Abstract
Maintaining the delicate balance of thrombostasis postoperatively requires
attention to preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative effects on the coagu-
lation cascade. Identifying preoperative risk factors for bleeding including med-
ication history, comorbid conditions, and prior bleeding complications is an
integral part of preventing postoperative bleeding complications. Outpatient
anticoagulant therapies are rapidly evolving with the development of novel
medications targeting specifi c coagulation factors such as thrombin and factor
Xa. These agents require an understanding of their effects and limitations in the
perioperative period. Additionally, an understanding of the interplay between
the coagulation cascade and external factors affecting platelet quantity and
function can help direct management of postoperative bleeding complications.
Applying appropriate monitoring techniques and result interpretation can guide
therapy especially in coagulopathic disease states such as disseminated intra-
vascular coagulopathy (DIC) and thrombocytopenia due to a variety of medica-
tions and specifi cally heparin.
6.1 Overview of Postoperative Bleeding
Cardiac surgery is associated with particular acquired hemostatic derangements
due primarily to the interaction of blood components with the surfaces of the car-
diopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit. The primary effects are due to hemodilution,
excessive fi brinolysis, and platelet dysfunction (Ozier and Bellamy 2010 ). During
CPB, anticoagulation with heparin is required to avoid clot formation, while post-
CPB, hemostasis must be reestablished. Hemodilution during the procedure results
in a 30–50 % decrease from baseline in platelets, coagulation factors, and packed
cell volume (Koh and Hunt 2003 ). Platelet dysfunction develops as a result of
CPB- related activation/degranulation, heparin exposure, and hypothermia (<36
°C). These abnormalities are likely the most important early postoperative hemo-
static defect (Despotis and Goodnough 2000 ). Additionally pH and plasma cal-
cium levels should be optimized to maintain >7.3 and 1 mmol/L, respectively
(Weber et al. 2013 ).
6.2 Preoperative Medication-Related Risk Factors
An assessment of risk factors for postoperative bleeding begins preoperatively.
Factors to consider include medication history, surgical history, documented coagu-
lopathies, baseline coagulation values, and comorbid conditions. Among the most
preventable risks of postoperative bleeding is an accurate medication history and
discontinuation of any anticoagulant, antiplatelet, or other medications affecting the

coagulation cascade or platelet function within the appropriate time frame. A risk/
benefi t assessment must be made with respect to patients at highest risk of thrombo-
sis (i.e., recent stent placement, history of recurrent venous thromboembolism,
mechanical valves). In some cases alternative anticoagulant therapy (i.e., unfrac-
tionated heparin) must be provided through the day of surgery due to the unaccept-
ably high risk of thrombosis following discontinuation of a longer acting
antithrombotic (Halasynski et al. 2004 ).
6.2.1 Oral Anticoagulants
Anticoagulants are a mainstay of cardiac medicine. Patients are prescribed with oral
antithrombotic agents for a variety of indications including prophylaxis/treatment
of venous thromboembolism (VTE), valve replacement, and atrial fi brillation. Over
the last 10 years, other oral agents with unique mechanisms of action have been
brought to market.
• Warfarin (Coumadin
®
) is perhaps the most well known of the oral anticoagu-
lants but is associated with many drug interactions (primarily involving the
cytochrome P450 enzyme system) and requires close monitoring. Its antico-
agulant effect involves inhibition of vitamin K dependent blood factors includ-
ing factors II, VII, IX, and X. In patients with VTE, therapy with warfarin
requires concurrent parenteral therapy for a period of 4–5 days and a therapeu-
tic international normalized ratio (INR) to allow for adequate inhibition of fac-
tor II, which has a half-life of approximately 60 h. Side effects include bleeding,
microvascular thrombosis, and, rarely, nonhemorrhagic cholesterol emboliza-
tion to the feet and toes. Risk factors for bleeding include age >65, history of
gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding or stroke, hematocrit <30 %, creatinine >1.5,
malignancy, hepatic disease, and diabetes (Ageno et al. 2012 ). In patients pre-
viously stable on warfarin who are unable to take medications enterally, the IV
formulation can be administered at the same dose. Lower doses of the IV for-
mulation may be required in the hospitalized patient due to decreased intake of
vitamin K, acute illness, and interacting medications. Higher doses may be
required in patients receiving vitamin K containing enteral nutritional supple-
ments (Dager 2011 ; Wittkowsky 2011 ).
