Anticoagulation Therapy With Heparin and Warfarin in Total Knee Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis Knee

Abstract: The authors evaluated the prophylactic protocols with unfractionated heparin (UFH) and warfarin in Japanese patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis knee in regard to bleeding complications. Fifty-six patients who underwent TKA for osteoarthritis knee with the use of methylmethacrylate were included. Subcutaneous UFH and warfarin were administered for thromboprophylaxis to the first group of 26 patients. The second group of 30 patients did not receive any pharmacological thrombop… Show more

“…[2][3][4][5] The reported data show that 10 to 30% of patients have encountered asymptomatic or symptomatic DVT after TKA surgery, detected by color Doppler ultrasonography or radionuclide venography. [6][7][8][9][10] Therefore, prophylactic treatment of anticoagulation is commonly accepted as standard postoperative procedure, [11][12][13] which applies anticoagulation medicine 12 to 24 hours after operation. The time window of anticoagulation application is meant to avoid the increased bleeding caused by early anticoagulation prophylaxis, therefore to reduce the need of blood transfusion.…”
