| Abstract: | Prophylactic treatment with emicizumab has become an important and effective bleeding prevention for people with hemophilia A (PwHA). Perioperative management of PwHA using emicizumab prophylaxis is still challenging due to a lack of experience. Medical records of perioperative management and outcomes were reviewed, and data were collected for adult PwHA receiving emicizumab and undergoing surgical procedures between August 2019 and July 2022 at the University Medical Center Ljubljana. Twelve surgical procedures were performed in eight PwHA (one with FVIII inhibitors) while on emicizumab prophylaxis. Three minor procedures included cataract surgery, cystoscopic lithotripsy, and percutaneous coronary intervention. Nine major surgeries included four osteosyntheses, necrectomy of chronic osteomyelitis with new ankle arthrodesis, two below-knee amputations, total knee replacement, and placement of ventriculostomy after a spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage. No major bleeds, thrombotic events or deaths, or new inhibitors appeared. Our real-world experience demonstrates that minor and major surgeries can be performed safely in PwHA on emicizumab prophylaxis. Additional data are needed to optimize dosing/duration of additional hemostatic agents in diverse invasive procedures and complex clinical situations. |
