Abstract
Objective
Conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) or intravenous cangrelor to prevent thromboembolism in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with heparin.
Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Setting
N/A.
Participants
Adults having cardiac surgery with a history of HIT who received preoperative or intraoperative TPE or intravenous cangrelor as an adjunct to CPB with heparin.
Interventions
None
Measurements and Main Results
A systematic review was performed using MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The primary outcome was avoidance of thromboembolism (venous or arterial) during or after CPB. Proportional meta-analysis with a random effects model was used to calculate a weighted-pooled proportion/efficacy for the study's primary outcome. Fifty-seven patients in 17 reports received TPE as an adjunctive treatment to prevent HIT-related thrombosis related to heparinization during CPB and 3 (5.3%) experienced thrombosis. Proportional meta-analysis suggested a weighted-pooled freedom from perioperative thromboembolism rate of 91.0% (95% CI 82.6%-96.9%). Fifteen patients in 6 reports received intravenous cangrelor as an adjunctive treatment to prevent HIT-related thrombosis related to heparinization during CPB and 2 (13.3%) experienced thrombosis. Proportional meta-analysis suggested a weighted-pooled freedom from perioperative thromboembolism rate of 83.0% (95% CI 61.2%- 97.6%).
Conclusions
TPE and cangrelor are feasible strategies to prevent thromboembolism in adults with HIT who require CPB with heparin. Given the relatively small number of cases in the published literature and a high likelihood for publication and detection biases, prudence remains warranted when using these strategies.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia is primarily aimed at anesthesiologists who deal with patients undergoing cardiac, thoracic or vascular surgical procedures. JCVA features a multidisciplinary approach, with contributions from cardiac, vascular and thoracic surgeons, cardiologists, and other related specialists. Emphasis is placed on rapid publication of clinically relevant material.
