Antithrombotic Therapy in People with Hemophilia-A Narrative Review.

Abstract

As the life expectancy of individuals with hemophilia continues to increase, the complexity of balancing bleeding risks and thrombotic management has become increasingly critical in people with hemophilia with or at a high risk of thrombosis. Advances in hemophilia therapies such as extended half-life coagulation factors, non-factor therapies, rebalancing agents, and gene therapy have expanded treatment options for a variety of people with hemophilia. The thrombotic risk of people with hemophilia in general are relatively low as compared to those without hemophilia. However, antithrombotic therapy for prevention and treatment for thrombosis should still be considered in some situations, even in hemophilia. This clinical focus highlights the use of antithrombotic therapy in the management of thrombosis in people with hemophilia. A multidisciplinary, personalized approach is essential for optimizing the safety and efficacy of antithrombotic therapy in people with hemophilia with or at a high risk of thrombosis. High performance computer based multidimensional data analysis may help in establishing the personalized antithrombotic therapy in the future.
