  We treated prospectively 14 patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome, with a mean age of 10 years, ranging from 3 to 18 years. Treatment continued for 12 months, and demonstrated a lasting symptomatic improvement, but no improvement in terms of mean saturation of oxygen over 24 hours. Exercise capacity, as judged by peak uptake of oxygen, worsened in the six patients able to perform a treadmill test. The symptomatic benefit from dual blockage of endothelin receptors in these patients may be due to mechanisms other than selective pulmonary vasodilatation alone.

  Clinical management of warfarin therapy is complex, and dosing algorithms do not include genetic factors or interactions with other drugs for warfarin dose determinations. We evaluated the interaction of warfarin and CYP2C9 polymorphisms and concomitant corticosteroids in 29 children with cancer. Children with heterozygous polymorphisms of CYP2C9 achieved target INR sooner and more frequently had INR above the target level, compared to children without mutations. Children on concomitant steroids had significantly lower warfarin requirements. Thus, awareness of CYP2C9 genotype and steroid-induced responsiveness to warfarin may be important when administrating oral anticoagulation in children.

  Background: Central venous lines (CVLs) are essential in the care of children with malignancies, but are associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and infections. Effective and safe prophylactic approaches are deficient. Aim: To perform a study of adjusted low-dose warfarin for the prevention of CVL-related VTE in children with malignancies. Methods: Children with newly diagnosed cancer, a CVL in a jugular vein and an expected treatment period of over 6 mo were eligible for the study. Participants were randomized to low-dose warfarin, with intended international normalized ratio (INR) 1.3–1.9, or to a control group. Primary outcome was VTE in a jugular vein diagnosed by ultrasonography at 1, 3 and 6 mo after inclusion. Secondary outcome was CVL-related infections, mainly measured as days on antibiotics or positive blood cultures. Results: The study enrolled 73 children, and 62 completed it fully. Asymptomatic CVL-related VTE was frequent (42%), but often transient. Regardless of severity, timing and duration, CVL-related VTE was equally frequent among children on warfarin as compared to controls (p=0.44). Low-dose warfarin (p=0.59) or jugular CVL-related VTE (p=0.91) did not have any impact on days on antibiotics, but we observed a tendency towards an association between CVL-related VTE and positive blood cultures (p=0.15). Conclusion: Our randomized study of low-dose oral anticoagulation for the prevention of CVL-related asymptomatic VTE in children with cancer did not show any benefit of warfarin adjusted to maintain INR between 1.3 and 1.9.

Pediatric Hematology & Oncology.  ISSN 0888-0018.  23(3), s 207- 216 . doi: 10.1080/08880010500506701 Show summary

  Asparaginase is essential in the treatment of lymphoproliferative malignancies, but it is associated with several side effects. The objective of this study was to compare asparaginase-induced alterations of the coagulation inhibitors and the impact on central line-associated thrombosis in children treated according to 2 different asparaginase regimens. The study enrolled 30 children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and they were divided into 2 groups with respect to asparaginase preparation and protocol (NOPHO ALL-1992 versus NOPHO ALL-2000). The coagulation inhibitors antithrombin, protein C, and proteins S were measured prior to and during asparaginase therapy, and incidence of central line-associated thromboses was compared to evaluate the protocols' thrombogenicity. Thirteen children received Erwinia asparaginase and 17 children received E. coli asparaginase. Independent of protocol, the coagulation inhibitors were significantly reduced during asparaginase therapy (p < .001), and central line-associated thromboses were frequent. Four children developed thrombosis in the course of asparaginase therapy, and there was a correlation between asparaginase-induced fall of antithrombin and occurrence of new thromboses (p = .01).

