title: [Plasma exchange with very low molecular weight heparin CY 222. Biological profile and therapeutic value].
abstract: In a clinical, between-patient study we investigated the effects of a VLMW Heparin fragment (CY 222) versus standard heparin (SH) in plasma exchanges (n = 10) on coagulation factors (CF). Fibrinogen (FGN), II, V, VIIF + X, IX, XI, XII, VIIIc, VIIIRag, VIIIvwf and ATIII, ProtC, ProtS, Plasminogen (PGN), Activated Thromboplastin time (APTT), Prothrombin time (PT), Thrombin time (TT), anti factor Xa (Axa), DDimer, Platelet count. Heparin was administered as a bolus and by infusion during the session, CY 222 as a bolus dose only; 1 to 1.5 plasma volume was exchanged with substitution by 5% albumin. Results (mean, s.d.) at the end of the session (End) and 4 hours later (T4) were analyzed and showed no differences between groups (with CY 222 and with SH) for technical and clinical findings. Biologically, CF were similar in both groups except for Factor XII levels at the end of the session, and Factors II, V, XII at T4. Prolonged APTT in all samples appear related to low FGN. Significant differences in Axa activities were found for each treatment when compared with its own standard, suggesting different ranges of activities of both drugs. Changes in D-dimer levels differed during the session and four hours after the session with the drug tested, and could be related to their mode of administration. Clinical efficiency and tolerance were excellent both with CY 222 and SH.
