fail.
If we put this responsibility on the patient they need to be provided a
list of the above agents, and I would recommend a written response
from the patient prior to procedure either stating that they are or are
not on it. A verbal no will lead to errors as well with no proper
documentation of this.
Perhaps using both EPIC and patient responses will yield the most
accurate response.
• This should be expanded to all higher risk surgical
patients.
– It may be best to start with anticoagulants and antiplatelets, assess
its success and then role out to others.
– We would need to know the most common reasons for late
cancellation of surgery.
• Failure of being NPO
• Markedly elevated glucose
• Markedly abnormal labs
– CBC
– BMG
– There will likely be a large overlap amongst these patients
• There needs to be a consistent responsible party in each area to decide how to
handle these patients.
– Primary care physician – I do not think there is an adequate consistent fund of
knowledge and also to consider would be delays in communication
– Anesthesia – This would be possible but would be a good amount of added
work by them
– Surgery – Once again possible but also a lot of added work.
– Surgery scheduling – I think this would be the best option
• Not all sites that schedule procedures have the same personnel
– Some utilize an APN or RN, others use a PSA
– There needs to be adequate knowledge by these people to be able to
identify the correct people to speak to, ie:
» Cardiologist for antiplatelets after stent or valve
» Neurologist if on anticoagulant for stroke, or cardiologist for valve
» Vascular or hematology for anticoagulant use due to pulmonary
embolus or DVT.
• This contact point must be where the already approved guidelines are known
and discussed with the ordering physician
– Less than half of the ordering physicians are aware of the various time
period of holding for various types of procedures.
– They need to be asked if it would be safe or in the patient’s best interest to
hold xxx drug for xxx days for xxx procedure.
– If there is a conflict there needs to be communication between the 2
physicians or physician representative.
• Also to be considered is these drugs are often held inappropriately. Current
recommendations for many procedures do not support holding these agents.
– That is a very patient specific decision
• The primary operator should have the first decision as to whether or not
holding it is necessary, if not there is no need to go down the flowsheet.
• The physician responsible for ordering the drug needs to have an
opinion as to whether or not it is safe to hold
– Anticoagulant within 6 weeks of large pulmonary embolus.
– Antiplatelet within 1, 6, or 12 months of stenting.
• These guidelines have been developed with a multidisciplinary team at Northshore, pharmacy will assist in ensuring the proper guidelines are updated on a routine manner and distributed to the appropriate personnel.
