Four-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate vs Plasma in Patients on Vitamin K Antagonists With Gastrointestinal Bleeding or Needing a Gastrointestinal Procedure: A Retrospective Analysis of 2 Randomized Controlled Trials
4F-PCC was associated with a nearly immediate decrease in INR and rapid VKDF restoration compared with plasma in patients experiencing acute major GI bleeding or in need of GI surgery/invasive procedure. Yet, hemostatic efficacy was similar between the 2 groups, and therefore, larger studies might be needed to better understand patient outcomes.
