Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study is designed to determine the feasibility of conducting a randomized clinical trial comparing fondaparinux sodium (Arixtra) once daily with enoxaparin (Lovenox®) twice daily with respect to preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after bariatric surgery in obese patients.


Description:

In order to determine the feasibility of such a trial we need to determine the necessary sample size. In order to determine the necessary sample size, we need to obtain estimates of the incidence of DVT and the prevalence of PE using MRV in each treatment group. Descriptive statistics and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated to determine the incidence of DVT and the prevalence of PE using MRV in obese patients who have received treatment to prevent DVT and PE associated with bariatric surgery.

Anti-factor Xa levels will be used to help determine if treatments are reaching appropriate levels.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
Enoxaparin
Patients will receive enoxaparin 40mg subcutaneously twice daily during perioperative period of bariatric surgery. Patients will be encouraged to ambulate and compression stockings while in bed.
Fondaparinux
Fondaparinux 5mg subcutaneously 6 hours following surgery, fondaparinux 5mg subcutaneously once daily during hospitalization. Patients will be encouraged to ambulate and compression stockings while in bed.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary To estimate the prevalence of asymptomatic deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. 2 years
Secondary To assess the relationship of Anti-factor Xa levels and the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli in bariatric patients receiving standard dose of anticoagulation (enoxaparin/Lovenox or fondaparinux/Arixtra). 2 years
