TICLOPIDINE AND CLOPIDOGREL
• Antiplatelet agents are used to treat, prevent arterial thrombosis.
• Thienopyridine derivatives,inactive in vitro, requiring metabolism to achieve in vivo activity.
• Inhibit binding of ADP to platelet receptor, inhibiting fibrinogen binding to the IIb/IIIa complex.
TICOLPIDINE/CLOPIDOGREL• In CAD stenting, ticlopidine reduces
risk for subacute stent thrombosis • Clopidogrel reduces ischemic events
with recent MI, stroke, or PVD• Clopidogrel + aspirin in stenting, is
rapidly growing, given before stenting procedure
• Bleeding variability for cardiac surgery relates to the duration of therapy
TICOLPIDINE and CABG Anesth Analg 1999;88:SCA 105
• 96/1166 CABG pts receiving ticlopidine• 83% of ticlop pt also on ASA, 28% ticlop
pt were urgent vs 9% • Blood loss >1500 ml/24 hr more
frequent in ticlop (14% vs 5%)• 62% ticlop pts received allogneic blood
vs 45%• pRBC Tx 2 units vs 0• Post op CT drain >30% in ticlop.
HEMOSTATIC GOALS FOR CARDIAC SURGERY
• Prevent clotting for cannulation and initiation of extracorporeal circulation
• Reverse anticoagulation in a safe and complete manner.
• Prevent the inflammatory effects of CPB and contact activation
FACTORS AFFECTING ACT• Factor deficiency: fibrinogen, XII,
VIII• Contact activation inhibitors:
aprotinin• Warfarin therapy• Heparin therapy• Hypothermia• Thrombocytopenia/cytosis• Platelet inhibitors
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANAGING
PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTIPLATELET AGENTS
AND REQUIRING CARDIAC SURGERY:
SAFETYBased on the data in press and published, urgent cardiac surgery can be safely performed on patients who have received abciximab or one of the other GpIIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors.
BLEEDINGAlthough the relative risk of abciximab-related bleeding may be increased within 12 hrs, this should not preclude urgent CABG. Platelets may be needed, and should be available when operating on abciximab-tx pts.
HEPARIN DOSINGThere are no data to support reductions in heparin dosing during CPB and for cardiac surgery. Therefore, standard-loading doses should be considered and additional heparin doses, based on time and duration of bypass or on actual heparin levels, should be maintained.
PLATELETS
Platelets can be transfused to correct the bleeding defects associated with abciximab use. However, patients should not receive routine platelet transfusion prior to surgery and CPB. Rather, platelets should be administered after heparin reversal by protamine and after CPB.
SUMMARY: PLATELET INHIBITORS AND CARDIAC
SURGERY
• Do not transfuse with platelets before CPB
• Normal heparin doses• Platelet transfusions when
needed after CPB
