Impact of the ageing population Within the next 20 years, the acceleration in ageing of the population will have a major impact on perioperative patient management. It is estimated that elderly people require surgery four times more often than the rest of the population. Although exact data regarding the number of patients undergoing surgery in Europe are lacking, it is estimated that this number will increase by 25% by 2020, and for the same time period the elderly population will increase by .50%. The total number of surgical procedures will increase even faster because of the rising frequency of interventions with age.

Patients caratheristics

Circ Cardiovasc Intervent. 2009;2:213-221. 11150 patients (age, 62+-11 years;30% women) who underwent PCI from 1996 to 2001 (New Zealand), 5-year follow-up: 26% of the population underwent at least 1 noncardiac surgical procedure (23% orthopedic, 20% abdominal, 12% urologic, 10% vascular, 35% others) Circ Cardiovasc Intervent. 2009;2:213-221.

The main clinical predictors of noncardiac surgery were advanced age, previous noncardiac surgery, osteoarthritis, and peripheral vascular disease. Noncardiac surgery is required frequently after PCI, whereas bleeding is less common. Before implanting a drug- eluting or bare-metal stent, individual patient risk stratification by the interventional cardiologist should include assessment of whether there is an increased likelihood of needing noncardiac surgery or developing bleeding.

Clinical presentation at the time of PCI

Perioperative death and ischemic cardiac events occurred more frequently when surgery was in patients revascularized after an acute coronary syndrome (65% versus 32% - elective indication - ; P=0.037). (acute coronary syndrome [triangles] vs stable coronary artery disease [diamonds]) Patients undergoing noncardiac surgery after recent coronary stent implantation are at increased risk of perioperative myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and death, particularly after an acute coronary syndrome. For at least 2 years after percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac outcomes after noncardiac surgery are similar for both drug-eluting and bare-metal stents.

TIMING

Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 2010;3:236-242.) Scottish Coronary Revascularisation Register From April 2003 and March 2007,1953 post-PCI patients underwent noncardiac surgery. Of these, 570 (29%) were treated with at least 1 drug-eluting stent and 1383 (71%) with bare-metal stents only. Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 2010;3:236-242.)

Clopidogrel was discontinued 5 days before surgery, and hospital admission was planned for the day after the last clopidogrel intake (4 days before surgery), when i.v. tirofiban infusion was started according to the schedule approved for patients with ACS: that is, 0.4 mg kg21 min21 over 30 min, followed by 0.1 mg kg21 min21.15 The tirofiban dose was reduced by 50% if creatinine clearance was ,30 ml min21. The infusion was stopped 4 h before surgery (8 h in the case of creatinine clearance ,30 ml min21), resumed at the same schedule (including the 30 min bolus) 2 h after the end of surgery, and continued for up to 6 h after the resumption of clopidogrel, unless oral administration could be resumed on the same day as surgery. After surgery, clopidogrel was reintroduced using a loading dose of 300 mg (four tablets) as soon as the patient could resume oral administration, and then continued at a once daily dose of 75 mg. Aspirin (75–100 mg once a day) was ideally to be continued throughout the perioperative period Results: There were no cases of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, or surgical re-exploration due to bleeding during the index admission, with a risk estimate of 0–11.6% (one-tail 97.5% CI). There was one case of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) major and one of TIMI minor bleeding in the postoperative phase; another four patients were transfused without meeting the TIMI criteria for major or minor bleeding.

CONCLUSIONI I con l’ aumentare dell’eta’ un crescente numero di pazienti va incontro ad interventi di chirurgia non cardiaca al momento dell’impianto di uno Stent (che richiede una DAPT da un minimo di 1 mese ad un massimo di 12-15 mesi ) devono essere considerati con attenzione il rischio emorragico ed le patologie associate la trombosi di Stent è un evento drammatico con elevata mortalità ed è principalmente determinato dalla interruzione prematura della DAPT Nei pazienti portatori di Stent coronarici l’intervento chirurgico dovrebbe essere differito a 3 mesi in caso di BMS e 12 mesi in caso di DES

In caso di intervento non differibile ad elevato rischio emorragico in pazienti con elevato rischio trombotico la bridge strategy con agenti antipiastrinici ev a breve durata d’azione si e’ dimostrata efficace nella prevenzione della ST senza aumentare significativamentel e emorragie. l’impiego di tale strategia e’ tuttavia ancora controverso e non indicato dalle linee guida con livello elevato di evidenza Nei pazienti con eccessivo sanguinamento peri-operatorio sono indicati trasfusioni di piastrine e agenti pro emostatici Nuovi farmaci quali il Ticagrelor ( breve emivita ) potrebbero in futuro costituire un alternativa all’impiego degli inibitori del II b- III a ( piccole molecole ).

Conclusions on DAPT and surgical risk For surgical and endoscopic procedures at HR of bleeding, DAPT represents a serious issue. Withdrawal of DAPT + post-surgical haemostatic activation + malignancy increase severalfold the risk of ST and death, THE POST-OPERATIVE FASE BEING THE MORE DANGEROUS. Based on the results of our ongoing experience, we propose that a “bridge strategy” using short-acting i.v. antiplatelet agents confers protection against perioperative CV events that goes beyond the prevention of ST, without increasing the risk of surgical bleeding. Among the new P2Y12 antagonist, the reversible blocker ticagrelor might reduce by 1-2 days the duration of pre- operative withdrawal, but it’s use in the early post-op days should be studied, and sofar it hasn’t been shown to reduce bleeding compared to clopidogrel. The concept of “platelet anaesthesia” should be further explored 57

Heart, Lung and Circulation 2010;19:2–10 59

Pazienti con STENT coronarici che devono essere sottoposti a chirurgia non cardiaca Tutti gli stent coronarici richiedono un periodo di DAPT post- impianto: 4 settimane i BMS, 6-12 mesi i DES. Ciò al fine di prevenire la trombosi di stent (morte-infarto nel 50-70% dei casi) La terapia antiaggregante aumenta il rischio emorragico in chirurgia generale, laparoscopica, e durante procedure endoscopiche La sospensione della terapia antiaggregante prima che sia finito il periodo di vulnerabilità espone al rischio di trombosi di stent, aumentato dall’ effetto pro-trombotico della chirurgia surgery, either elective or urgent, poses a largely unsolved problem for patients on dual antiplatelet therapy and their treating physicians.
