Antithrombotic
Therapy for VTE
Disease: 10th edition
ALLYSON CORD, PHARMD CANDIDATE 2016
VENOUS
THROMBOEMBOLISM
 DVT: blood clot formed in a vein that partially or
completely blocks circulation
 PE: obstruction of the pulmonary artery or one
of its branches by material that originated
elsewhere in the body (thrombus)
 Causes: Virchow’s triad
 Alterations in blood flow (stasis)
 Vascular endothelial injury
 Hypercoagulable state
 Malignancy, Factor V Leiden mutation, protein S
deficiency, protein C deficiency, antiphospholipid
antibodies, IBD, pregnancy
Clinical Presentation
 DVT
 Unilateral extremity swelling, discoloration, pain,
tenderness
 PE
 SOB
 Chest pain
 Tachypnea
 Tachycardia
 Hypotension (hemodynamically unstable or massive PE)
 SBP <90 mmHg for a period >15 minutes, or requires
vasopressors or inotropic support
http://www.dvtforum.com/index.asp?action=start
Diagnosis
 D-dimer
 Degradation product of fibrin clot
 Sensitive but not specific
 Radiographic contrast studies – venography, pulmonary angiography
 Gold standard
 Most accurate and reliable
 Expensive and invasive
 Ultrasound
 Less invasive
Etiology Classification
 Provoked
 Transient/reversible
 Surgery, pregnancy, immobilization
 Persistent
 Malignancy, indefinite hypercoagulable state
 Unprovoked
 Unidentifiable cause
Anticoagulation
Therapy for VTE
Disease
CHEST GUIDELINE, 10TH ED
Choice of Anticoagulant
 DVT/PE and no cancer (Grade 2B)
 Recommend dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban over VKA therapy, and
VKA therapy over LMWH
 DVT/PE and cancer (Grade 2C)
 Recommend LMWH over dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, or VKA
therapy
 No need to change the choice of anticoagulant after the first 3 months of
therapy (Grade 2C)
NOAC > VKA > LMWH
Cancer = LMWH
NOAC evidence
 4 new RCTs and extensive clinical experience
 Risk reduction similar between NOACs and VKA
 Risk reduction greater with LMWH than VKA in patients with cancer
 Risk reduction seems to be similar between all NOACs
 No direct comparison
 Risk of bleeding less with NOACs than VKA
 GI bleeding may be higher, though
 Risk may be less with apixaban
 Risk of fatal bleeding similar between VKA and NOACs
 Conclusion, less bleeding and greater convenience with NOACs

Thrombophilia
 Recommended treatment: UFH or LMWH followed by VKA
 Sufficient data not available regarding safety and efficacy of NOACs in patients
with thrombophilia
 RAPS: rivaroxaban vs enoxaparin with warfarin in APS
 Antithrombin deficiency
 Heparin resistance – need larger doses
 Not as much AT for heparin to reduce
 Protein C deficiency
 Warfarin-induced skin necrosis
Duration of Anticoagulant Therapy
 Active treatment = 3-6 months
 Secondary prophylaxis
 Primary risk factor – provoked vs unprovoked
 Provoked by transient/reversible risk factor = lowest risk of recurrence
 3 months
 Unprovoked/unidentifiable = moderately high risk of recurrence
 Base duration of therapy on secondary risk factors and bleeding risk
 Provoked by progressive/persistent factor = highest risk of recurrence
 Indefinite therapy
 Secondary risk factors – location and history
 Second episode = indefinite therapy
 UE or isolated distal (unprovoked or transient provoked) = 3 months
Indefinite therapy
only recommend in
low-moderate
bleeding risk!
Management of Recurrent VTE on
Anticoagulant Therapy
 Unusual occurrence so reevaluate:
 Diagnosis
 Compliance
 Underlying malignancy
 If occurs while on therapeutic VKA or NOAC therapy, suggest switching to
LMWH therapy at least temporarily
 At least 1 month
 If occurs while on long-term LMWH, suggest increasing dose by 1/4 -1/3
Aspirin for Extended Treatment of VTE
 “In patients with an unprovoked proximal DVT or PE who are stopping
anticoagulant therapy and do not have a contraindication to aspirin, we
suggest aspirin over no aspirin to prevent recurrent VTE (Grade 2B).”
 Not a reasonable alternative
 80% reduction vs 30%
 Additional indications
Systemic Thrombolytic Therapy for PE
 Suggested indications for thrombolytic use
 PE associated with hypotension
 Acute PE that deteriorates after starting anticoagulant therapy
 Suggest using a peripheral vein over catheter-directed thrombolysis
 Only use if low risk of bleeding!
 If massive PE with high bleeding risk, failed systemic thrombolysis, or
shock, suggest catheter-assisted thrombus removal
 Only if appropriate expertise and resources available
Compression Stockings to Prevent PTS
 “In patients with acute DVT of the leg, we suggest not using compression
stockings routinely to prevent PTS (Grade 2B)”
 Post-thrombotic syndrome: chronic complication of DVT resulting in chronic
venous insufficiency
 Larger RCT showed no benefit
 A trial of compression stockings may be tried for s/s associated with PTS
Whether to Anticoagulate
Subsegmental PE
 Subsegmental PE: no involvement of the more proximal pulmonary arteries
 Low risk of recurrent VTE  clinical surveillance
 As long as no DVT also present
 More likely a false positive or arose from a small DVT
 High risk of recurrent VTE  anticoagulation
 Evaluate bleeding risk
Treatment of Acute PE Out of the
Hospital
 “In patients with low-risk PE and whose home circumstances are adequate,
we suggest treatment at home or early discharge over standard discharge
(Grade 2B).”
 Standard discharge: after first 5 days of treatment
Summary
 Non-Cancer: NOAC > VKA > LMWH
 Cancer: LMWH
 Recurrent: Switch to LMWH or increase LMWH dose
 ASA: consider upon anticoagulant d/c
 Thrombolytic: only in massive or deteriorating PE
 Compression stockings: do not routinely use
 Subsegmental: base therapy on risk

