9 Rivarxaban Mnitring f Effect Duxfils J et al. Thrmbsis Research 2012; 130 (Suppl 2),

10 Rivarxaban Mnitring f Effect Nrmal prthrmbin time in the presence f therapeutic levels f rivarxaban The baseline PT fr this patient was clse t the lwer limit f the nrmal range s the prlngatin ver baseline caused by the drug was nt sufficient t extend the PT abve the upper limit f the nrmal range. A nrmal PT des nt always exclude therapeutic anticagulatin. It serves as a cautin against reliance n the PT in the assessment f cagulatin intensity f patients n rivarxaban. Van Veen JJ et al. BJH 2013; 160,

11 Rivarxaban Mnitring f Effect N data available that assciate PT changes with bleeding risk N data available suggesting that PT is a valid marker fr the anticagulant efficacy In emergency situatins in patients n rivarxaban, a prlnged PT therefre may at mst suggest the recent intake f the drug: it wuld suggest the likely intake f rivarxaban in the last 7 hurs. Cnversely, a nn-delayed PT will nly suggest that rivarxaban was likely taken mre than apprximately 7 hurs ag. The planning f an urgent surgical/invasive prcedure based n the results f the PT/aPTT (as fr VKAs and unfractinated heparin) is nt a validated strategy and cannt be recmmended at the current time A mre specific test and sensitive fxa assay shuld be used t cnfirm the plasma cncentratin f rivarxaban

15 Apixaban Mnitring f Effect Duxfils J et al. Thrmbsis Haemstasis 2013; 110,

16 Dabigatran Mnitring f Effect aptt Gives nly apprximate indicatin f the anticagulatin intensity Is useful t determine an excess f anticagulant activity in patients wh are bleeding r at risk f bleeding Limited sensitivity and nt suitable fr precise quantificatin f the anticagulant effect, especially at high plasma cncentratins f dabigatran. Duxfils J et al. Thrmb Haemst 2012; 107,

18 Dabigatran Mnitring f Effect HTI Thrmbin Time (TT) and Hemclt Thrmbin Inhibitr (HTI) Nrmal TT measurement indicates n clinically relevant anticagulant effect f dabigatran Thrmbin Time (TT) t sensitive when cncentratins > 25 ng/ml A calibrated diluted thrmbin time (dtt) with dabigatran standards t calculate the dabigatran plasma cncentratin is necessary Linear relatinship between dabigatran cncentratin and the dtt (HTI), which is therefre suitable fr the precise quantitative assessment f dabigatran cncentratins Duxfils J et al.
