BACKGROUND: Andexanet alfa is a Gla-domainless mutant (S195A) factor Xa (GDXa) approved for acute reversal of oral factor Xa inhibitors. Cardiac surgery patients exposed to andexanet before cardiopulmonary bypass often exhibit severe heparin resistance. There is a paucity of data on the effectiveness and optimal dosage of antithrombin use in this setting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of increased heparin with antithrombin levels on attenuating heparin resistance induced by GDXa. METHODS: Heparinised normal pooled plasma and cardiopulmonary bypass plasma were spiked with GDXa 4 µM. Tissue factor-activated thrombin generation was used to assess heparin reversal effects of GDXa and restoration of anticoagulation with additional heparin with and without antithrombin. Serum thrombin-antithrombin complex, antithrombin activity, and tissue factor pathway inhibitor were also measured in tissue factor-activated, recalcified cardiopulmonary bypass plasma spiked with GDXa. RESULTS: In normal pooled plasma, GDXa-induced heparin reversal was mitigated by maintaining a high heparin concentration (12 U ml-1) and supplementing antithrombin (1.5-4.5 µM) based on peak and velocity of thrombin generation. Heparin reversal by GDXa was also demonstrated in cardiopulmonary bypass plasma, but supplementing both heparin (8 U ml-1) and antithrombin (3 µM) attenuated GDXa-induced changes in peak and velocity of thrombin generation by 72.5% and 72.2%, respectively. High heparin and antithrombin levels attenuated thrombin-antithrombin complex formation in tissue factor-activated, GDXa-spiked cardiopulmonary bypass plasma by 85.7%, but tissue factor pathway inhibitor remained depleted compared with control cardiopulmonary bypass plasma. CONCLUSIONS: Simultaneous supplementation of heparin and antithrombin mitigate GDXa-induced heparin resistance by compensating for the loss of tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
