Anticoagulation in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a decision analysis

Abstract: Systemic anticoagulation may be beneficial in pulmonary arterial hypertension, but there is no randomized clinical trial data to guide therapeutic decision making, and current guidelines do not account for patient preferences or quality of life. Decision analytic models to evaluate the potential risks and benefits of systemic anticoagulation in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients, focusing on the benefit in quality-adjusted life years, may be helpful in clarifying this uncertainty. We constructed a 31-sta… Show more

“…Importantly, in the 12 studies included in the meta-analysis, in almost all of them VKAs were the only OAC used. Furthermore, modelling data seem to confirm the beneficial effect of OAC in idiopathic PAH patients, with a significant improvement in risk of outcomes and gain in terms of quality of life 34 . The use of OAC in CTEPH is pivotally indicated by its thromboembolic origin, even though this indication has not been supported by specific studies and the specific evidence is substantially scarce 2 .…”

“…62 There is limited literature supporting prophylaxis in patients with PAH, and it is controversial whether this data can be applied to patients with ES. 62,65 Currently, there is no clinical data evaluating the risk and benefit of thromboembolic prophylaxis in pregnant patients with ES, and further studies are essential. 62…”

“…However, this is no longer routinely recommended. Jose et al 11 reports differing results regarding the use of anticoagulation in Group 1 pulmonary hypertension patients. Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients were reported to have improved quality-adjusted life years, whereas patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension did not.…”
