Direct Thromb<strong>in</strong>-<strong>in</strong>hibitors<br />

Hirud<strong>in</strong> and (Xi)melagatran<br />

Hirud<strong>in</strong>s directly <strong>in</strong>hibits free and bound thromb<strong>in</strong>.<br />

These compounds are anticoagulants that were<br />

orig<strong>in</strong>ally extracted from leeches and now are commercially<br />

available as the recomb<strong>in</strong>ant lepirud<strong>in</strong>e<br />

(Refludan ® ). Melagatran and its prodrug ximelagatran<br />

are synthetic compounds that are not commercially<br />

available yet. The elim<strong>in</strong>ation half-lives of lepirud<strong>in</strong>e<br />

(i.v.), melagatran (s.c.) and ximelagatran (p.o.) are 2<br />

– 3 h, 2 – 3 h and 4 – 5 h, respectively. Half-lives will<br />

be longer <strong>in</strong> the presence of renal <strong>in</strong>sufficiency. The<br />

anticoagulant effect can be quantified u<strong>si</strong>ng the aPTT.<br />

Up to date there are <strong>in</strong>sufficient data to make<br />

any recommendations concern<strong>in</strong>g the use of major<br />

nerve block<strong>in</strong>g techniques <strong>in</strong> patients treated with<br />

lepirud<strong>in</strong>e or (xi)melagatran. Based on the pharmacological<br />

profile of these compounds epidural and /or<br />

sp<strong>in</strong>al needle/catheters <strong>in</strong>sertion or catheter removal<br />

should only be performed when these drugs are no<br />

longer active: at least 8–10 h after last dose of these<br />

drugs and 2–4 h prior to the next adm<strong>in</strong>istration.<br />

WHAT ABOUT PERIPHERAL NERVE<br />

BLOCKS ?<br />

We have focused for this on the French gui<strong>de</strong>l<strong>in</strong>es<br />

as there is a lack on literature regard<strong>in</strong>g pos<strong>si</strong>ble<br />

complications of peripheral blocks un<strong>de</strong>r anticoagulated<br />

conditions. Major problems are rare while there<br />

are several reasons for this. Some blocks are superficial<br />

and a bleed<strong>in</strong>g will be <strong>de</strong>tected rather fast while<br />

compres<strong>si</strong>on is po<strong>si</strong>ble. In the most problematic case<br />

a surgical <strong>in</strong>tervention for <strong>de</strong>compres<strong>si</strong>on may be<br />

necessary. In several blocks the distance between<br />

the nerve and the blood vessel is at least 1cm but<br />

when <strong>in</strong> case of bleed<strong>in</strong>g most of the time a rather<br />

large vessel is <strong>in</strong>volved. The long duration of the block<br />

may make the differential diagno<strong>si</strong>s with nerve compres<strong>si</strong>on<br />

troublesome. Of course therapeutic anticoagulation<br />

preclu<strong>de</strong>s peripheral nerve blocks. In bor<strong>de</strong>rl<strong>in</strong>e<br />

conditions the placement of a catheter should<br />

be questioned.<br />
