Use of Argatroban as a Procedural and Bridging Anticoagulant in a Patient Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy with Concomitant Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract: Argatroban may be an effective anticoagulant during carotid endarterectomy in patients with underlying chronic renal disease and a history of HIT. Additional research is needed to determine the ideal anticoagulant in vascular surgery when heparin cannot be utilized.

“…Non-valvüler atriyal fibrilasyonu olan ve bu sebeple warfarin tedavisi alan hastalarda karotis endarterektomi operasyonu öncesi INR değeri düşene kadar medikasyona fraksiyone heparin ile birlikte devam edilmektedir. Literatürde heparin kaynaklı trombositopeni saptanan ve atriyal fibrilasyonu olan hastalarda warfarin kesildikten sonra argatroban infüzyonunun kullanıldığını bildiren çalışmalar mevcuttur (18).…”

“…Stribling and associates propose to treat the presence HPF4 antibodies in high-risk clinical scenarios with nonheparin anticoagulants or direct thrombin inhibitors [ 13 ]. However, limited evidence is available to guide on the optimal nonheparin anticoagulant to be used during vascular surgery with suspected or documented HIT [ 29 , 30 ]. The ELISA immunoassay is a quantitative test capable of detecting HPF4 antibodies [ 31 ].…”
