Journal ArticleDOI
Low-dose oral anticoagulation in patients with mechanical heart valve prostheses: final report from the early self-management anticoagulation trial II.
Heinrich Koertke,Armin Zittermann,Gero Tenderich,Otto Wagner,Mahmoud El-Arousy,Arno Krian,Juergen Ennker,Uwe Taborski,W. P. Klövekorn,Rainer Moosdorf,Werner Saggau,Reiner Koerfer +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that low-dose INR self-management does not increase the risk of thrombo-embolic events compared with conventional dose INRself-management, and even in patients with low INR target range, therisk of bleeding events is still higher than the riskof thrombosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
International normalized ratio self-management lowers the risk of thromboembolic events after prosthetic heart valve replacement.
Thomas Eitz,Soren Schenk,Dirk Fritzsche,Andreas Bairaktaris,Otto Wagner,Heinrich Koertke,Reiner Koerfer +6 more
TL;DR: Current indications of prosthetic rather than biologic valve implantations may be extended if the benefit of INR self-management is shown by future studies with longer follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telemedicine-guided, very low-dose international normalized ratio self-control in patients with mechanical heart valve implants.
Heinrich Koertke,Armin Zittermann,Otto Wagner,Songuel Secer,Alfonso Sciangula,Werner Saggau,Falk-Udo Sack,Jürgen Ennker,Jochen Cremer,Francesco Musumeci,Jan Gummert +10 more
TL;DR: Telemedicine-guided very low-dose INR self-control is comparable with low- dose INR in thrombotic risk, and is superior in bleeding risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-dose international normalized ratio self-management: a promising tool to achieve low complication rates after mechanical heart valve replacement.
Heinrich Koertke,Armin Zittermann,Kazutomo Minami,Gero Tenderich,Otto Wagner,Mahmoud El-Arousy,Arno Krian,Juergen Ennker,Uwe Taborski,W. P. Klövekorn,Rainer Moosdorf,Werner Saggau,Michiel Morshuis,Jan Koerfer,Dirk Seifert,Reiner Koerfer +15 more
TL;DR: Low-dose INR self-management is a promising tool to achieve low hemorrhagic complications without increasing the risk of thromboembolic complications and is applicable for all patients in whom permanent anticoagulation therapy is indicated.
