PG - 3221-3232 LID - 10.1007/s00210-023-02533-2 [doi] AB - We investigated in vitro the management of intraprocedural anticoagulation in patients requiring immediate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while using regular direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Twenty-five patients taking 20 mg of rivaroxaban once daily comprised the study group, while five healthy volunteers included the control group. In the study group, a beginning (24 h after the last rivaroxaban dose) examination was performed. Then, the effects of basal and four different anticoagulant doses (50 IU/kg unfractionated heparin (UFH), 100 IU/kg UFH, 0.5 mg/kg enoxaparin, and 1 mg/kg enoxaparin) on coagulation parameters were investigated at the 4th and 12th h following rivaroxaban intake. The effects of four different anticoagulant doses were evaluated in the control group. The anticoagulant activity was assessed mainly by anti-factor Xa (anti-Xa) levels. Beginning anti-Xa levels were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (0.69 +/- 0.77 IU/mL vs. 0.20 +/- 0.14 IU/mL; p < 0.05). The study group's 4th and 12th-h anti-Xa levels were significantly higher than the beginning level (1.96 +/- 1.35 IU/mL vs. 0.69 +/- 0.77 IU/mL; p < 0.001 and 0.94 +/- 1.21 IU/mL vs. 0.69 +/- 0.77 IU/mL; p < 0.05, respectively). Anti-Xa levels increased significantly in the study group with the addition of UFH and enoxaparin doses at the 4th and 12th h than the beginning (p < 0.001 at all doses). The safest anti-Xa level (from 0.94 +/- 1.21 to 2.00 +/- 1.02 IU/mL) was achieved 12 h after rivaroxaban with 0.5 mg/kg enoxaparin. Anticoagulant activity was sufficient for urgent PCI at the 4th h after rivaroxaban treatment, and additional anticoagulant administration may not be required at this time. Twelve hours after taking rivaroxaban, administering 0.5 mg/kg of enoxaparin may provide adequate and safe anticoagulant activity for immediate PCI. This experimental study result should confirm with clinical trials (NCT05541757). CI - (c) 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
