Direct sign of PE on an echocardiogram would include (1) thrombi in the right atrium, right ventricle, or pulmonary artery; and (2) thrombi that protrude into the left atrium through a patent foramen ovale. Indirect signs on an echocardiogram would include (1) right ventricular dysfunction (see Figure 13-9); (2) a systolic pressure gradient between the right ventricle and the right atrium of >30 mm Hg; and (3) pulmonary arterial flow acceleration time of <80 msec.
*Shock is defined as a systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg or a >40 mm Hg drop in blood pressure for >15 minutes.

VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM TREATMENT PRINCIPLES
Early and aggressive anticoagulation is the preferred treatment modality in patients with PE. Fibrinolysis can be considered in selected high-risk cases, as highlighted below.
When Should Systemic Fibrinolysis Be Considered for
4
PE?
(see Chapter 6 on thrombolytic therapy)
•
Sustained hypotension (SBP <90 mm Hg) in patients who do not have high risk of bleeding.
•
Select patients without hypotension who deteriorate clinically after starting anticoagulation therapy and who are also at low risk of bleeding.
•
Patients without hemodynamic compromise who:
Are very ill in conjunction with severe dyspnea, anxiety, and poor
oxygen saturation (high or very high 30-day mortality risk, deter mined by the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index [PESI] (Table 13-7).
Have elevated troponin (indicative of right ventricular micro-
infarction).
Have right ventricular dysfunction demonstrated by an echocar-
diogram.
Have right ventricular enlargement on chest CT (Figure 13-9). Are at low risk of bleeding (see Table 6-4).
For administering systemic fibrinolysis for PE, see Chapter 6, Table 6-2.
•
Note: The 2016 American College of Chest Physician (ACCP) and 2014 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Pulmonary Embolism guidelines of accelerated regimens with short infusion times (e.g., a 2-hour infusion) over those with prolonged infusion times (e.g., a 24-hour infusion).
For contraindications to thrombolytic therapy, see Chapter 6, Table 6-4.

Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index Scoring Systems
The PESI score is the most extensively validated prognostic clinical score currently available, using clinical and patient characteristics to determine which patients are at risk for adverse outcomes, including 30-day mortal­ity from PE. The strength of the PESI is its ability to rule out negative PE outcomes (e.g., mortality). Many institutions advocate using the PESI score to determine which patients can be safely treated for PE at home (Class I–II), versus which patients should be admitted to the hospital for management.

• Intravenous agents (e.g., labetalol, nicardipine, nitroglycerin) can be used to lower blood pressure to allow for fibrinolytic therapy administration.
• Percutaneous catheter-directed treatment allows for localized delivery of lower doses of fibrinolytics to the pulmonary thrombi (10–24 mg) and may be considered for PE patients with hemodynamic instability or RV dysfunction when systemic fibrinolysis has failed, if local expertise is available.

Heparins in Combination with Systemic Fibrinolysis
Heparin (or in some cases LMWH) typically accompanies the use of throm­bolytic therapy for VTE. See Chapter 6 for dosing recommendations based on setting and approach to therapy when thrombolytic agents are used.
Heparin Dosing Considerations When Given with Catheter-Directed Fibrinolysis for DVT Treatment
•
Catheter-directed fibrinolysis is often utilized for massive iliofemoral DVT to help prevent the development of post-thrombotic syndrome.
•
The heparin dosing is not standardized for this indication; often, lower intensities were used in reported studies than standard DVT therapy (often ≤1,000 units/hr).
334 Anticoagulation Therapy
https://t.me/med1917
• Caution must be exercised whenever using anticoagulants with, or in close proximity to, fibrinolytics. See Chapter 6 for more details and dosing considerations.
Use of Inferior Vena Cava Filters
•
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters come in two types: permanent and retrievable.
•
Retrievable filters can be removed when the need for the filter has dissipated.
Removal can be difficult if the filter has become imbedded in the
wall of the IVC or if a large amount of clot is present in the filter. In these cases, the filter then becomes permanent.
To help prevent imbedding in the wall, filters can be rotated
periodically.
In some cases, warfarin therapy may not be initiated until the filter
is removed.
•
A randomized study assessing the efficacy and safety of IVC filters in patients with proximal DVT found that while filters decrease PE rates, they also increase DVT rates with no mortality benefit.
•
In a randomized study of patients with PE receiving anticoagulation therapy deemed to be at high risk for recurrence, placement of an IVC filter did not provide additional benefit in reducing recurrent symptomatic or fatal PE.
•
IVC filters may reduce in-hospital mortality in PE patients, but randomized data are lacking.
•
In patients with acute VTE who are treated with anticoagulants, the 2016 ACCP Treatment of VTE Disease Guidelines recommend against the use of an IVC filter (Grade 1B).

