Use of Enoxaparin in Patients After Implantation of Left Ventricular Assist Device
Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are utilized in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Warfarin is typically employed for long-term anticoagulation, but there are no standardized recommendations for anticoagulant therapy during the postoperative period. One option to bridge the time until therapeutic INR is achieved after LVAD implantation is the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) enoxaparin, which was investigated for its efficacy and safety in this indication by experts from Kansas, USA, cited in the following study.
