Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the critical complications that can occur after surgery. A positive association between cancer and VTE risk is well established; however, the safety and efficacy of VTE prophylaxis have not been established in hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery, especially in surgery for malignancies.
A prospective, multi-center Phase I study to determine the safety of enoxaparin was performed. Subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin was initiated 48-72 h after surgery and repeated for 8 days. The primary endpoint was the incidence of bleeding events. This study was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000007761).
A total of 154 patients was registered and 133 patients including 74 hepatectomies and 35 pancreaticoduodenectomies were analyzed. Three patients (2.3%) exhibited major bleeding events postoperatively, while 7 (5.2%) had minor bleeding. No Symptomatic VTE was observed.
Our study indicated that enoxaparin was well tolerated and safe for patients who received hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery for malignancies.
静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)是手术后可能发生的严重并发症之一。癌症与 VTE 风险之间存在正相关关系已得到充分证实;然而,VTE 预防的安全性和有效性尚未在肝胆胰手术中得到证实,特别是在恶性肿瘤的手术中。
进行了一项前瞻性、多中心的 I 期研究,以确定依诺肝素的安全性。手术 48-72 小时后开始皮下注射依诺肝素,并重复使用 8 天。主要终点是出血事件的发生率。该研究在大学医院医疗信息网络临床试验注册中心(UMIN000007761)注册。
共登记了 154 例患者,其中 133 例包括 74 例肝切除术和 35 例胰十二指肠切除术进行了分析。术后有 3 例(2.3%)患者出现大出血事件,7 例(5.2%)患者有轻微出血。无症状性 VTE 发生。
我们的研究表明,依诺肝素在接受肝胆胰恶性肿瘤手术的患者中耐受良好且安全。
