Risk of bleeding and adverse outcomes predicted by thromboelastography platelet mapping in patients taking clopidogrel within 7 days of non-cardiac surgery

Background Patients often fail to stop clopidogrel appropriately before non‐cardiac surgery. Thromboelastography platelet mapping (TEG‐PM) can be used to measure the percentage adenosine 5′‐diphosphate platelet receptor inhibition (ADP‐PRI) by clopidogrel in these patients. Methods This prospective...

Zusammenfassung:Background Patients often fail to stop clopidogrel appropriately before non‐cardiac surgery. Thromboelastography platelet mapping (TEG‐PM) can be used to measure the percentage adenosine 5′‐diphosphate platelet receptor inhibition (ADP‐PRI) by clopidogrel in these patients. Methods This prospective case–control study investigated the risk of bleeding in patients who had taken clopidogrel within 7 days of scheduled operation. Patients underwent TEG‐PM to stratify their bleeding risk. Low‐risk (ADP‐PRI below 30 per cent) and urgent priority high‐risk (ADP‐PRI 30 per cent or more) patients proceeded to surgery. The outcomes of these patients were compared with those of matched controls. Regression analysis, with bootstrapping validation, was used to identify independent risk factors for bleeding and an optimal cut‐off value of ADP‐PRI for cancellation of surgery. Results From May 2008 to October 2013, 182 patients failed to discontinue clopidogrel. No correlation was observed between duration of clopidogrel omission and percentage ADP‐PRI; 112 low‐risk and 19 high‐risk patients proceeded to surgery. High‐risk patients had significantly greater intraoperative packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion in comparison with their matched controls, and a strong positive correlation between percentage ADP‐PRI and units of intraoperative PRBCs transfused (r = 0·749, 95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 0·410 to 0·940; P