• Dabigatran (Pradaxa
®
) is a direct thrombin ( factor IIa ) inhibitor that requires no
monitoring, has limited drug interactions [involving mainly the p-glycoprotein
(P-gp) effl ux transporter present in the GI tract versus the cytochrome P450
(CYP) system], and is dosed twice daily. Onset of anticoagulation occurs between
30 and 120 min post dose (Brighton 2010 ). Plasma levels of this agent are
affected by age and renal function. Age >65, female gender, and renal dysfunc-
tion are factors associated with higher plasma levels and bleeding risk. The pri-
mary drawback of this agent is the lack of a reversal agent or routinely available
monitoring parameters. The primary side effects are bleeding (particularly GI)

and dyspepsia. Signifi cant drug interactions involve induction or inhibition of
the P-gp transporter and include inhibitors such as amiodarone, dronedarone,
diltiazem, verapamil, ketoconazole, quinidine, and clarithromycin and inducers
such as rifampin. Absorption of dabigatran etexilate can be reduced postopera-
tively due to decreased GI motility and use of proton pump inhibitors such as
pantoprazole (Ageno et al. 2012 ).
• Rivaroxaban (Xarelto
®
) is a direct factor Xa inhibitor that has no monitoring
requirements, comparatively minimal drug interactions, and is dosed once
daily. The onset of action is between 2 and 4 h post dose (Brighton 2010 ).
Combined strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 and P-gp, including ketoconazole,
itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and HIV protease inhibitors may
increase systemic levels of rivaroxaban and potential risk of bleeding.
Combined strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inducers can reduce rivaroxaban levels
and include rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazapine, phenobarbital, and St. John’s
wort (Ageno et al. 2012 ).
• Apixaban (Eliquis
®
) is the newest direct factor Xa inhibitor approved by the
FDA and, as with rivaroxaban, has no monitoring requirements and has limited
drug interactions. Coadministration of apixaban with strong dual inhibitors of
CYP3A4 and P-gp, including but not limited to ketoconazole, itraconazole, rito-
navir, and clarithromycin can result in increased levels of apixaban. Similarly,
coadministration of this agent with strong dual inducers of CYP3A4 and P-gp
(i.e., rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St. John’s wort) can result in subthera-
peutic levels of apixaban. This agent is dosed twice daily and has an onset of
action between 3 and 4 h post dose (Table 6.1 ).
6.2.2 Parenteral Anticoagulants
Unfractionated heparin (UFH), low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), direct
thrombin inhibitors, and indirect factor Xa inhibitors are parenteral agents with
varying dosing schedules and clinical uses. Heparin and LMWH are used for the
treatment of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), VTE, and for prophylaxis of throm-
botic events. Both UFH and LMWH indirectly inhibit factor IIa and Xa, with
LMWH having a higher affi nity for factor Xa. Fondaparinux is an indirect factor Xa
inhibitor used for treatment and prophylaxis of VTE. Direct thrombin inhibitors
(DTIs) are used in the treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and
include argatroban and bivalirudin (Angiomax
®
). Of the available DTIs, bivalirudin
has been used in patients with a history of HIT requiring cardiac surgery. Of the
agents listed in Table 6.2 , heparin and the DTIs are the primary parenteral antico-
agulants in the cardiac surgery setting and will therefore be the focus in this
section.
• Heparin is the anticoagulant of choice in the cardiac surgery setting due to its
fast onset/offset, reversibility with protamine, and point of care (POC) moni-
toring option. Benefi ts during CPB include inactivation of thrombin and factor
Xa thereby reducing the risk of clot formation in the circuit. Typical doses

include 20,000–30,000 units to achieve a target ACT of 300–350 s, although
this varies widely among cardiac surgery centers. Rarely, patients may require
doses of heparin exceeding 500 units/kg without achieving the target ACT.
These patients may have a reduced response to heparin due to low levels of
antithrombin (AT), excessive factor VIII, or excessive fi brinogen (Dager 2011 ).
Antithrombin is a required cofactor for the anticoagulant effect of heparin.
Risk factors for antithrombin defi ciency include preoperative heparin, place-
ment of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IAPB), elevated platelet counts, and
infective endocarditis (Ranucci et al. 1999 ). Repletion of AT and subsequent
goal ACT can be achieved with administration of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or
commercially available concentrates (i.e., Thrombate
®
) (Lemmer and Despotis
2002 ).
