En la actualidad, muchos pacientes con fibrilación auricular son anticoagulados por largos períodos. Durante este tiempo pueden ser sometidos a procedimientos invasivos. A partir de una viñeta clínica, un médico se plantea el impacto de utilizar o no heparina de bajo peso molecular como puente farmacológico al momento de suspender la anticoagulación oral. Luego de realizar una búsqueda ad hoc, un ensayo clínico aleatorizado de no inferioridad demuestra que en pacientes con fibrilación auricular, con puntajes de riesgo tromboembólico (CHADS2) intermedios a bajos que requieren una interrupción temporal del tratamiento con warfarina para un procedimiento invasivo electivo, la estrategia de no reemplazar la anticoagulación oral con heparina de bajo peso molecular no resultó inferior (o menos efectiva) para la prevención de tromboembolismo arterial, y disminuyó además el riesgo de sangrado mayor en comparación al uso de un puente con esta medicación.

Many patients with atrial fibrillation are anticoagulated for long periods. During this time they may be subjected to invasive procedures. From a clinical vignette, a physician discusses the impact of using (or not) low molecular weight heparin as a pharmacological bridge at the time of suspending oral anticoagulation. After conducting a bibliographic search, a no inferiority randomized clinical trial showed that in patients with atrial fibrillation with intermediate to low thromboembolic risk (CHADS2) requiring a temporary interruption of warfarin therapy for an elective invasive procedure, the strategy of with holding low molecular weight heparin bridging was not inferior (or less effective) for the prevention of arterial thromboembolism than its use, also decreasing the risk of major bleeding.

An important number of patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) experience relapse or resistance to chemotherapy. One of the mechanisms involved in this resistance is the presence of glycoprotein P170 (gp-P 170), which results of the MDR-1 gene in leukemic cells. The objective of this article is to assess the prognostic impact of the expression of MDR-1 in a group of patients treated for AML. The expression of MDR-1 was retrospectively assessed in a cohort of 55 patients with AML, older than 16 years old, who received chemotherapy from 1990 to 2000. The presence of MDR-1/gp-P170 was evaluated on bone marrow biopsy by immunohisto-chemistry. A ROC curve established that an expression of > 50% of MDR-1 on blastic cells was significant for the achievement of complete remission. The expression of MDR-1+ correlated with the presence of leucocytosis (p:0.002), expression of CD34+ cells (p:0.006), less achievement of complete remission (p:0.001), more rate of relapse (p:0.02) and of non-favorable cytogenetics (p:0.02). The event-free survival was of 21.2% SE:9.3 with a follow up of 22 months for the group of MDR-1+ versus 56.4% SE 12.5 with a follow-up of 78 months for the MDR-1-group (p:0.007). It can be concluded that the expression of MDR-1 is a prognostic factor of resistance to chemotherapy. These patients present a lower rate of complete remission, a higher rate of relapse with persistence of post treatment residual disease, which produces a shorter global survival.
