Abstract
PURPOSE Few studies have reported on the interactions between gastrectomy and antithrombotic therapy, especially the long-term prognosis. We aimed to clarify the short- and long-term prognosis of gastrectomy for patients on antithrombotic therapy. METHODS We reviewed the perioperative data and survival rate of patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) at our institute between 2010 and 2013. RESULTS There were 119 patients enrolled in this retrospective study: 31 who were taking antithrombotic drugs (antithrombotic therapy (ATT) group), and 88 who were not (non-ATT group). The mean age was significantly higher in the ATT group than in the non-ATT group. No significant differences were observed in the amount of intraoperative bleeding or blood hemoglobin level after surgery between the groups. Bleeding complications occurred in only one patient from the ATT group, and the postoperative complication rate was comparable between the groups. During follow-up, cerebrovascular or cardiovascular events developed in 19.4% of the ATT group patients and 4.5% of the non-ATT group patients; however, there were no significant differences in the 5-year overall survival rates between the groups (ATT group, 76.9%; non-ATT group, 82.9%). CONCLUSIONS Antithrombotic therapy did not affect the short-term or long-term prognosis of patients after LDG.

Abstract
Introduction Subclavian stenosis has a prevalence of approximately 2% in the community, and 7% within a clinical population. It is closely linked with hypertension and smoking. There is a relative paucity of published data to inform clinicians on the optimal mode of treatment for subclavian artery stenosis. Objectives To compare clinical outcomes of subclavian bypass surgery with that of subclavian endovascular re-vascularisation. Endpoints were survival time, re-intervention-free survival, and symptom-free survival. Method In all, 21 subclavian interventions were performed from 2000 to 2010. We compared angioplasty vs angioplasty with stenting vs bypass. Results Technical success was 100% in all groups. Symptom-free survival, at 70 months, was 60% in the angioplasty group, 100% in the angioplasty and stenting group and 75% in the bypass group. Re-intervention rate was 40% in the angioplasty group, 0% in the angioplasty and stenting group and 25% in the bypass group. Median time for re-intervention was 9.5 months in angioplasty patients and 36 months in bypass patients ( p = 0.102). Target lesion revascularisation was 20.0% for angioplasty procedures, 16.67% for angioplasty and stenting and 25% for bypass procedures. Conclusion Angioplasty with stenting provides improved symptom-free survival and freedom from re-intervention in patients with symptomatic subclavian artery stenosis.

Effect of antiplatelet therapy on patients undergoing gastroenterological surgery: thromboembolic risks versus bleeding risks during its perioperative withdrawal. World J Surg 2015; 39:139-49.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiplatelet agents given to prevent thromboembolic disease are frequently withdrawn prior to surgical procedures to reduce bleeding complications. This action may expose patients to increased thromboembolic morbidity and mortality. METHODS A series of 2012 patients who had undergone gastroenterologic surgery between January 2005 and June 2010 at our institution were reviewed. Among this cohort, antiplatelet therapy (APT) was used in 519 patients (25.8 %). The perioperative management included interruption of APT 1 week before surgery and early postoperative reinstitution in patients at low thromboembolic risk, although APT was maintained until surgery in those at high thromboembolic risk. Bleeding and thromboembolic complications, as well as other outcome variables, were assessed in patients with and without APT. RESULTS Among 519 patients with APT, 99 (19.1 %) underwent multidrug APT. Among them, 124 (23.9 %) required preoperative continuation of APT. None suffered from excessive bleeding intraoperatively. There were 19 thromboembolic events (0.9 %) in the whole cohort. Postoperative bleeding complications occurred in 37 patients (1.8 %). Multivariate analysis showed that increased postoperative bleeding complications were independently associated with multidrug APT [hazard ratio (HR) 4.3, p = 0.014], high-risk surgical procedures (HR 3.5, p = 0.003), and perioperative heparin bridging (HR 2.8, p = 0.029). High-risk surgery (HR 8.3, p < 0.001) and poor performance status (HR 4.9, p = 0.005)--but neither APT nor anticoagulation use--were significant prognostic factors for thromboembolic complications. CONCLUSIONS Satisfactory outcomes were obtained during gastroenterologic surgery under rigorous perioperative management, including single-agent APT continuation in patients at high thromboembolic risk. Patients treated with multidrug APT still represent a challenging group, however, and need to be carefully managed to prevent perioperative complications.

Does antiplatelet therapy affect outcomes of patients receiving abdominal laparoscopic surgery? Lessons from more than 1,000 laparoscopic operations in a single tertiary referral hospital. J Am Coll Surg 2013; 217:1044-53. [PMID: 24051069 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2013.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2013] [Revised: 08/08/2013] [Accepted: 08/08/2013] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of antiplatelet therapy (APT) on surgical blood loss and perioperative complications in patients receiving abdominal laparoscopic surgery still remains unclear. STUDY DESIGN A total of 1,075 consecutive patients undergoing abdominal laparoscopic surgery between 2005 and 2011 were reviewed. Our perioperative management protocol consisted of interruption of APT 1 week before surgery and early postoperative reinstitution in low thromboembolic risk patients (n = 160, iAPT group). Preoperative APT was maintained in patients with high thromboembolic risk or emergent situation (n = 52, cAPT group). Perioperative and outcomes variables of cAPT and iAPT groups, including bleeding and thromboembolic complications, were compared with those of patients without APT (non-APT group, n = 863). RESULTS In this cohort, 715 basic and 360 advanced laparoscopic operations were included. No patient suffering excessive intraoperative bleeding due to continuation of APT was observed. There were 10 postoperative bleeding complications (0.9%) and 3 thromboembolic events (0.3%), but the surgery was free of both complications in the cAPT group. No significant differences were found between the groups in operative blood loss, blood transfusion rate, and the occurrence of bleeding and thromboembolic complications. Multivariable analyses showed that multiple antiplatelet agents (p = 0.015) and intraoperative blood transfusion (p = 0.046) were significant prognostic factors for postoperative bleeding complications. Increased thromboembolic complications were independently associated with high New York Heart Association class (p = 0.019) and history of cerebral infarction (p = 0.048), but not associated with APT use. CONCLUSIONS Abdominal laparoscopic operations were successfully performed without any increase in severe complications in patients with APT compared with the non-APT group under our rigorous perioperative assessment and management. Maintenance of single APT should be considered in patients with high thromboembolic risk, even when an abdominal laparoscopic approach is considered.

Abstract
In the preoperative setting, a standardized questionnaire on bleeding history cannot be replaced by the Quick test or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) measurement. Thrombelastometry provides rapid measurement of coagulation in the intra- and postoperative settings. Besides the Quick test and APTT, thrombelastometry provides information about clot firmness and clot stability. This allows goal-directed management in coagulopathy, which results in a reduction of transfusion of blood products. Furthermore, this can lead to not only an overall reduced length of stay in the hospital, but also in the intensive care unit, thus, contributing to a significant cost reduction.
