To investigate treatment modalities for children with extremity indwelling catheter (EIC)- or cardiac catheter-related arterial thrombosis.
The treatment of consecutive cases of catheter-related arterial thrombosis (CAT) at our institution between 2002 and 2017 was analyzed retrospectively.
A total of 242 CATs developed in 224 children. Of these, 125 (52%) were EIC-related and 117 (48%) were cardiac catheter-related. Treatment included heparin alone in 60 cases (25%), acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) alone in 6 cases (2%), heparin followed by ASA in 171 cases (71%), heparin followed by vitamin K antagonist (VKA) in 4 cases (1.5%), and VKA alone in 1 case (0.5%). Complete resolution of CAT was observed in 173 cases (71.5%), partial resolution in 13 cases (5.4%), and no resolution in 56 cases (23.1%). No statistical significance in the resolution rate was observed between treatment groups (P = .23). In 66% of cases, complete resolution occurred at a median of 18 days (range, 4-44 days) with heparin alone. A switch from heparin to ASA in children with partial or no resolution of CAT did not increase the resolution rate at follow-up.
Heparin is an efficient treatment modality for CAT in pediatric patients. Long-term, subsequent treatment with ASA does not increase the resolution rate.
探讨儿童肢体留置导管(EIC)或心导管相关动脉血栓形成的治疗方法。
回顾性分析了 2002 年至 2017 年期间我院连续发生的导管相关动脉血栓形成(CAT)病例的治疗情况。
224 例儿童共发生 242 例 CAT,其中 125 例(52%)为 EIC 相关,117 例(48%)为心导管相关。治疗包括肝素单独治疗 60 例(25%)、乙酰水杨酸(ASA)单独治疗 6 例(2%)、肝素后继以 ASA 治疗 171 例(71%)、肝素后继以维生素 K 拮抗剂(VKA)治疗 4 例(1.5%)、VKA 单独治疗 1 例(0.5%)。173 例(71.5%)CAT 完全缓解,13 例(5.4%)部分缓解,56 例(23.1%)无缓解。各组间的缓解率无统计学差异(P=0.23)。肝素单独治疗的中位缓解时间为 18 天(4-44 天),66%的病例完全缓解。对于 CAT 部分或无缓解的患儿,从肝素转为 ASA 并不能提高缓解率。
肝素是儿科患者 CAT 的有效治疗方法。长期后续应用 ASA 并不能提高缓解率。
