Filter by:The objective of this study is to observe the safety, tolerability, and compliance in the use of Fragmin® for prolonged thromboprophylaxis in post-surgery high-risk orthopedic patients.
This study is to identify the following problems and questions with respect to the safety and effectiveness of Xarelto in comparison with other pharmacologic agents in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a large sample of patients who undergo elective total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR) in the real-life conditions in its registered indication(s) as required by Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). 1. Known and unknown adverse reactions, especially serious adverse reactions 2. Incidence of adverse reactions under the routine drug use 3. Factors that may affect the safety of the drug 4. Factors that may affect the effectiveness of the drug 5. Other safety information related to overuse, drug interaction and laboratory abnormalities 6. Other adverse reactions
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the oral dose of YM150 for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with acute medical illness.
Brain injured patients are at high risk for forming blood clots in the legs and lungs. For non-brain injured trauma patients, we decrease the chances of these blood clots forming by placing the patients on a low dose of the blood thinner enoxaparin. Starting patients with a brain injury on the blood thinner is problematic, however, as this can theoretically cause the brain injury to worsen. Trauma surgeons wait a variable period of time before starting this blood thinner because waiting too long can result in the formation of these blood clots in the legs and lungs. Previous research has shown that some brain injuries which are of lower severity can have enoxaparin started at 24 hours after injury if the brain injury is stable on a repeated computed tomography (CT) scan of the head. This is a pilot study designed to look at the rates of worsening of brain injury if the low dose blood thinner is started at 24 versus 96 hours post-injury.
This study aims to explore the risk of periprocedural thromboembolic events in continuous versus interrupted Coumadin therapy in a large, randomized high-risk patient population undergoing radio-frequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Blood clots contribute to the death of at least 100,000 Americans each year. Because many of these deaths occur suddenly where treatment is impossible, the best treatment is prevention. With this grant, researchers in Missouri, New York, Utah, Illinois, and Texas are developing strategies to improve the safety and effectiveness of clot prevention by customizing a popular blood thinner (warfarin) to each person's genetic and clinical profile. They hypothesize that the use of genetics to guide warfarin therapy will reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) postoperatively. They further hypothesize that using a target international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.8 is non-inferior to using a target INR of 2.5 in VTE prevention.
The objective of this retrospective study is to gather information about how fondaparinux is used pre-, peri- and/or postpartum for both the prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in order to fill an information gap concerning the off-label use of fondaparinux during pregnancy.
Evaluation of heparin/edoxaban tosylate (DU176b) versus heparin/warfarin in preventing recurrence of blood clots in patients with acute symptomatic deep-vein blood clots in the legs and/or blood clots in the lungs.
The study will examine the prevalence of venous thromboembolism in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia treated in accordance with NOPHO ALL-2008. The investigators will prospectively study clinical symptomatic thromboses, asymptomatic central line-associated thromboses, and infections.
In this study the investigators will determine the safety and effectiveness of Tinzaparin in preventing blood clots for up to 12 months of treatment.
