Prevention of thromboembolism after a fracture: is aspirin enough?
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication that can arise during and after hospitalization, particularly following surgery under general anaesthesia. Particularly at risk are major orthopaedic surgical procedures such as elective knee or hip replacement and the treatment of hip fractures. In these patients, current guidelines recommend (low or low-moderate level of evidence) aspirin as a possible alternative to anticoagulant therapy for the prophylaxis of long-term venous thromboembolism after an initial period with anticoagulant drugs. Several randomized trials and meta-analyses demonstrate no significant differences in the risk of VTE when comparing aspirin with anticoagulants. However, it must be considered that most recommendations are based on elective orthopaedic surgery and that trials after fractures have excluded patients at high thrombotic risk. Consequently, the overall incidence of major clinical events (death and pulmonary embolism) was ∼1% with wide confidence margins in even large non-inferiority studies. The incidence of asymptomatic VTE, especially distal, appears to be higher with aspirin. Patient preference and lower costs could play an important role in the choice in favour of aspirin.
期刊介绍:
The European Heart Journal Supplements (EHJs) is a long standing member of the ESC Journal Family that serves as a publication medium for supplemental issues of the flagship European Heart Journal. Traditionally EHJs published a broad range of articles from symposia to special issues on specific topics of interest.
The Editor-in-Chief, Professor Roberto Ferrari, together with his team of eminent Associate Editors: Professor Francisco Fernández-Avilés, Professors Jeroen Bax, Michael Böhm, Frank Ruschitzka, and Thomas Lüscher from the European Heart Journal, has implemented a change of focus for the journal. This entirely refreshed version of the European Heart Journal Supplements now bears the subtitle the Heart of the Matter to give recognition to the focus the journal now has.
The EHJs – the Heart of the Matter intends to offer a dedicated, scientific space for the ESC, Institutions, National and Affiliate Societies, Associations, Working Groups and Councils to disseminate their important successes globally.
