Application of low-intensity anticoagulation after On-X mechanical aortic valve replacement
摘要
To explore the safety and efficacy of low-intensity anticoagulation in patients after On-X mechanical aortic valve replacement.
MethodsA total of 104 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement in Cardiac Surgery Department of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from December 2018 to December 2021 were randomly divided into low-intensity anticoagulant (INR:1.5-2.0) and high-intensity anticoagulant (INR:2.0-2.5) to compare the incidence of adverse events related to postoperative anticoagulation between the two groups.
ResultsFifty-three patients were included in the low-intensity anticoagulation group (INR 1.5-2.0), and 51 patients were included in the high-intensity group (2.0-2.5). There was no significant difference in baseline data and surgical index between the two groups (P > 0.05); there were statistically significant differences in PT, INR and bleeding events (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in embolic events (P > 0.05).
ConclusionFor patients requiring On-X mechanical aortic valve replacement who have no risk factors for thromboembolism, it is appropriate to control the INR in the target range 1.5-2.0, which can reduce the incidence of bleeding adverse events and significantly improve the quality of life, without increasing the risk of thromboembolic adverse events.
