Profilaxis TVP: Cir. ortopédica de MMII ( Fx Cadera, cir. mayor de rodilla y prótesis de cadera) y pacientes con alto riesgo de complicaciones tromboembólicas tras cirugía abdominal. SCASEST-Fondaparinux se recomienda en base a su mejor relación eficacia/seguridadi (I-A)- SCACEST Tto TVP/TEP: Percutaneous coronary intervention — The possible role of fondaparinux as an anticoagulant in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, almost all with stents) was evaluated in the ASPIRE pilot trial in which 350 patients undergoing urgent or elective PCI were randomly assigned to receive treatment with unfractionated heparin or fondaparinux (2.5 or 5.0 mg intravenously) . There was no difference among the groups in terms of efficacy or clinical safety, although there was an almost significant increase in bleeding with 5.0 compared to 2.5 mg of fondaparinux (9.6 versus 3.4 percent, p = 0.06)

Pacientes de alto riesgo de sangrado — Se recomienda no utilizar fondaparinux.

Embarazo— Initial in vivo studies in animals and in vitro studies in the perfused human placenta have failed to demonstrate placental transfer of this agent at currently recommended doses . However, small amounts of fondaparinux have been detected in the umbilical cord following multiple doses during pregnancy . While there is only anecdotal experience attesting to the safety of fondaparinux during pregnancy , there has been considerable experience with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Both fondaparinux and LMWH carry class B labeling with respect to pregnancy.