  • 22. Duration of Anticoagulant Therapy  Active treatment = 3-6 months  Secondary prophylaxis  Primary risk factor – provoked vs unprovoked  Provoked by transient/reversible risk factor = lowest risk of recurrence  3 months  Unprovoked/unidentifiable = moderately high risk of recurrence  Base duration of therapy on secondary risk factors and bleeding risk  Provoked by progressive/persistent factor = highest risk of recurrence  Indefinite therapy  Secondary risk factors – location and history  Second episode = indefinite therapy  UE or isolated distal (unprovoked or transient provoked) = 3 months Indefinite therapy only recommend in low-moderate bleeding risk!
  • 23. Management of Recurrent VTE on Anticoagulant Therapy  Unusual occurrence so reevaluate:  Diagnosis  Compliance  Underlying malignancy  If occurs while on therapeutic VKA or NOAC therapy, suggest switching to LMWH therapy at least temporarily  At least 1 month  If occurs while on long-term LMWH, suggest increasing dose by 1/4 -1/3
  • 24. Aspirin for Extended Treatment of VTE  “In patients with an unprovoked proximal DVT or PE who are stopping anticoagulant therapy and do not have a contraindication to aspirin, we suggest aspirin over no aspirin to prevent recurrent VTE (Grade 2B).”  Not a reasonable alternative  80% reduction vs 30%  Additional indications
  • 25. Systemic Thrombolytic Therapy for PE  Suggested indications for thrombolytic use  PE associated with hypotension  Acute PE that deteriorates after starting anticoagulant therapy  Suggest using a peripheral vein over catheter-directed thrombolysis  Only use if low risk of bleeding!  If massive PE with high bleeding risk, failed systemic thrombolysis, or shock, suggest catheter-assisted thrombus removal  Only if appropriate expertise and resources available

Compression Stockings to Prevent PTS  “In patients with acute DVT of the leg, we suggest not using compression stockings routinely to prevent PTS (Grade 2B)”  Post-thrombotic syndrome: chronic complication of DVT resulting in chronic venous insufficiency  Larger RCT showed no benefit  A trial of compression stockings may be tried for s/s associated with PTS
  • 27. Whether to Anticoagulate Subsegmental PE  Subsegmental PE: no involvement of the more proximal pulmonary arteries  Low risk of recurrent VTE  clinical surveillance  As long as no DVT also present  More likely a false positive or arose from a small DVT  High risk of recurrent VTE  anticoagulation  Evaluate bleeding risk
  • 28. Treatment of Acute PE Out of the Hospital  “In patients with low-risk PE and whose home circumstances are adequate, we suggest treatment at home or early discharge over standard discharge (Grade 2B).”  Standard discharge: after first 5 days of treatment
  • 29. Summary  Non-Cancer: NOAC > VKA > LMWH  Cancer: LMWH  Recurrent: Switch to LMWH or increase LMWH dose  ASA: consider upon anticoagulant d/c  Thrombolytic: only in massive or deteriorating PE  Compression stockings: do not routinely use  Subsegmental: base therapy on risk

Editor's Notes

  1. D-dimer elevated in acute thrombosis
  2. Recommended for cancer treatment and required prior to starting some of the oral anticoagulants
  3. Fairly easy dosing
  4. Complicated dosing
  5. No change but more evidence. Cancer – continue for 3 months after cancer-free
  6. Addition
  7. New addition: Asa therapy may be beneficial in patients who d/c anticoagulant therapy if no Cis. But better than nothing. Use of aspirin should also be reevaluated when patients stop anticoagulant therapy because aspirin may have been stopped when anticoagulants were started.
  8. Revision, more clarification Deterioration – tachycardia, BP decrease, worsening gas exchange, shock, cardiac markers More evidence supporting systemic than CDT
  9. Revised
  10. New addition
  11. Revision
