Patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) have excessive blood loss during surgery that requires blood transfusions, leading to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. We studied the efficacy and safety of activated recombinant factor VII (rFVIIa) in reducing transfusion requirements in OLT. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled patients undergoing OLT because of cirrhosis (Child-Turcotte-Pugh class B or C). Patients received a repeated intravenous bolus regimen of rFVIIa 60 or 120 microg/kg or placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint was the total number of red blood cell (RBC) units transfused during the perioperative period. A total of 182 patients were analyzed for efficacy and 183 for safety. No significant effect of rFVIIa was observed on the number of RBC units transfused or intraoperative blood loss compared with the placebo group. A significantly higher number of patients in the rFVIIa study groups avoided RBC transfusion. Administration of rFVIIa but not placebo restored the preoperative prolonged prothrombin time to normal value during surgery. Patients receiving rFVIIa and placebo did not experience a significant difference in rate of thromboembolic events. Additionally, there was no statistically significant effect of rFVIIa treatment on hospitalization rate, total surgery time, and the proportion of patients undergoing retransplantation. In conclusion, use of rFVIIa during OLT significantly reduced the number of patients requiring RBC transfusion. There was no increase in thromboembolic events with rFVIIa administration compared with placebo. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Large transfusion requirements, i.e., excessive blood loss, during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are correlated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recombinant factor VIIa (rF-VIIa) has been shown to improve hemostasis in a variety of conditions, but has never been studied in liver transplantation. METHODS: We performed a single-center, open-label, pilot study in adult patients undergoing OLT for cirrhosis Child-Pugh B or C, to assess efficacy and safety of rFVIIa. rFVIIa (80 microg/kg) was administered at the start of the operation, to be repeated according to predefined criteria. Packed red blood cells (RBC), fresh-frozen plasma, and platelet concentrates were administered according to predefined criteria. Perioperative transfusion requirements in study patients were compared with matched controls. RESULTS: Six patients were enrolled in the study. All received a single dose of rFVIIa. Transfusion requirements (given as median, with range in parentheses) were lower in the study group than in matched controls: 1.5 (0-5) vs. 7 (2-18) units of allogeneic RBC (P=0.006), 0 (0-2) vs. 3.5 (0-23) units of autologous RBC (P=0.043), total amount of RBC 3 (0-5) vs. 9 (4-40) units (P=0.002). Transfused fresh-frozen plasma was 1 (0-7) vs. 8 (2-35) units (P=0.011). Blood loss was 3.5 L (1.4-5.3) vs. 9.8 L (3.7-35.0) (P=0.004). One study patient developed a hepatic artery thrombosis at day 1 postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: A single dose of 80 microg/kg rFVIIa significantly reduced transfusion requirements during OLT. Further study is needed to establish the optimally effective and safe dose of rFVIIa in orthotopic liver transplantation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: "Off-label" use of human coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) is presently restricted to patients in extremis at our institution. Although bleeding will diminish in most patients, some will still die early as a result of irreversible shock and/or rebleeding. Futile administration of FVIIa significantly increases the economic burden of this expensive therapy and therefore limits its availability. On the basis of both human and in vitro studies, profound acidosis may be expected to predict lack of response. In addition, the depth of hemorrhagic shock, as defined by the degree of hypoperfusion over a given period of time, may be predictive of failure of FVIIa administration. We hypothesized that retrospective review of FVIIa use would identify variables associated with clinical futility. METHODS: Characteristics of patients receiving FVIIa for acute traumatic hemorrhage were identified. Patients were retrospectively stratified into two groups; those who died as a result of acute hemorrhagic shock (nonresponders) and those in whom hemostasis was achieved and sustained (responders). Demographics, laboratory values, transfusion requirements, and outcomes were recorded for all patients. Data were analyzed using the Student's t test to identify the clinical characteristics of nonresponders and stepwise logistic regression was then used to identify independently predictive factors. A classification and regression tree analysis was conducted to develop a decision tree on the basis of our results. RESULTS: Eighty-one patients received FVIIa therapy over a 3-year period. Among the 46 patients treated for acute hemorrhage, there were 26 with blunt and 20 with penetrating mechanisms of trauma. Average age was 35 +/- 15 years, 72% were male, and the average Injury Severity Score was 36 +/- 15. Revised Trauma Score (RTS), lactate, and preadministration prothrombin time (PT) each predicted lack of response (p < 0.05 for each). RTS and PT were independently predictive of failure of response. An RTS of less than 4.09 and a PT of greater than or equal to 17.6 seconds were significantly associated with futile administration of FVIIa. Age was a significant factor in patients with a PT greater than or equal to 17.6 seconds, whereas ISS was significant in patients with an RTS greater than or equal to 4.09. CONCLUSION: Profound acidosis and coagulopathy may predict failure of FVIIa therapy. Depth of hemorrhagic shock, as described by the RTS, was also associated with futile administration. These variables should be considered as potential contraindications to the use of FVIIa. Earlier administration of FVIIa, before the development of massive blood loss and severe shock, may increase the rate of clinical response. 相似文献

