Foram incluídos, no estudo, 259 pacientes portadores de próteses mitrais (mitrais), aórticas (aórticos) e mitral e aórticas (mitro-aórticos). Foram analisadas 9714 consultas com valores do tempo de protrombina (em RNI) e dados dos registros hospitalares sobre complicações tromboembólicas e hemorrágicas com graus de gravidade. Os pacientes foram divididos em quatro grupos de acordo com o porcentual de consultas em que a RNI se encontrava dentro do intervalo desejado. Foram estudados dois anticoagulantes (Fenprocumona e Warfarina) e suas dosagens. Foi, também, avaliada a ocorrência de complicações tromboembólicas e hemorrágicas. Os resultados estão apresentados em: número de pacientes com complicações, estudo atuarial e freqüência linearizada de ocorrência de eventos. Os dados obtidos permitiram concluir que: a anticoagulação oral foi mais satisfatória nos aórticos do que nos mitrais e mitro-aórticos; os mitrais apresentaram ocorrência de eventos tromboembólicos semelhante a dos aórticos, porém com maior freqüência de hemorragias; os grupos que tiveram anticoagulação mais estável apresentaram menos complicações; poucas diferenças quanto à ocorrência de... / The study was held using outpatient data collected during 10 years for anticoagulation control of patients with mechanical prosthetic heart valves from the Cardiovascular Surgery Service at the Medical University Hospital in Botucatu city. The objectives were as follows: evaluation of prophylactic anticoagulation therapy, number of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications and their severity stratification, assessment of different oral anticoagulants, their effects and dosing, influence of prosthesis position, presence of atrial fibrillation and size of the left atrium, assessment of the anticoagulation strategy. Two hundred and fifty nine patients with mitral (M), aortic (A), mitral and aortic (M-A) prostheses were included in the study. Prothrombin time expressed in terms of international normalised ratio (INR) from 9714 consultations, medical data on thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications as well as their severity were evaluated. Patients were allocated to four groups according to percentage of consultations which INR was within the target range. Two anticoagulants (Fenprocoumon and Warfarin), their dosing system, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications were also evaluated. Results were expressed as: number of patients with complications, actuarial study and linearized rate of events. Conclusions: oral anticoagulation was better in A than in M or M-A patients; M patients presented as many thromboembolic events as A patients although with higher hemorrhagic rate; groups presenting more steady anticoagulation showed fewer complications; there were few differences concerning complications among users of Fenprocoumon and Warfarin; most patients needed lower anticoagulant doses; patients with atrial fibrillation and/or enlarged left atrium presented as many thromboembolic complications as the other studied patients, although with higher...
