to compare two anticoagulant therapy (ACT) regimens in the treatment of venous thrombosis (VT) in patients after catheter interventions - electrophysiological studies (EFIs) and ablations: enoxaparin followed by warfarin, and rivaroxaban monotherapy.The study included patients from 18 years and older with heart rhythm disorders and planned catheter ablation. When parietal venous thrombosis (VT) were detected at the femoral vein puncture site, all patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. In group I enoxaparin 1 mg/kg was prescribed every 12 hours with switching to warfarin after 7 days with maintenance of the target INR values (2.0-3.0). In group II rivaroxaban therapy was started at a dose of 15 mg twise/day for 21 days with a further transition to a dose of 20 mg/day. The total period of observation and treatment of patients was at least 3 months.408 patients were observed, 42 (10.3%) patients with parietal VT were divided into two treatment groups. In group I (n=16) complete lysis of VT was noted by the 7th day of treatment in 7 (58.3%) patients, however this scheme was associated with a greater risk of complications (р=0.003) at the puncture site in the form of arteriovenous fistulae (n=1; 8.3%) and intermuscular hematomas (n=4; 25%). In group II (n=26), no complications were noted, the lysis time of VT was on average 21 days (n=18; 69.2%). Complete lysis of VT was noted in both groups at the time of the control observation point (3rd month).The efficiency of the two VT treatment regimens was comparable. Enoxaparin therapy is associated with a high risk of local complications, namely intermuscular hematomas (n=4; 25%) and arteriovenous fistulas (n=1; 8.3%). Rivaroxaban monotherapy is safer (p=0.003); in Group II none of the patients had any complications.Цель исследования: сравнить две схемы антикоагулянтной терапии (АКТ) в лечении венозных тромбозов (ВТ) у пациентов после внутрисердечных катетерных вмешательств - электрофизиологических исследований (ЭФИ) и абляций: эноксапарина с последующим назначением варфарина и монотерапии ривароксабаном. Материалы и методы. В исследование включали пациентов от 18 лет с нарушениями ритма сердца и планируемыми катетерными вмешательствами. При выявлении пристеночного ВТ в месте пункции бедренной вены пациентов рандомизировали на две группы лечения: в группе I проводилась АКТ эноксапарином 1 мг/кг каждые 12 ч с переходом на варфарин через 7 дней с поддержанием целевых значений международного нормализованного отношения (2,0-3,0), в группе II - АКТ ривароксабаном 15 мг 2 раза/сут в течение 21 дня с дальнейшим переходом на дозу 20 мг/сут. Срок наблюдения и лечения пациентов составил 3 мес. Результаты. Наблюдали 408 пациентов, из них 42 (10,3%) пациента с пристеночным ВТ распределили на две группы лечения. В группе I (n=16) у 7 (58,3 %) больных отмечен полный лизис ВТ к 7-му дню лечения, однако эта схема сопряжена с большим риском осложнений (р=0,003) со стороны места пункции в виде артериовенозных соустий (n=1; 6,25%), межмышечных гематом (n=4; 25%). В группе II (n=26) осложнений не отмечалось, время лизиса ВТ в среднем составило 21 день (n=18; 69,2%). В обеих группах на момент проведения контрольной точки наблюдения (3-й месяц) отмечен полный лизис ВТ. Заключение. Эффективность двух схем лечения ВТ оказалась сопоставимой. Терапия эноксапарином сопряжена с большим риском развития местных осложнений: межмышечных гематом (n=4; 25%), артериовенозных соустий (n=1; 8,3%). Монотерапия ривароксабаном была более безопасна (р=0,003), в группе II осложнений не отмечено.

To analyze efficiency of semi-quantitative fast D-dimer test in diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and thromboembolism of pulmonary artery (TPA).The study enrolled 42 patients (26 males and 16 females) aged 25 to 86 years. 30 and 12 of them were suspected to have DVT and TPA, respectively. DVT was verified at ultrasound dopplerography and radionuclide phlebography in 16 of 30 suspects. TPA was verified by x-ray, perfusion scintigraphy of the lungs and at autopsy (one case) in 7 of 12 suspects. D-dimer levels in the blood were measured by latex parts agglutination reaction. The parts were covered with monoclonal antibodies to D-dimer. The reagents were provided by the kit Roche/Diagnostica Stago.The D-dimer test was positive in 20 of 23 DVT patients and negative in 3 cases (13%). Of 19 patients with rejected diagnosis of DVT/TPA the test was negative in 17(89.4%) and positive in 2 patients (10.6%). Thus, sensitivity and specificity of the D-dimer test was 87% and 89.4%, respectively.High sensitivity of the test allows to use it in screening for DVT/TPA. Negative D-dimer test rejects DVT, while positive test needs verification by other methods.
