Filter by:Primary objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of closure strategies post venous access procedures. Hypothesis: We anticipate that the use of a venous closure device will decrease the time to hemostasis (TTH), time to ambulation (TTA) and time to discharge (TTD) compared to conventional methods of closure following venous access procedure.
This study is a retrospective analysis of observational cohorts using data from prospectively collected administrative/claims data to investigate treatment patterns,healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU), direct and indirect costs (where feasible), and safety and effectiveness outcomes in patients with VTE and active cancer or patients with VTE and history of cancer who initiate anticoagulant treatment with a VKA, LMWH or NOACs.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a rapidly growing treatment option for patients with aortic valve stenosis. Stroke is a feared complication of TAVI, with an incidence of around 4-5% in the first 30 days. Up to 50% of patients undergoing TAVI have an indication for oral anticoagulants (OAC) mostly for atrial fibrillation. OAC use during TAVI could increase bleeding complications, but interruption during TAVI may increase the risk for thromboembolic events (i.e. stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction). Recent observational data suggest that periprocedural continuation of OAC is safe and might decrease the risk of stroke. Beside the potential reduction of thromboembolic events, continuation of OAC is associated with an evident clinical ancillary benefit for patients and staff. Since periprocedural OAC interruption not infrequently leads to misunderstanding and potentially dangerous situations, when patients are not properly informed before hospital admission or may experience difficulties with the interruption regimen. Hypothesis: Periprocedural continuation of oral anticoagulants is safe and might decrease thromboembolic complications without an increase in bleeding complications at 30 days
A Multicenter Study Conducted to Evaluate the Agreement between Fingerstick Whole Blood, Venous Whole Blood and Plasma Determined on the LumiraDx Point of Care D-Dimer and Point of Care CRP Tests to Results on the Reference Analyzer
This is a prospective cohort study of 30 patients who are 8-21 years of age with venous thromboembolism (VTE)- either lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).
Design: U.S.-based, single-center, randomized placebo-controlled trial. Brief Treatment Description: Low-intensity apixaban (2.5mg twice daily) for extended-duration secondary prevention of VTE after initial treatment for provoked VTE. Purpose: To establish the safety and efficacy of low-intensity apixaban versus placebo for extended prevention of recurrence after provoked VTE in patients with at least one persistent provoking factor. Population: Outpatients with provoked VTE with at least one persistent provoking factor. Enrollment: 600 subjects Randomization: 1:1 Clinical Site Locations: 1 center (Brigham and Women's Hospital) Study Duration: 36 months; enrollment period of up to 20 months with 12-month follow-up. Primary Safety and Efficacy Outcomes: Primary Safety Outcome: International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major bleeding at 12 months. Primary Efficacy Outcome: Symptomatic, recurrent VTE, defined as the composite of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism at 12 months. Secondary Efficacy Outcome: The composite of death due to cardiovascular cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke or systemic embolism, critical limb ischemia, or coronary or peripheral ischemia requiring revascularization (major adverse cardiovascular events, including major adverse limb events) at 12 months. Follow-Up: Follow-up will consist of Electronic Health Record (EHR) review at 12-months from study enrollment. Interim Analysis: An interim analysis for the primary safety and efficacy outcomes will be performed when 300 subjects have completed 12-month follow-up.
This study is planned to collect prospective data and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of rivaroxaban for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in Indian patients with NVAF when used in clinical practice under real-life conditions. The study will be conducted in routine clinical practice settings. Approximately 1000 patients from India will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be observed for maximum period of 12 months after the start of Xarelto treatment or until it is no longer possible (e.g. lost to follow-up, death, withdrawal) before the end of the observation period. The decision by the investigator to start with of Xarelto must be independent of the inclusion of a patient to the study.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FlowTriever System for use in the removal of emboli from the pulmonary arteries in the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The use of the device will be assessed in a real-world population, with eligibility criteria that closely approximate its use in clinical practice. Up to 300 additional patients with anticoagulation treatment as the initial planned primary treatment strategy for intermediate risk PE will also be evaluated (US only).
To address the knowledge gap that exists among providers resulting in underdiagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), the investigators have devised this 400-patient single-center Quality Improvement Initiative in the form of a randomized controlled trial of an EPIC Best Practice Advisory (BPA) on-screen alert versus no notification to increase echocardiographic screening for CTEPH and the diagnosis of CTEPH in patients with prior pulmonary embolism (PE) and symptoms/signs suggestive of pulmonary hypertension or recent pulmonary testing suggesting unexplained respiratory symptoms at 3 months. Aim #1: To determine the impact of a Best Practice Advisory (BPA), using the EPIC Electronic Health Record computerized decision support (CDS) software, on echocardiographic screening for CTEPH in patient with prior PE and symptoms/signs suggestive of pulmonary hypertension or recent pulmonary testing suggesting unexplained respiratory symptoms. Aim #2: To determine the impact of an EPIC BPA on the diagnosis of CTEPH in patient with prior PE and symptoms/signs suggestive of pulmonary hypertension or recent pulmonary testing suggesting unexplained respiratory symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of new D-Dimer assay combined with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) to safely exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) or Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) in a 3 month follow-up.
