Oral Anticoagulation Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease: CODE-AF Registry
CONCLUSION: Among AF patients with advanced CKD or ESRD on dialysis, DOAC was associated with a lower risk of major or CRNM bleeding compared to warfarin and a lower risk of composite adverse clinical outcomes compared to no OAC.

Long-term outcomes of left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation and end stage renal disease
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term outcomes of LAAO therapy may be less favorable in patients with AF undergoing dialysis, possibly because of the poor condition of patients with ESRD.PMID:37394333 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.06.016

Fatal dabigatran toxicity secondary to acute renal failure
We describe the case of a 74-year-old man taking dabigatran 150 mg twice daily for atrial fibrillation who presented to the emergency department after 20 mL of hematemesis at home. Laboratory evaluation revealed a partial thromboplastin time of 99 seconds, international normalized ratio of 11.7, and creatine of 3.1 mg/dL (baseline creatine, 0.9 mg/dL). Upper endoscopy revealed diffuse gastritis and bleeding. Despite treatment with packed red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma, the patient's hematemesis persisted resulting in significant aspiration requiring endotracheal intubation. Per poison control center recommendation...

Factors Influencing Hospital Length of Stay After Robotic Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions Multiple variables affect LOS after TECAB. Older patients, patients on hemodialysis, patients with cerebrovascular disease, and those with higher general risk scores should expect prolonged LOS. Intraoperative surgical difficulties and conversion to open coronary artery bypass grafting also lead to extended LOS. Postoperative events that are known to prolong LOS in open coronary artery bypass grafting also prolong LOS after TECAB.

Sailing between Scylla and Charybdis: oral long-term anticoagulation in dialysis patients
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients exhibit an increased risk of bleeding compared with non-chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients due to uraemic platelet dysfunction, altered vessel architecture and other factors. This renders any long-term oral anticoagulation potentially difficult. While there is little doubt that ESRD patients with recurrent thromboembolism or a mechanical cardiac valve should receive vitamin K antagonists (coumarins), the use of coumarins in ESRD patients with atrial fibrillation is a matter of debate. In non-CKD patients, current guidelines strongly recommend the use of oral anticoagulants for str...

Case report: hemodialysis for dabigatran overdose
3 out of 5 stars Hemodialysis for the Treatment of Pulmonary Hemorrhage from Dabigatran Overdose. Chen BC et al. Am J Kidney Dis 2013 Apr 15 [Epub ahead of print] Abstract Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is a competitive direct thrombin inhibitor approved in the United States for stroke prophylaxis in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Although dabigatran has certain advantages over coumadin related to issues of dosing and testing, there is no readily available test to measure its anticoagulation effect, and there is no antidote to reverse bleeding. Recommendations for treating a patient with dabigatran-associated hemorr...

Managing New Oral Anticoagulants in the Perioperative and Intensive Care Unit Setting
Managing patients in the perioperative setting receiving novel oral anticoagulation agents for thromboprophylaxis or stroke prevention with atrial fibrillation is an important consideration for clinicians. The novel oral anticoagulation agents include direct Factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban and apixaban, and the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran. In elective surgery, discontinuing their use is important, but renal function must also be considered because elimination is highly dependent on renal elimination. If bleeding occurs in patients who have received these agents, common principles of bleeding management as with an...

Extracorporeal Therapy for Dabigatran Removal in the Treatment of Acute Bleeding: A Single Center Experience.
CONCLUSIONS: Extracorporeal therapy lowered dabigatran concentrations, suggesting that it removed the drug and may effectively accelerate total clearance, especially in patients with impaired kidney function. The use of prolonged intermittent hemodialysis or intermittent hemodialysis followed by continuous renal replacement therapy is recommended for the management of life-threatening bleeding in patients receiving dabigatran. The advantage of extracorporeal therapy should be weighed against the risk of bleeding with catheter insertion. PMID: 23704302 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
