ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may increase the risk of thromboembolic events. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of RFA on mean platelet volume (MPV), an indicator of platelet activity. METHODS A total of 95 patients undergoing RFA were included in the study. MPV was measured before and one month after the procedure. The control group was formed by 83 individuals of the same sex and age as those in the study group. RESULTS Beta-blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and acetylsalicylic acid use was higher in the ablation group compared with the control group. Other baseline clinical characteristics and baseline hemoglobin, white blood cell count, platelet count, and MPV values were similar between the ablation and control groups. In the ablation group, baseline and post-procedural hemoglobin, white blood cell counts were similar. However, postprocedural MPV values were higher, and platelet counts were lower compared with the preprocedural values. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that MPV values are higher after RFA compared with baseline values.
RESUMO
RESUMO OBJETIVOS A ablação por radiofrequência (ARF) pode aumentar o risco de eventos tromboembólicos. O objetivo foi avaliar o efeito da ARF no volume plaquetário médio (VPM), um indicador de atividade plaquetária. MÉTODO No total de 95 pacientes submetidos à ARF, o VPM foi medido antes e um mês após o procedimento. Oitenta e três pessoas do mesmo sexo e faixa etária constituíram o grupo controle. RESULTADOS Betabloqueadores, bloqueadores dos canais de cálcio não diidropiridínicos e uso de ácido acetilsalicílico foram maiores no grupo ablação quando comparados ao grupo controle. Outras características clínicas basais e hemoglobina basal, contagem de leucócitos, contagem de plaquetas e valores de VPM foram semelhantes entre os grupos de ablação e controle. No grupo de ablação, linha de base e hemoglobina pós-procedimento, as contagens de glóbulos brancos foram semelhantes. No entanto, os valores de VPM pós-procedimento foram maiores e as contagens de plaquetas foram menores em comparação com os valores pré-procedimento. CONCLUSÕES Nossos resultados indicam que os valores de VPM são maiores após a ARF em comparação com os valores basais.