• Argatroban and bivalirudin are DTIs and are the primary agents used in the treat-
ment of HIT. Bivalirudin has been used as the intraoperative anticoagulant in
patients with a history of HIT or those who require surgical intervention in the
presence of active HIT.
6.2.3 Antiplatelet Agents
Antiplatelet therapy is a cornerstone of primary and secondary prevention of cardio-
vascular disease in patients with a history of myocardial infarction, ACS, and some
valvulopathies. Thienopyridines (clopidogrel and prasugrel) are hepatically or
enzymatically metabolized to active metabolites which bind to the platelet P2Y
12
receptor causing irreversible platelet inhibition. Antiplatelet therapy should be eval-
uated perioperatively with respect to dose, duration, last dose administered, and
hemorrhagic side effects.
• Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) which pre-
vents production of thromboxane A2. This results in inhibition of platelet acti-
vation and aggregation. At any given point, the age of circulating platelets
ranges from 1 to 10 days. New platelets with functioning COX-1 are continu-
ally being produced and replace 10–15 % of inhibited platelets daily allowing
overall platelet function to return gradually over a period of 7 days (Gibbs et al.
2001 ).
• Clopidogrel is a prodrug hepatically metabolized in two-step process to an active
form which inhibits ADP binding to the platelet P2Y
12
receptor. This results in
inhibition of ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa)
complex and resultant platelet aggregation. The amount of the active form in
circulation varies due to genetic variation in hepatic metabolism (CYP2C19) and
drug interactions affecting CYP2C19 (i.e., proton pump inhibitors). These fac-
tors may contribute to the variable response associated with this agent. Data
evaluating the concurrent administration of omeprazole demonstrated no clini-
cally relevant interaction; however, the manufacturer recommends the use of
pantoprazole due to less inhibitory effect on CYP2C19 (Wallentin 2009 ;
Wallentin et al. 2009 ; Patrono et al. 2011 ).

170
• Prasugrel is a prodrug similar to clopidogrel and exhibits antiplatelet effects by
the same mechanism. However, it is unaffected by polymorphisms in CYP2C19
or interactions with proton pump inhibitors. Additionally, the active component
is produced following a one-step hepatic conversion resulting in a greater amount
of metabolite formed following a loading dose. Prasugrel is 10x more potent than
clopidogrel with a more rapid onset (30 min vs 1 h with 600 mg loading dose of
clopidogrel) and less variation in response (Eikelboom et al. 2012 ; Patrono et al.
2011 ).
• Ticagrelor undergoes enzymatic degradation to an active metabolite. Onset of
action is approximately 30 min post loading dose of 180 mg (Weitz et al.
2012 ).
• Intravenous antiplatelet agents administered primarily during percutaneous cor-
onary intervention (PCI) include abciximab, eptifi batide, and tirofi ban . These
agents block the binding of fi brinogen to the GP IIb/IIIa receptor and subsequent
platelet aggregation. Abciximab is a monoclonal antibody which acts as a non-
competitive inhibitor while eptifi batide and tirofi ban are competitive inhibitors
and therefore require high plasma levels for adequate antiplatelet effect (Patrono
et al. 2011 ; Bojar 2011 ) (Table 6.3 ).
6.3 Other Agents
Supplements such as fi sh oil, vitamin E (>400 units/day) and herbal supplements
can signifi cantly impact coagulation and platelet function and should be discontin-
ued at least 5 days prior to surgery. Examples of herbal supplements with anticoagu-
lant or antiplatelet activity include chamomile, garlic, chondroitin, evening primrose
oil, ginger, feverfew, ginseng, kava, mate, and goldenseal (Halasynski et al. 2004 ).
6.4 Monitoring Coagulation Status
The fi nal product of a functioning coagulation cascade is the dynamic harmony
between clot formation and dissolution known as hemostasis. Achieving hemostasis
involves not only blood factors and platelets but also proteins (i.e., cytokines) and
non-platelet cells (i.e., endothelial cells). Instability in the coagulation system due
to interaction between these factors, often released in situations of vascular injury
(i.e., surgery) or various illnesses (i.e., malignancy), increases the risk of hemor-
rhage or thrombosis. Within the coagulation system are two pathways known as the
extrinsic pathway and the intrinsic pathway. Pathway function can be assessed by
common laboratory tests (Table 6.4 ).
Thromboelastography, via either inpatient laboratory or point-of-care
reporting, is becoming more widely available. This type of monitoring pro-
vides a graphic representation of a patient’s complete coagulation status.
Tracings demonstrating hemorrhagic and thrombotic states are shown in