  Background: The frequency of asymptomatic central line-associated thromboses is high and well recognized among children with cancer, while the long-term consequences are mainly unknown. Aim: In a cross-sectional study, we evaluated clinical and radiological venous outcome in children with previous long-standing intravascular catheters. Methods: The study enrolled 71 children previously treated for malignant or haematological diseases, 4–180 (median 37) mo after removal of their central lines. Inclusion criteria were a prior central line in a jugular vein for a minimum of 6 mo and no previous history of thrombosis. The children had clinical examination for post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and Doppler ultrasonography of the central neck veins. Twelve children had additional venous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). But no kind of venography was performed in the remaining. Results: We observed mild PTS with increased superficial collaterals in four children (6%), but no cases of more severe PTS. None complained of symptoms related to venous late effects. By ultrasonography, post-thrombotic venous alterations were detected in 17 children (24%), and five of these had complete occlusion of the veins. The sensitivity for pathologically increased collaterals to identify occlusive thrombosis was 0.6, while the specificity was 0.98. Occlusive venous thromboembolism was associated with the total number of central venous lines (CVLs; p=0.002), previous severe CVL-associated infections (p=0.001) and duration of central line in place (p=0.042). Conclusion: In spite of no prior history of thrombosis, children with previous long-term jugular lines frequently had local thrombotic sequelae, while clinical symptoms of PTS were rare

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation.  ISSN 0036-5513.  66(1), s 67- 78 Show summary

  Objective. Cancer can induce venous thromboembolic complications for various reasons. As part of a greater study, acquired and congenital prothrombotic risk factors were investigated in children with leukaemia or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and compared with similar investigations in children with congenital heart defects. Material and methods. Blood samples were taken from 60 children with newly diagnosed leukaemia or lymphoma and 133 children with congenital heart defects in the course of a scheduled cardiac catheterization. When children with cancer were in remission, analyses of acquired prothrombotic risk factors were repeated. Children with cancer were observed for symptoms of thromboembolism throughout their treatment period. Results. Total homocysteine levels were significantly raised in children with cancer (median value 10.0 micromol/L) as compared with the levels in children with congenital heart diseases (5.0 micromol/L) (p<0.001), while children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia had the highest values. The median level of lipoprotein(a) was slightly increased in children with newly diagnosed leukaemia or lymphoma (105 mg/L versus 100 mg/L, p<0.001), and levels of coagulation inhibitors were higher (p<0.001). Total homocysteine levels normalized when children attained remission of cancer disease. Two children had symptoms of acute thrombosis. Conclusions. Raised concentrations of total homocysteine were frequent in children with newly diagnosed cancer, but this normalized when the children were in remission. The clinical significance of our observations and the impact on venous thromboembolism have yet to be defined.

  We describe an infant with an atrioventricular septal defect and separate valvar orifices for the right and left ventricles, the so-called primum defect, who presented with serious pulmonary hypertension. Treatment with sildenafil was changed to intravenous epoprostenol due to lack of any measurable effects of the initial therapy as shown by echocardiography. The girl died three days after the change in treatment. We suggest that a mismatch between ventilation and perfusion contributed significantly to her death

  Thrombophilia screening is a time-consuming and expensive procedure. Information about thromboembolism among relatives may be a simple method to identify those at risk of having thrombophilia. In a cross-sectional clinical study the authors have investigated the role of such family histories to detect children with thrombophilia. In 202 children a family history of venous or arterial thromboembolism was recorded. The participants were either children with congenital heart defects at the time of a scheduled cardiac catheterization (n=134) or children with newly diagnosed cancer (n=68). Questions were answered, on the spot, by the parents, at the same time as blood samples for thrombophilia screening were taken. Questions about family history of thromboembolism were completed in 184 children, of whom 114 children (62%) were positive, and 35 of these had relatives with venous thromboembolic events. Only one child had an affected first-degree relative. Thrombophilic alterations were observed in 60 children (30%), and 25 of these were defined as inherited. A positive family history of venous origin increased the relative risk of a child having inherited thrombophilia to 2.35 (95% confidence interval 1.1--5.2). Information about familial arterial thromboembolism was not useful in spotting children with prothrombotic risk factors. These results indicate that questioning about family history of venous thromboembolism may identify children with genetic thrombophilia, but the association is not strong. The authors encourage similar larger-scale studies to enlighten the issue fully
