Abstract:
Twenty six adult patients who underwent prosthetic heart valve replacement and treated anti-thrombogenic therapy, were divided into 2 groups. One was administered Warfarin alone, another was administered Warfarin plus Aspirin (162mg/day) as antiplatelet therapy. Trapidil (300mg/day) was administered to all of the patients. Platelet aggregation, plasma level of TXB2 (stable metabolite of thromboxane A2), and 6-keto-PGF1 (stable metabolite of PGI2) were measured before and 1, 3, 6 months after Trapidil therapy. Platelet aggregability suppressed in both 2 groups. Plasma TXB2 level, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1 ratio showed a tendensy to decrease (p<0.05) 6 months after administration. In the Aspirin plus Trapidil group, platelet aggregability, serum TXB2 level, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1 ratio are significantly lower than that in the Trapidil only. These results suggest that Trapidil is clinically useful for antiplatelet agent, but the combined Aspirin plus Trapidil therapy is more efficacious than the Aspirin or Trapidil single therapy.
