Abstract
One of the crucial risk factors for development of severe postthrombotic disease (PTD) is the recurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). New opportunities for pharmacological thromboprophylaxis of secondary thrombophilia were associated with the direct thrombin inhibitor-Dabigatran (Pradaxa; Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany). We aimed to investigate the daily pharmacodynamics of dabigatran in healthy volunteers and patients with PTD. Treatment with dabigatran in patients with PTD having chronic chronometric hypercoagulation and structural hypocoagulation before the administration of the drug is fraught with excessive anticoagulation and a high risk of clinically significant bleeding. In patients with PTD with detected chronometric and structural hypercoagulability before taking a direct thrombin inhibitor, treatment with dabigatran is fraught with possible inadequate anticoagulation and a high risk of clinically significant relapses of thromboses. According to our data, markers of risk of hemorrhagic complications under Dabigatran are the thromboelastography indicators lying within the reference values of the healthy before the administration of the drug: fibrin-platelet clot formation, maximum amplitude of TEG; total lytic activity of blood, and thrombodynamic potential index . Monitoring the effects of the targeted anticoagulant demonstrated the need for correction of dosage and discrete use of the drug in prevention and treatment for thrombohemorrhagic complications in this category of patients. The results of the study prove the efficiency of the therapy with dabigatran and "behavior" of hemostatic potential in patients being taken into account and controlled. Therapy may be long term but requires dynamic monitoring of patients with timely dose adjustment to achieve and maintain the target level of hemostatic potential.