Standard Indications for IVC Filter Placement
•
Known VTE with a contraindication to anticoagulation therapy.
•
Known VTE with complications of anticoagulation therapy.
•
Objectively confirmed recurrent PE despite adequate anticoagulation treatment (anticoagulation failure).
•
Chronic thromboembolic hypertension patients who will undergo thrombo­endarterectomy.
Evolving Indications for IVC Filter Placement*
•
Recurrent PE leading to pulmonary hypertension.
•
DVT patients with limited cardiopulmonary reserve capacity or patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
•
Patients who have large, free-floating iliofemoral thrombus.
•
Patients who have had thrombectomy, embolectomy, or fibrinolysis of DVT.
•
High-risk trauma patients (spinal cord injury, pelvic or lower extremity fractures) who cannot be safely anticoagulated.
•
High-risk surgical patients who are contraindicated for anticoagulation.

•
DVT patients with burns, cancer, or who are pregnant.
•
Treatment of acute DVT organ transplant patients.
*Many of these indications are controversial with little high-quality evidence to support their use.
See Table 13-8 for known IVC filter complications.
TABLE 13-8: Potential IVC Filter Use Complications
Filter Use Complications
• DVT recurrence Filter migration
•
•
Filter thrombosis (can be on top of the filter) Guidewire entrapment
•
•
IVC thrombosis Penetration of the IVC
•
•
Post-thrombotic syndrome Thrombosis at the insertion site
•
•
Tilting or fracture of the filter (filter fragments can embolize) Vena caval obstruction
•
DVT: deep vein thrombosis, IVC: inferior vena cava
• When IVC filters should be used is a very controversial topic. Clinicians who routinely work in anticoagulation should be familiar with the data regarding their use. Systemic anticoagulation generally should be used long term in patients with permanent (including those with retrievable filters that are not removed) IVC filters provided they are appropriate candidates for long-term anticoagulation.
Use of Anticoagulants to Treat VTE
General Principles of Therapy
•
For patients with a high clinical suspicion of VTE, parenteral anticoagulation therapy should be started even if diagnostic tests are pending.
•
Parenteral anticoagulation therapy, when utilized with warfarin, should be overlapped with warfarin for at least 5 days and until the INR is >2 and stable to allow the vitamin K antagonist (VKA) enough time to reach its full anticoagu lant effect.
•
Patients with either a DVT or PE who are otherwise stable and have no other reason to be hospitalized may be considered for outpatient therapy (see Chapter
10).
See key considerations below on home treatment.

•
Alternatively, apixaban and rivaroxaban can be used without initial parenteral therapy. If parenteral therapy has been used, patient can be transitioned to apixaban/rivaroxaban. Simply shut off the heparin drip when the new agent is given, or if LMWH/fondaparinux is used, give the new agent when the next dose of parenteral therapy would be due.
•
Warfarin can be started on the first day along with the parenteral anticoagulation.
•
Upper extremity DVTs are generally treated in a similar fashion to lower extremity DVTs, but this is based on limited data.
•
Patients with isolated distal DVT without severe symptoms can be managed with serial ultrasonography for 2 weeks with anticoagulation only provided if extension occurs.
•
In some select patients with subsegmental PE (no involvement of proximal pulmonary arteries) and no proximal DVT of the legs (ultrasound imaging required of lower extremities and other high-risk areas) who are at low risk of recurrent VTE, clinical surveillance can be used over anticoagulation particularly in those at high risk of bleeding with good pulmonary reserve.
Key Considerations for Use of Anticoagulants in VTE
Use of Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) for treatment of VTE (see Chapter 3):
•
Preferred agent when fibrinolytics would be used (systemic fibrinolytic treatment of PE, catheter-directed therapies, etc.).
•
May also be preferred in patients with severe renal insufficiency.
•
Both intravenous (IV) infusions and subcutaneous therapy are acceptable options for VTE treatment.
•
When IV infusions are utilized, achieving a therapeutic activated partial throm­boplastin time (aPTT) in the first 24 hours may be associated with decreased VTE recurrence rates.
•
Targeted aPTTs should be regularly correlated to therapeutic heparin levels of
0.3–0.7 units/mL anti-factor Xa activity (see Chapter 21).
•
IV route is the preferred option whenever there are concerns over subcutane­ous absorption.
Use of LMWH/fondaparinux for treatment of VTE (see Chapter 4):
•
Patients who were initially treated with IV UFH can have a single injection at discharge to complete a full 5 days of heparin therapy. (Note: Documentation will still be needed to fulfill core measure requirements.)
•
Routine measurements of anti-factor Xa activity levels are not needed.
•
Can be utilized long term, alone, for the treatment of VTE; recommended initial approach to the treatment of VTE in the setting of cancer (see Treatment of VTE in Cancer).
•
When using enoxaparin for the treatment of VTE, 1 mg/kg sub-Q twice a day is preferred over 1.5 mg/kg once daily, particularly in those with cancer or those who are obese.
•
When using enoxaparin, many clinicians round to the nearest syringe to simplify the therapy for patients and to avoid expelling the air bubble, which may lead to more bruising.
VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM TREATMENT 337
https://t.me/med1917
•
Due to practicality reasons (e.g., lack of available syringe sizes, need for multiple syringes per dose), along with lower efficacy in obese patients, many clinicians avoid once daily enoxaparin in patients greater than 100 kg.
Treatment of VTE in cancer:
•
The ACCP guidelines, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) recommend LMWH therapy alone for the initial treatment of VTE in cancer patients.
•
LMWH is recommended for the first 3–6 months of therapy of the total duration of therapy; longer-term therapy, if needed, should be continued with warfarin or LMWH depending on the patient’s specific scenario.
•
Dalteparin is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated for this use, but other agents are also used in practice despite weaker evidence.
•
Once-daily enoxaparin should be avoided in patients with acute thrombosis with cancer.
•
Data for use of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with cancer are limited. Although the definition of active cancer differed between each of the DOAC studies and also did not quite match the definition for active cancer used in the LMWH studies, the pooled results from over 1,000 patients showed no difference in their safety or effectiveness compared to conventional VKA treatment.