Autoimmune idiopathic thrombocytopenia poses a significant challenge for clinicians in the perioperative period. Repeat platelet transfusions may not result in satisfactory increments in the platelet count and routine coagulation screens may not reflect the degree of abnormal hemostasis. We report the use of point-of-care testing with thromboelastography and platelet counting in managing a patient with refractory autoimmune idiopathic thrombocytopenia, undergoing a splenectomy for active bleeding. These tests were successfully used to monitor the frequency of administration of recombinant factor VIIa (NovoSeven(R), NovoNordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark) with platelet transfusions. 相似文献

The author reviewed the literature regarding recombinant activated Factor VII (rFVIIa) in major abdominal surgery and liver transplantation and concluded that, on the basis of evidence-based medicine, there is no evidence to support an extensive use of rFVIIa. Nevertheless, various case reports suggest the usefulness of rFVIIa to treat life-threatening bleeding after failure of conventional therapies. It appears that there is a consensus that rFVIIa can be used with good results as a rescue therapy in extremely severe situations. Economic cost and potential thrombosis risk remain arguments against more widespread use of rFVIIa. Doses from 5 to 120 kg/kg in each administration have been reported without clear evidence to support a specific protocol. Efficacy of 15 to 20 kg/kg in surgical settings has been reported, but higher doses are more frequently used. The majority of the reviewed investigators accepted the use of rFVIIa after or simultaneously with the use of aprotinin; no data refute the safety of this association. 相似文献

We report the case of an infant affected with congenital systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma scheduled for central venous access system implantation (Port-a-Cath) and a liver and bone marrow biopsy. The patient had impaired liver function, thrombocytopenia, and coagulopathy which was refractory to daily fresh-frozen plasma and platelet infusions: 80 microg x kg(-1) dose(-1) of recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) was administered i.v. every 2 h starting 30 min before the procedure and ending 6 h afterwards. Very minor bleeding was observed during the procedure. In conclusion, rFVIIa therapy was effective as prophylaxis for both invasive procedures in this patient with a coagulopathy which was refractory to other different therapies. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is supposed to be advantageous compared to unfractionated heparin for chronic hemodialysis (HD) with respect to lipid and bone metabolism, polymorphonuclear cell stimulation, induction of antibody-mediated thrombocytopenia, and aldosterone suppression. Due to longer biological half-life, LMWH offers the possibility of single bolus administration. METHODS: To assess safety and efficacy of single bolus anticoagulation with enoxaparin for chronic HD, 781 stable HD patients from 79 German dialysis centers (mean age 62 years; 31% ESRD due to diabetes mellitus) were monitored by clinical and laboratory parameters for 32 weeks. Additionally, in a single dialysis center, 22 chronic HD patients were investigated by molecular markers of coagulation during chronic HD under conditions of single bolus or continuous anticoagulation regimens. Anti-Xa activity and the thrombin- antithrombin-III complex (TAT) were determined before the enoxaparin bolus, after 15 min, 2 h, and at the end of HD in venous and arterial blood lines. RESULTS: Chronic HD was performed in 24,117 HD treatments with enoxaparin at a median dose of 70.1 IU/kg (5,000 IU median total dose) for single bolus anticoagulation. In 83.0% of HD treatments, enoxaparin was given as single bolus. In 98.3% of patients no adverse event was reported. No drug-related severe adverse event occurred. Significant clotting problems were observed in only 0.3% of HD treatments with single bolus anticoagulation. As assessed in 257 HD treatments, essentially identical anti-Xa levels were detected at the end of HD with single bolus (50 IU/kg) or continuous (mean total dose 43 IU/kg) anticoagulation regimens. Bolus anticoagulation resulted in higher TAT generation at the end of HD. However, this was not associated with increased macroscopic clot formation. CONCLUSION: Single bolus anticoagulation with enoxaparin was safe and effective for chronic HD. For a duration of 4 h HD, a median dose of 70 IU/kg can be recommended for regular use, which is in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for use of enoxaparin recommending a range of 50-100 IU/kg. 相似文献

