Enoxaparin versus Unfractionated Heparin for the Perioperative Anticoagulant Therapy in Patients with Mechanical Prosthetic Heart Valve Undergoing Non-Cardiac Surgery
Abstract:Background and Objectives: Immediate postoperative anticoagulation regimens in patients with mechanical prosthetic valves undergoing non-cardiac surgery are clear only for unfractionated heparin (UH), whereas the few low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) trials available to date concern the use of Enoxaparin in general/orthopedic surgery. We performed a single-center real-world data study comparing the efficacy and safety of LMWH—Enoxaparin (E)— and UH during the perioperative period in non-cardiac surgical proc… Show more