Use of LMWH/fondaparinux/DOACs at home:
•
Ensure the patient/caregiver is fully educated on administering parenterals (if used) and willing to comply.
•
Ensure the follow-up appointments have been made for anticoagulation monitor­ing.
•
Ensure the outpatient provider clearly understands the treatment plan and the importance of making sure the patient follows up.
•
Ensure the patient can pay for the drug before a final decision on treatment is made.
•
Ensure that the patient’s pharmacy has the medication in stock.
•
Ensure the patient has phone numbers to call if he or she has any questions/ concerns about therapy when at home and that the care providers have the patient’s contact information if needed.
•
At least one of the DOAC agents is available in a starter pack; this may be an excellent option for many patients to help facilitate adherence.
•
Patients who have low-risk PE (PESI <85, modified PESI of 0) whose support structure is adequate can be treated at home or via early discharge from the hospital (<5 days).
Use of DOACs for the treatment of VTE (see Chapter 7):
•
Apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban are all FDA-approved for the acute treatment of DVT and PE. Apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban are approved for long-term, secondary prevention of DVT and PE.
•
Rivaroxaban and apixaban can be used upon diagnosis of VTE without parenteral anticoagulant therapy, whereas it is recommended that all patients receive at least 5 days of parenteral therapy prior to initiation of dabigatran or edoxaban.

•
All DOACs are recommended over warfarin therapy for the treatment of non-cancer VTE in the 2016 ACCP Treatment of VTE Disease Guidelines (Grade
4
2B).
•
DOACs have demonstrated less or comparable rates of major bleeding in clinical trials when compared with warfarin.
•
Pharmacokinetic studies of the DOACs have suggested that obesity does not meaningfully impact drug exposure when compared to non-obese patients. In clinical trials of direct factor Xa inhibitors for VTE treatment, 15–19% of all patients enrolled had a body weight >100 kg, accounting for >1,000 patients. (See Chapter 11 for more information.)
•
Low doses of both apixaban (2.5 mg twice daily) and rivaroxaban (10 mg daily) have been shown to be effective at reducing the risk of recurrent VTE after initial therapy. Rivaroxaban 10 mg daily was superior to low-dose aspirin (100 mg) at reducing recurrent VTE without any difference in major bleeding, while apixaban
2.5 mg twice daily was effective at reducing recurrent VTE when compared with placebo without increasing major bleeding.
•
Patients with hemodynamic instability or those with suspected need for invasive management for PE were excluded from all DOAC clinical trials; UFH remains a better choice for initial therapy in these patients.
•
Clinical data are sparse on the safety of the DOACs in severe renal impairment, because this was an exclusion from their major clinical trials for VTE. UFH remains a better choice for initial therapy in these patients.

28-30
31
See Table 13-9 for a summary of the randomized data for DOACs in the treatment and secondary prevention of VTE.
Use of warfarin for treatment of VTE (see Chapter 2):
•
Typical warfarin initiation doses are between 5–10 mg; lower doses are needed in some populations who are sensitive to warfarin (see Chapter 2).
•
Higher initial treatment doses (e.g., 10 mg) have been associated with obtain­ing a more rapid therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR) in outpatients treated for DVT.
•
Delay in obtaining therapeutic INRs has the potential to prolong costly hospi­talization or LMWH therapy.
•
Ensure that all transitional care issues are addressed if initial therapy is given in the inpatient setting (follow-up INR scheduled, provider is aware of discharge and transition plans, duration of therapy is communicated).
•
Make sure the patient receives warfarin education and VTE education (Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal requirement and part of the VTE Core Measures).
•
Desired goal INR range is 2–3; higher INR targets have been linked to more bleeding events, and lower INR targets (1.5–2) were not as effective with no clear benefit on bleeding outcomes.
•
A lower INR range of 1.5–2 has been found to be superior to placebo after an initial 6 months of conventional goal therapy (2–3 target INR) and may be an option to help decrease the number of needed INR tests (INR measurements were 8 weeks apart if INR 1.3–3).
