Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Prolongation of hospital stay 2. Infections: infection of the surgical wound, of the pacemaker bag, bacteraemia, endocarditis. 3. Thrombotic complications;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 24 hours and 7, 15 and 30 days and 6 months after pacemaker implantation | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluation of hemorrhage and / or hematoma in anticoagulated patients with acenocoumarol after pacemaker implantation and the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) to reduce these events.;Secondary Objective: Assess the occurrence of the following events: • Infectious complications • Duration of the procedure • Hospital stay • Need for blood products • Need for prohemostatic drugs • Thrombotic complications;Primary end point(s): 1. Bleeding: according to previous literature we will differentiate between minor or major bleeding A. Minor bleeding: • Pocket hematoma that consists of the appearance of an elevated, painful mass with ecchymosis around the generator. Therefore, we must reflect both the maximum and minimum diameters and the height in millimeters. • Decrease in hemoglobin <2 g / dL after the procedure and without requiring transfusion of blood products. • Need for suspension of anticoagulant drugs. B. Major hemorrhage: defined by the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (8) • Bleeding related to a pacemaker implant with a decrease in hemoglobin = 2 g / dL after the procedure. • Hemorrhage that requires transfusion of blood products. • Need to evacuate pocket hematoma or surgical revision. • Appearance of hemopericardium. • Appearance of hemothorax. • Bleeding with data of organ hypoperfusion (renal failure, lactic acidosis, neurological impairment, liver damage), not attributable to other causes.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 7, 15, 30 days and 6 months in the implant center. | — |
