Anticoagulation in Patients with Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease: Walking the Fine Line between Benefit and Harm
Publication date: Available online 11 July 2019Source: Canadian Journal of CardiologyAuthor(s): Januvi Jegatheswaran, Gregory L. Hundemer, David Massicotte-Azarniouch, Manish M. SoodAbstractChronic kidney disease affects over 3 million Canadians and is highly associated with cardiovascular diseases that require anticoagulation, such as atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. Patients with chronic kidney disease are at a problematic crossroads; they are at high risk of both thrombotic conditions requiring anticoagulation and bleeding complications due to anticoagulation. The limited high-quality clinical evidence to...

Thrombotic and Bleeding Outcomes Following Perioperative Interruption of Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Vitamin K Antagonists in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation - a Comparative Analysis
Conclusions: The perioperative interruption of warfarin was associated with a higher 30-day rate of major bleeding as compared with DOAC interruption. Re-initiation of warfarin should be done judiciously following high bleeding risk procedures, and close INR monitoring may be warranted.DisclosuresShaw: Portola Pharmaceuticals: Research Funding.
