As both APTT and APTT-based coagulation method cannot distinguish heparin effect from intrinsic coagulation factor deficiency, we implemented thromboelastography (TEG) for the coagulation assessment in a patient with hemophilia A undergoing an endovascular surgery with heparinization.
A 68-year-old male with hemophilia A underwent endovascular aortic repair for abdominal aortic aneurism. TEG results showed recovery of coagulation time (R) in both kaolin assay (CK) and kaolin-heparinase assay (CKH) after factor VIII replacement before heparinization. Against our expectations, R-CKH was slightly prolonged (9.0 min) during heparinization. After the administration of protamine sulfate, R in both assays showed similar values within the normal ranges.
The combination of CK and CKH assays could be useful to estimate factor VIII (FVIII) level when heparin concentration is low or without heparin; however, caution should be necessary for estimation of FVIII level by TEG under the effect of medium- or high-dose heparin.
由于活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT)及其凝血方法均无法区分肝素效应与内源性凝血因子缺乏,因此我们采用血栓弹力图(TEG)对一名接受肝素化血管内手术的甲型血友病患者进行凝血评估。
一名68岁的甲型血友病男性患者接受了腹主动脉瘤的血管内主动脉修复术。TEG结果显示,在肝素化前进行因子VIII替代后,高岭土试验(CK)和高岭土-肝素酶试验(CKH)中的凝血时间(R)均恢复正常。出乎我们意料的是,肝素化期间R-CKH略有延长(9.0分钟)。在给予硫酸鱼精蛋白后,两种试验中的R值均显示在正常范围内且相近。
当肝素浓度较低或无肝素时,CK和CKH试验相结合可能有助于评估因子VIII(FVIII)水平;然而,在中高剂量肝素作用下,通过TEG评估FVIII水平时应谨慎。
