Background
Tissue factor (TF) pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an anticoagulant protein that inhibits factor (F)Xa, the TF-FVIIa-FXa complex, and early forms of the prothrombinase complex. Concizumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks FXa inhibition by TFPI and reduces bleeding in hemophilia.
Objectives
To examine how concizumab impacts various reactions of TFPI to restore thrombin generation in hemophilia A using mathematical models.
Methods
A compartment model was used to estimate plasma concentrations of free concizumab and its complexes with TFPIα and TFPIβ. Concizumab was integrated into a flow-mediated mathematical model of coagulation, and a small injury was simulated under hemophilia A conditions. Simulations were then analyzed to determine how concizumab’s blockade of TFPI anticoagulant activities, specifically the inhibition of FXa in plasma and on platelets, inhibition of TF:FVIIa at the subendothelium, and prior sequestration of plasma TFPIα to the endothelium via TFPIβ, altered thrombin generation.
Results
Concizumab improved simulated thrombin generation in hemophilia A by simultaneously altering all 3 mechanisms of the TFPI anticoagulant blockade examined. Concizumab sequestered ∼75% of plasma TFPIα through the formation of ternary TFPIα-concizumab-TFPIβ-complexes. For all TF levels, reducing the TFPIα plasma concentration had the largest impact on the lag time, followed by blocking TFPIα inhibition of TF:FVIIa:FXa and subsequently by blocking TFPIα inhibition of FXa in plasma and on the platelet surface.
Conclusion
The effectiveness of concizumab is mediated through the blockade of TFPI anticoagulant activities in plasma and on multiple physiological surfaces. An important and previously unrecognized function of concizumab was the sequestration of plasma TFPIα to the endothelium.

Background
Understanding of the hemostatic and complement alterations associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric patients and the impact of these alterations on outcome is limited.
Objectives
The present study prospectively characterized these alterations and their association with postoperative outcomes in pediatric CPB.
Methods
All patients aged <21 years undergoing CPB at the authors’ institution between 2020 and 2021 who weighed >3 kg, were >36 weeks gestational age, and had no known prothrombotic or hemorrhagic disorders were eligible. Blood samples were analyzed for multiple hemostatic and complement biomarkers pre-, intra-, and 24 hours post-CPB. Biomarker levels were compared to clinical outcomes, including chest tube output (CTO).
Results
Fifty consecutive patients were enrolled. CPB resulted in multiple significant alterations in hemostatic and complement components. Lower platelet counts (<80 × 109 platelets/L) at CPB termination were associated with increased postoperative CTO (P = .003). Lower factor (F)VIII levels (<60 IU/dL) at the end of CPB were associated with a longer hospital stay (P < .001) and increased postoperative CTO (P < .001). Patients undergoing staged single ventricle reconstruction were more likely to have lower platelet counts at CPB termination (P = .009) and higher CTO postoperatively (P = .001) than patients undergoing other types of surgical repair. These differences were not due to different preoperative platelet counts, increased incidences of circulatory arrest, or longer CPB times.
Conclusion
These data suggest that intraoperative alterations in hemostatic system components may predict postoperative outcomes in pediatric CPB. Further study is needed to determine if interventions targeting platelets or FVIII could improve outcomes in pediatric CPB.

Background
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a bleeding disorder characterized by arteriovenous malformations, commonly presenting with epistaxis and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Bleeding symptoms may be difficult to manage and may become life-threatening, with many patients developing dependence on parenteral iron and/or blood transfusion. There is a growing body of evidence that antiangiogenic therapies may be effective in management of bleeding symptoms, presumably targeting pathogenic HHT pathways such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor.
Objectives
To report single-center, retrospective real-world use of pazopanib, an orally administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, in 6 patients with HHT-associated epistaxis and/or GI bleeding.
Methods
A retrospective observational analysis was performed to assess the safety/efficacy of pazopanib use in patients with confirmed HHT-associated epistaxis and/or GI bleeding between January 1, 2019, and June 14, 2023. The Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis institutional electronic medical record was queried for HHT patients who were treated with pazopanib for ≥3 months. Patient data were obtained from patient documentation, physician/nursing notes, and on-call documentation. Institutional review board approval was obtained for data pull as an exempt study.
Results
Our observations on the real-world use of pazopanib in 6 HHT patients with moderate-to-severe bleeding showed improvement in hemoglobin levels, with reduction in iron infusions and red blood cell transfusion requirement.
Conclusion
Pazopanib may be a reasonable option for patients with HHT with epistaxis or gastrointestinal bleeding that are refractory to standard treatment.

