Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are getting used off-label with prosthetic heart valves, even mechanical valves in some cases, a national registry showed.
At least some valve patients were discharged with a DOAC prescription at 78.6% 0f the 1,092 hospitals and by 59.6% of the 2,731 physicians participating in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database from July 2014 through June 2017.
For mechanical heart valve recipients, the rate was 1.1% with aortic valve replacement and 1.04% with mitral valve replacement, without significant change over time for either, Ankur Kalra, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic, and colleagues reported in I am really very surprised that DOACs are being used in mechanical heart valves, commented Deepak Bhatt, MD, MPH, of Brigham and Women s Hospital Heart & Vascular Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, who was not involved with the study.
