Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of continuing preoperative aspirin monotherapy on surgical outcomes in patients receiving antiplatelet therapy (APT). BACKGROUND The effectiveness of continuing preoperative aspirin monotherapy in patients undergoing APT in preventing thromboembolic consequences is mostly unknown. METHODS This prospective multicenter cohort study on the Safety and Feasibility of Gastroenterological Surgery in Patients Undergoing Antithrombotic Therapy (GSATT study) conducted at 14 clinical centers enrolled and screened patients between October 2019 and December 2021. The participants (n=1170) were assigned to the continued-APT group, discontinued-APT group, or non-APT group, and the surgical outcomes of each group were compared. Propensity score matching was performed between the continued and discontinued-APT groups to investigate the effect of continuing preoperative aspirin therapy on thromboembolic complications. RESULTS The rate of thromboembolic complications in the continued-APT group was substantially lower than that in the non-APT or discontinued-APT groups (0.5% vs 2.6% vs. 2.9%; P =0.027). Multivariate investigation of the entire cohort revealed that discontinuation of APT ( P <0.001) and chronic anticoagulant use ( P <0.001) were independent risk factors for postoperative thromboembolism. The post-matching evaluation demonstrated that the rates of thromboembolic complications were significantly different between the continued and discontinued-APT groups (0.6% vs 3.3%; P =0.012). CONCLUSIONS APT discontinuation after elective gastroenterological surgery increases the risk of thromboembolic consequences, whereas continuing preoperative aspirin greatly reduces this risk. The continuation of preoperative aspirin therapy in APT-received patients is considered one of the best alternatives for preventing thromboembolism during elective gastroenterological surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide procedure-specific estimates of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major bleeding after abdominal surgery. BACKGROUND The use of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis represents a trade-off that depends on VTE and bleeding risks that vary between procedures; their magnitude remains uncertain. METHODS We identified observational studies reporting procedure-specific risks of symptomatic VTE or major bleeding after abdominal surgery, adjusted the reported estimates for thromboprophylaxis and length of follow-up, and estimated cumulative incidence at 4 weeks postsurgery, stratified by VTE risk groups, and rated evidence certainty. RESULTS After eligibility screening, 285 studies (8,048,635 patients) reporting on 40 general abdominal, 36 colorectal, 15 upper gastrointestinal, and 24 hepatopancreatobiliary surgery procedures proved eligible. Evidence certainty proved generally moderate or low for VTE and low or very low for bleeding requiring reintervention. The risk of VTE varied substantially among procedures: in general abdominal surgery from a median of <0.1% in laparoscopic cholecystectomy to a median of 3.7% in open small bowel resection, in colorectal from 0.3% in minimally invasive sigmoid colectomy to 10.0% in emergency open total proctocolectomy, and in upper gastrointestinal/hepatopancreatobiliary from 0.2% in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy to 6.8% in open distal pancreatectomy for cancer. CONCLUSIONS VTE thromboprophylaxis provides net benefit through VTE reduction with a small increase in bleeding in some procedures (eg, open colectomy and open pancreaticoduodenectomy), whereas the opposite is true in others (eg, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and elective groin hernia repairs). In many procedures, thromboembolism and bleeding risks are similar, and decisions depend on individual risk prediction and values and preferences regarding VTE and bleeding.

Assessing the use of Extended Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis on the Rates of Venous Thromboembolism and Postpancreatectomy Hemorrhage Following Pancreatectomy for Malignancy. Ann Surg 2023; 278:e80-e86.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) in patients with pancreatic or periampullary malignancy preimplementation and postimplementation of routine extended VTE prophylaxis. BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend up to 28 days of VTE prophylaxis following major abdominal cancer operations. There is a paucity of data examining rates of VTE and PPH in patients who receive extended VTE prophylaxis following pancreatectomy. METHODS Single-institution analysis of patients who underwent pancreatectomy for malignancy (2004-2021). VTE and PPH rates within 90 days of discharge were compared based on receipt of extended VTE prophylaxis with enoxaparin. RESULTS A total of 478 patients were included. Twenty-two (4.6%) patients developed a postoperative VTE, 12 (2.5%) of which occurred postdischarge. Twenty-five (5.2%) patients experienced PPH, 13 (2.7%) of which occurred postdischarge. There was no associated difference in the development of postdischarge VTE between patients who received extended VTE prophylaxis and those who did not (2.3% vs 2.8%, P =0.99). There was no associated difference in the rate of postdischarge PPH between patients who received extended VTE prophylaxis and those who did not (3.4% vs 1.9%, P =0.43). In the subset of patients on antiplatelet agents, the addition of enoxaparin did not appear to be associated with higher VTE (3.9 vs. 0%, P =0.31) or PPH (3.0 vs. 4.5%, P =0.64) rates. CONCLUSIONS Extended VTE prophylaxis following pancreatectomy for malignancy was not associated with differences in postdischarge VTE and PPH rates. These data suggest extended VTE prophylaxis is safe but may not be necessary for all patients following pancreatectomy.

Impact of Aspirin Intake on Postoperative Survival after Primary Pancreatic Resection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma-A Single-Center Evaluation. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11051466. [PMID: 37239137 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11051466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The intake of aspirin (ASS) has been demonstrated to have a relevant impact on the pathogenesis, incidence and outcome in different solid gastrointestinal tumors. However, data on the effect of ASS on the short-term outcome and the long-term survival in patients with pancreatic carcinoma are still limited. (2) Methods: A total of 213 patients who underwent primary resection of PDAC at the University Hospital of Erlangen from January 2000 to December 2018 were included in this retrospective single-center study in total. Patients were stratified according to the aspirin intake into three groups: continuous aspirin intake (cASS), perioperatively interrupted aspirin intake (iASS) and no aspirin intake (no ASS) at the timepoint of surgery. The postoperative outcome as well as long-term survival were compared between the groups. (3) Results: There were no differences regarding postoperative morbidity (iASS: 54% vs. cASS: 53% vs. no ASS: 64%, p = 0.448) and in-hospital mortality (iASS: 4% vs. cASS: 10% vs. no ASS: 3%, p = 0.198) between the groups. The overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) did not differ in the groups when comparing the ASS-intake status (OS: iASS 17.8 months vs. cASS 19.6 months vs. no ASS 21.6 months, p = 0.489; DFS: iASS 14.0 months vs. cASS 18.3 months vs. no ASS 14.7 months, p = 0.957). Multivariate analysis revealed that age (hazard ratio (HR) 2.2, p < 0.001), lymph node-positive status (HR 2.0, p < 0.001), R status 1 or 2 (HR 2.8, p < 0.001) and differentiation with a grading of 3 (HR 1.7, p = 0.005) were significant independent prognostic factors regarding the OS. Moreover, age (HR 1.5, p = 0.040), lymph node-positive status (HR 1.8, p = 0.002) and high-grade (G3) carcinomas (HR 1.5, p = 0.037) could be identified as independent prognostic parameters for DFS. (4) Conclusions: In patients undergoing primary surgery for curative resection of pancreatic carcinoma, the perioperative intake of ASS had no significant impact on postoperative outcome, overall and disease-free survival.