Background
The most significant treatment complication for patients with hemophilia A is the development of neutralizing immunoglobins (Igs) G, termed inhibitors, against factor VIII (FVIII), which prevent FVIII replacement therapy. Low titers of FVIII-specific IgMs have been identified in hemophilia A patients with and without inhibitors, as well as in healthy individuals. However, the duration and influence of IgMs on the immune response to FVIII remains unclear.
Objectives
To characterize the binding interactions of persistently secreted FVIII-specific IgMs in hemophilia A mice and assess their effect on IgG antibody development.
Methods
Splenic-derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from immunized FVIII knockout mice were isolated and purified using hybridoma technology. Binding interactions were assessed utilizing a novel fluid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and computational modeling with High Ambiguity-Driven protein-protein DOCKing to account for weak IgM binding.
Results
Sixteen porcine cross-reactive and noninhibitory FVIII-specific IgM mAbs were identified. RNA sequencing of FVIII-specific IgMs revealed 13 unique variable, diversity, and joining (VDJ)/variable and joining (VJ) sequences indicating derivation from 13 unique B cell clones. The IgMs demonstrated polyclonal and polyreactive binding to FVIII in vitro and in silico. Molecular docking studies with reconstructed IgM variable, diversity, and joining/variable and joining regions identified frequent IgM interactions with amino acid residues K376, T381, K437, R2215, or K2249 within the FVIII A2 and C2 domains. Injections of individual IgMs prior to FVIII exposure and co-injection of FVIII/IgM immune complexes did not affect de novo FVIII antibody production.
Conclusion
Persistent FVIII-specific IgMs are polyclonal but preferentially bind the A2 and C2 domains. FVIII/IgM immune complex formation does not significantly alter inhibitor development.

Background
Many research investigations for pulmonary embolism (PE) rely on the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes for analyses of electronic databases. The validity of ICD-10 codes in identifying PE remains uncertain.
Objectives
The objective of this study was to validate an algorithm to efficiently identify pulmonary embolism using ICD-10 codes.
Methods
Using a prespecified protocol, patients in the Mass General-Brigham hospitals (2016-2021) with ICD-10 principal discharge codes for PE, those with secondary codes for PE, and those without PE codes were identified (n = 578 from each group). Weighting was applied to represent each group proportionate to their true prevalence. The accuracy of ICD-10 codes for identifying PE was compared with adjudication by independent physicians. The F1 score, which incorporates sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV), was assessed. Subset validation was performed at Yale-New Haven Health System.
Results
A total of 1712 patients were included (age: 60.6 years; 52.3% female). ICD-10 PE codes in the principal discharge position had sensitivity and PPV of 58.3% and 92.1%, respectively. Adding secondary discharge codes to the principal discharge codes improved the sensitivity to 83.2%, but the PPV was reduced to 79.1%. Using a combination of ICD-10 PE principal discharge codes or secondary codes plus imaging codes for PE led to sensitivity and PPV of 81.6% and 84.7%, respectively, and the highest F1 score (83.1%; P < .001 compared with other methods). Validation yielded largely similar results.
Conclusion
Although the principal discharge codes for PE show excellent PPV, they miss 40% of acute PEs. A combination of principal discharge codes and secondary codes plus PE imaging codes led to improved sensitivity without severe reduction in PPV.
背景:许多有关肺栓塞(PE)的研究调查都依赖于国际疾病分类第 10 次修订版(ICD-10)代码对电子数据库进行分析。ICD-10 代码在识别肺栓塞方面的有效性仍不确定:采用预先指定的方案,对麻省总布里格姆医院(2016-2021年)中有ICD-10 PE主要出院代码的患者、有PE次要代码的患者和无PE代码的患者进行鉴定(每组N=578)。采用加权法使各组的代表性与其真实患病率成比例。将 ICD-10 编码识别 PE 的准确性与独立医生的判定进行了比较。评估了包含灵敏度和阳性预测值 (PPV) 的 F1 分数。在耶鲁-纽黑文医疗系统进行了子集验证:共纳入 1712 名患者(年龄:60.6 岁,52.3% 为女性)。主要出院位置的 ICD-10 PE 代码的灵敏度和 PPV 分别为 58.3% 和 92.1%。在主要出院代码中加入次要出院代码可将灵敏度提高至 83.2%,但 PPV 则降至 79.1%。使用 ICD-10 PE 主要出院代码或辅助代码加 PE 影像代码的组合,灵敏度和 PPV 分别为 81.6% 和 84.7%,F1 得分最高(83.1%,PConclusions:虽然 PE 的主要出院代码显示出极佳的 PPV,但却漏诊了 40% 的急性 PE。结合使用主要出院代码、次要代码和 PE 影像代码可提高灵敏度,但不会严重降低 PPV。

Background
Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a complication of central venous access devices (CVADs). Evidence is variable regarding the significance of the side of catheter insertion. The role of the patient’s hand dominance in predisposition to CRT remains uncertain.
Objectives
In a prospective randomized controlled trial, adult cancer patients were randomly allocated to either dominant or nondominant side CVAD insertion. The primary endpoint of this trial examined the incidence of catheter-associated bloodstream infection. Here, we report the secondary endpoint of the incidence of CRT.
Methods
Six hundred forty CVADs were randomized to the dominant (n = 322) or nondominant (n = 318) side of insertion. Only symptomatic patients underwent ultrasound imaging to evaluate for CRT.

