Abstract
Background: Since several studies have examined the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in treating patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), we conducted a meta-analyses to assess the safety and efficacy of DOACs compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in this population.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search using the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases until June 2024. We used odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as the effect measures to compare DOACs with VKAs.
Results: A total of 9 observational studies were included. The pooled analysis revealed that a trend towards higher complete recanalization rates with DOACs (71.4%) compared to VKAs (55.3%), though not statistically significant (OR 1.95; 95%CI 0.70 to 5.44). For SVT extension, a significant effect was observed favoring DOACs (OR 0.12; 95%CI 0.03 to 0.54). No significant differences were found in other efficacy outcomes or safety outcomes, except for major bleeding, which was significantly lower with DOACs (OR 0.27; 95%CI 0.13 to 0.56).
Conclusion: DOACs are superior to VKAs in SVT extension and major bleeding, suggesting that DOACs may be a favorable treatment option in the treatment of SVT.
期刊介绍:
CATH is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal that addresses the practical clinical and laboratory issues involved in managing bleeding and clotting disorders, especially those related to thrombosis, hemostasis, and vascular disorders. CATH covers clinical trials, studies on etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of thrombohemorrhagic disorders.
