Ticagrelor vs clopidogrel when coadministered with bivalirudin in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
CONCLUSION: As an initial treatment strategy, bivalirudin plus ticagrelor could reduce the 12-month risk of ischemic events compared with bivalirudin plus clopidogrel significantly without increasing the bleeding risk in ACS patients undergoing PCI.PMID:38623472 | PMC:PMC11017352 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102375 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Tranexamic acid for management of heavy vaginal bleeding: barriers to access and myths surrounding its use
Res Pract Thromb Haemost. 2024 Mar 19;8(3):102389. doi: 10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102389. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTTranexamic acid is safe and effective for the treatment of heavy vaginal bleeding during menstruation and childbirth. It improves the quality of life, facilitates participation in school and work, and reduces the risk of death from postpartum hemorrhage. Despite its well-established benefits, individual- and structural-level barriers preclude its widespread utilization, hindering effective patient care and perpetuating health inequities in women's health. We first describe the evidence for the use of tranexamic ...

The other 2 laboratory criteria are anticardiolipin antibodies and anti-beta2-glycoprotein I antibodies. At least 1 of these antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) tests need to be positive, with evidence of persistence, together with evidence of at least 1 clinical criterion for APS, before a patient can be classified as having definite APS. LA and other aPL assays are als...

Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation who Survived from Bleeding Event: The Results from COOL-AF Thailand Registry
CONCLUSION: Patients with AF who have bleeding events have an increased risk for subsequent death and stroke and systemic embolism. These patients should be identified as vulnerable clinically complex patients and require a holistic approach to their AF management.PMID:38626898 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1786028 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Practical Suggestions for an Optimal Management of Vitamin K Antagonists: Italian Federation of Centers for the Diagnosis of Thrombotic Disorders and the Surveillance of the Antithrombotic Therapies (FCSA) Position Paper
Thromb Haemost. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1055/s-0044-1782688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the era of direct oral anticoagulants, vitamin K antagonists retain a clinically relevant role in thrombotic disorders. In Italy, approximately 20% of the patients on anticoagulant therapies receives a VKA, in most cases warfarin. The optimal management of this drug is challenging and cannot disregard its intricate and unpredictable pharmacokinetic properties and patient's thrombotic and bleeding risk. Several clinical issues encountered during warfarin treatment are still unanswered and are tentatively addressed by physicians. In th...