The median patient age was 58 years, 60% of patients had hematologic malignancies and 40% had solid tumors. CVADs used were peripherally-inserted central catheter line (67%), tunneled CVAD (23%), or nontunneled CVAD (10%). The CRT incidence rate was 0.65 versus 0.82 per 1000 line days in the dominant versus nondominant group (hazard ratio [HR], 1.2; 95% CI, 0.58-2.48; P = .63). There was no significant difference in CRT incidence rate between left- and right-sided insertions (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.30-1.32; P = .22). The CRT incidence rate was lower in right-handed versus left-handed line inserters (HR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.12-0.71; P = .007).
Conclusion
The rate of CRT was not associated with whether CVAD insertion was on the patient’s dominant or nondominant side or the side of insertion. The role of inserter hand dominance requires further investigation.
背景:导管相关血栓(CRT)是中心静脉通路装置(CVAD)的一种并发症。关于导管插入侧的重要性证据不一。患者的手部优势对 CRT 易感性的作用仍不确定:在一项前瞻性随机对照试验中,成年癌症患者被随机分配到优势侧或非优势侧插入 CVAD。该试验的主要终点是检查导管相关血流感染的发生率。方法:640 例 CVAD 被随机分配到优势侧(322 例)或非优势侧(318 例)插入。只有无症状患者接受了超声成像以评估CRT:患者年龄中位数为58岁,60%的患者患有血液恶性肿瘤,40%的患者患有实体瘤。使用的CVAD包括外周置入中心导管线(PICC)(67%)、隧道式CVAD(23%)或非隧道式CVAD(10%)。显性组与非显性组的 CRT 发生率分别为每 1000 管路日 0.65 例与 0.82 例(HR 1.2;95% CI 0.58-2.48,P=0.63)。左侧插入与右侧插入的 CRT 发生率无明显差异(HR 0.63;95% CI 0.30-1.32,P=0.22)。右侧插管者的 CRT 发生率低于左侧插管者(HR 0.29;95% CI 0.12-0.71,P=0.007):结论:CRT发生率与CVAD插入时患者的惯用侧、非惯用侧或插入侧无关。插入者手部优势的作用需要进一步研究。

Background
Immediate activated factor (F)X (FXa) inhibition exerts direct antiplatelet effects in the context of arterial thrombosis but little is known about the impact of long-term therapy on platelet function in ischemic cardiovascular diseases.
Objectives
Therefore, we analyzed platelet-derived effects of long-term FXa inhibition in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke.
Methods
We evaluated the effect of acute versus chronic FXa inhibition on thromboinflammation following AMI and stroke in mice in vivo. Mechanistically, we identified changes in platelet gene expression and proteome under chronic FXa nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant treatment and characterized its functional consequence on platelet physiology. In a prospectively recruited cohort of patients with AMI, we determined cardiovascular magnetic resonance based cardiac endpoints under FXa nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant effects on clinical endpoints in a cohort of patients with AMI.
Results
Chronic but not acute FXa inhibition reduced cerebral and myocardial infarct size and improved cardiac function 24 hours after AMI in mice. Mechanistically, we identified an attenuated thromboinflammatory response with reduced neutrophil extracellular trap formation in mice and patient samples. Proteome and RNA expression analysis of FXa inhibitor treated patients revealed a reduction of key regulators within the membrane trafficking and secretion machinery hampering platelet α and dense granule release. Subsequent, thromboinflammatory neutrophil extracellular trap density in thrombi isolated from stroke and myocardial infarction patients was reduced. Patients with AMI treated with FXa inhibitors showed decreased infarct size after myocardial infarction compared to patients without anticoagulation treatment.
Conclusion
Long-term FXa inhibition induces antithromboinflammatory proteome signatures in platelets, improving infarct size after myocardial infarction and stroke.

Background
Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is an ultrarare microvascular disease caused by the deficiency of the metalloprotease ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs 13). Approximately half of all cases remain undiagnosed until a triggering event in adulthood; therefore, the prevalence rates may be underestimated. The current standard of care is based on regular transfusions of fresh frozen plasma, which often lead to allergic reactions in patients. Recombinant ADAMTS13 (rADAMTS13) is a novel treatment for cTTP, which has been approved for use in the USA, Europe, and Japan.
Objectives
The primary objective of this real-world data collection was to comprehensively analyze the clinical data of pediatric patients with cTTP and to provide real-world evidence of the effectiveness of rADAMTS13 treatment in the pediatric population.
Methods
Nine pediatric patients with cTTP were treated with an intravenous infusion of rADAMTS13 every 2 weeks.
Results
The results showed an increase in platelet count and a decrease in lactate dehydrogenase levels compared with baseline. None of the patients experienced any adverse events or complications as a result of treatment. Patients reported an improved quality of life due to fewer hospital visits and a reduced number of recurrent episodes of cTTP.
Conclusion
Treatment with rADAMTS13 resulted in the normalization of laboratory parameters in all pediatric patients with cTTP.
