Maurizio Bertaina: Optimizing Anticoagulation in Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support
Maurizio Bertaina, Cardiologist at ASL Città di Torino – Giovanni Bosco Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn abouta recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Interventional Cardiology Clinics, adding:
“‘Optimizing Anticoagulation Therapy when Utilizing Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices”.
Another contribution on temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS), focusing on a key determinant of clinical benefit: optimal anticoagulation management.
In this review, we revisit the available evidence on anticoagulation during tMCS and propose a practical, integrated approach to its management.
The goal is to balance thrombotic and bleeding risk while accounting for the complex and dynamic hemostatic changes of cardiogenic shock and mechanical support.
We emphasize a multiparametric strategy, integrating anti-Xa, aPTT, fibrinogen, antithrombin and the overall clinical scenario rather than relying on a single
Many thanks to Mario lannaccone for the opportunity and to Luca Franchin, Aleksandra Gąsecka for the great collaboration on this review.”