Perioperative hemostatic management in patients with hemophilia A who develop the coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor is challenging, because exogenous FVIII is neutralized, which boosts the inhibitor to provoke postoperative coagulopathy. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) has become available for this type of patient, although FVIII is sometimes required. We treated a 56-year-old male patient with hemophilia A with FVIII inhibitor scheduled for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We used rFVIIa for THA; however, the amount of bleeding was 2,500 ml and blood transfusion was required, which boosted FVIII inhibitor after surgery. The TKA was then scheduled for 19 months later, after the level of the inhibitor had reduced to the preoperative level. Unfortunately, rFVIIa failed to improve PT/APTT, and thus we used recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII). The amount of bleeding during TKA was 1,340 ml, while the level of the inhibitor increased to a greater level than that after THA, provoking uncontrollable bleeding. For anesthetic management in hemophilia A patients with FVIII inhibitor, anesthesiologists must pay attention to postoperative coagulopathy, and every effort should be used to minimize exposure to FVIII. Furthermore, when rFVIIa is ineffective, postponement of surgery until rFVIIa regains its efficacy may be beneficial as compared to an operation with FVIII. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Several reports have suggested a benefit for recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) in nonhematological conditions, including liver disease and transplantation. However, there are few reports of its use in children with liver failure. Recently, we used rFVIIa in four patients with liver failure and severe coagulopathy with bleeding who demonstrated significant laboratory and clinical improvement following its use with no side effects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All four patients were hospitalized with liver failure, coagulopathy, and bleeding that was controlled with fresh frozen plasma, platelets, and other therapies, as indicated. Their international normalization ratios (INR) ranged from 1.7 to 5.8 (normal 0.9-1.1). All four patients received rFVIIa for bleeding episodes that were not responding to their usual therapy, for procedures with a high risk of bleeding, or both. The dose of rFVIIa ranged from 0.067 to 0.3 mg/kg. The INR improved to normal or near normal in all four patients. In all cases, bleeding stopped within 10 minutes of receiving the rFVIIa, and there were no complications observed. CONCLUSIONS: rFVIIa provided significant benefit in these children with liver failure and severe coagulopathy, in terms of clinical and laboratory improvement in their bleeding and coagulation profiles. There were no obvious side effects from the rFVIIa. This drug may be an important tool in the treatment of children with liver failure and more study is needed to define the optimal dosing for children. 相似文献

Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is affected by important alterations of hemostasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant factor VII activated (rFVIIa) to reduce intraoperative bleeding during OLT. METHODS: Twenty OLT patients were assigned in double-blind way to a rFVIIa group or a control group. Inclusion criteria were hemoglobin > 8 g/dL: INR > 1,5 and fibrinogen > 100 mg/dL. We administered a single bouls of rFVIIa (40 microg/kg) or placebo. We determined INR, partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, ATIII, and blood cell counts. Blood products were administered as follows: 4 units of fresh frozen plasma when INR > 1.5, and 1 unit of RBC for Hb < 10 g/dL. The study ended 6 hours after the bolus. RESULTS: No thromboembolic events occurred. The INR was different between rFVIIa group and the controls at T0 (1.9 vs 1.6 P < .021) and during T1 (1.2 vs 1.6 P < .004). The total transfused red blood cells was 300 mL +/- 133 in rFVIIa group and 570 mL +/- 111 in control group (P < .017). The total fresh frozen plasma was 600 mL +/- 154 in rFVIIa group and 1400 mL +/- 187 in control group (P < .001). Total blood loss was greater in the control group than the rFVIIa group: 1140 mL +/- 112 vs 740 mL +/- 131 (P < .049). DISCUSSION: The use of rFVIIa during OLT can reduce the risk of bleeding during surgery. The literature has described cases who did not benefit from the treatment. An adequate cut-off of INR, allowed us to treat only patients at greater bleeding risk. 相似文献

Indisputably, liver transplantation is among the most technically challenging operations in current practice and is compounded by significant coagulopathy and portal hypertension. Recombinant human coagulation factor VIIa (rFVIIa) is a new product that was initially described to treat bleeding in hemophilia patients. We present in this paper 10 liver transplants in Jehovah's Witness patients using this novel product at University of Southern California-University Hospital. The subject population included nine males and one female with an average age of 50 years. Six patients underwent cadaveric and four live donor liver transplantation. Surgeries were conducted following our established protocol for transfusion-free liver transplantation, which includes preoperative blood augmentation, intraoperative blood salvage, acute normovolemic hemodilution, and postoperative blood conservation. Factor rFVIIa was used at a dose of 80 microg/kg intravenously just prior to the incision in all patients, and a second intraoperative dose was used in 3 patients. All living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipients did well and were discharged uneventfully with normal liver functions. Two of the six cadaveric recipients died. One patient died intraoperatively from acute primary graft nonfunction, and the other died 38 hours postoperatively from severe anemia. This report suggests factor rFVIIa might have a much broader application in surgery in the control of bleeding associated with coagulopathy. 相似文献

Infants with short bowel syndrome (SBS) and associated liver failure are often referred for combined liver/intestinal transplantation. We speculated that in some young children, nutritional autonomy would be possible with restoration of normal liver function. Features we believed to predict nutritional autonomy include history of at least 50% enteral tolerance, age less than 2 yr, and no underlying intestinal disease. This report documents our experience with liver transplantation alone in children with liver failure associated with SBS. Twenty-three children with SBS and end-stage liver disease, considered to have good prognostic features for eventual full enteral adaptation, underwent isolated liver transplantation. Median age was 11 months (range, 6.5 to 48 months). Median pretransplant weight was 7.4 kg (range, 5.2 to 15 kg). All had growth retardation and advanced liver disease. Bowel length ranged from 25 to 100 cm. Twenty-three children underwent 28 isolated liver transplants. There were 14 whole livers and 14 partial grafts (five living donors). Seventeen patients are alive at a median follow-up of 57 months (range, 6 to 121 months). Actuarial patient and graft survival rates at 1 yr are 82% and 75% and at 5 yr are 72% and 60%, respectively. Four deaths resulted from sepsis, all within 4 months of transplantation, and 1 death resulted from progressive liver failure. Two allografts developed chronic rejection; both children were successfully retransplanted with isolated livers. Of 17 surviving patients, three require supplemental intravenous support; the remaining 14 have achieved enteral autonomy, at a median of 3 months (range, 1 to 72 months) after transplantation. Linear growth is maintained and, in many, catch-up growth is evident. Median change in z score for height is 0.57 (range, -4.47 to 2.68), and median change in z score for weight is 0.42 (range, -1.65 to 3.05). In conclusion, Isolated liver transplantation in children with liver failure as a result of SBS, who have favorable prognostic features for full enteral adaptation, is feasible with satisfactory long-term survival. 相似文献
