Pharmaceutical care in thrombocytopenia after bioprosthetic heart valve replacement
To provide a reference for anticoagulation therapy, adverse drug reaction monitoring, and individualized medication adjustment in complex cases, such as those with thrombocytopenia following bioprosthetic heart valve replacement.
METHODS
2
Clinical pharmacists participated in the pharmaceutical care of a patient with thrombocytopenia following bioprosthetic heart valve replacement. For cardiac insufficiency, the pharmacists recommended maintaining oral bisoprolol, sacubitril/valsartan, spironolactone, furosemide, and potassium chloride, with levosimendan added to enhance myocardial contractility, while monitoring blood pressure, heart rate and serum potassium levels. For thrombocytopenia, based on literature-based risk assessment, the pharmacists advised administering recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11), platelet transfusion, and employing anticoagulation therapy with nadroparin calcium bridging to warfarin, with warfarin dosage adjusted according to the international normalized ratio (INR). For rapid ventricular rate atrial fibrillation, amiodarone and digoxin were recommended. For acute liver injury, suspected to be induced by amiodarone and rhIL-11, the pharmacists suggested discontinuing the relevant drugs and treating with ademetionine 1,4-butanedisulfonate combined with polyene phosphatidylcholine for liver protection treatment. The patient received anticoagulation medication education emphasizing strict INR monitoring and close observation for bleeding or thrombotic events.
RESULTS
2
The clinicians adopted these recommendations. Following the intervention, the patient’s liver function showed significant improvement, with alanine aminotransferase decreasing to 70 U/L and aspartate aminotransferase to 42 U/L. The ventricular rate stabilized at 70-100 beats per minute, cardiac function remained stable, the INR was maintained within the target range of 1.80-2.50, and the patient was ultimately discharged with improved condition.
CONCLUSIONS
2
Through balancing anticoagulation and bleeding risks, the clinical pharmacists applied pharmaceutical expertise to assist in developing personalized anticoagulation regimens, conducted adverse drug reaction monitoring and evaluation, and optimized medication strategies, thereby effectively ensuring patient safety and therapeutic efficacy.
