In recent years, with the development of medical technology and materials and instruments, flow diverter (FD) has gradually become the most important treatment method for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA). It is a revolutionary treatment method, which has changed the concept of endovascular treatment of IA, and turned the previous endovascular embolization to the reconstruction of the parent artery. At present, FD has been used in more than 250,000 cases worldwide, and the overall 1-year complete occlusion rate of aneurysms can reach 75%-85.5%. However, although the current imaging prognosis of FD is encouraging, the perioperative complications of FD are as high as 12.9%, including ischemic complications, SAH, and parenchymal hemorrhage in 7.3%, 2.0%, and 2.0%, respectively. The postoperative mortality was 1.5%, of which 1.3% were caused by delayed aneurysm rupture, distal parenchymal hemorrhage and PED-related nerve compression symptoms. In addition, an in-stent stenosis of more than 50% within one year has been reported in 10.2 to 15.0% of patients. However, in addition to conventional dual antibody therapy, there is no relevant guideline recommendation or clinical evidence on how to prevent complications after FD implantation in IA patients. Atorvastatin is widely used in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Its main effect is to improve the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events by reducing blood lipids. Although the mechanism of clinical benefit of lipid-lowering by atorvastatin is not completely clear, a large number of clinical evidence has shown that atorvastatin can also reverse atherosclerosis, stabilize plate, reduce inflammation, reverse vascular endothelial dysfunction and reduce microthrombosis. It can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease and internal carotid artery stenosis after stent implantation in different degrees. However, there is no high-quality clinical evidence for the use of atorvastatin in intracranial aneurysm stent implantation. Previous retrospective studies have shown that atorvastatin is the only protective factor for in-stent restenosis after flow diverter implantation in intracranial aneurysms. In a retrospective observational study involving 273 patients empirically treated with atorvastatin for unruptured IA in our center, the median follow-up period was 7.6 months. The incidence of cerebrovascular events was 3.27%, and the incidence of more than 50% in-stent stenosis was 8.4%, which was significantly lower than the incidence of related events reported at home and abroad. Therefore, this study planned to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of oral atorvastatin in the prevention of cerebrovascular adverse events after stent implantation in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms, and to provide objective evidence for the treatment decision of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms to prevent cerebrovascular adverse events after flow diverter implantation.
This is a physician-initiated, observational, monocentric, retrospective and prospective Study. The study is intended to assess the feasibility of mechanical thrombectomy of caval and iliofemoral veins according to normal clinical practice in adult patients with symptomatic acute or subacute ileofemoral or caval deep vein thrombosis objectively diagnosed with CT scan imaging.
Cancer patients are burdened by an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Existing Risk Prediction Models (RPMs), including the widely accepted Khorana Risk Score (KRS), have some limitations when used in certain tumor site populations, such as gynecological cancers. Notably, gynecological patients exhibit a variable risk of VTE based on their specific tumor sites, with ovarian cancer representing the highest risk. Moreover, currently available RPMs lack validation in a broad gynecological population and may fail to effectively stratify VTE risk. GynCAT is a prospective cohort study that will be conducted on female patients with gynecologic malignancies scheduled for systemic antineoplastic treatment. During the screening phase, symptomatic VTE will be excluded, and KRS will be assessed. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis will be considered and prescribed at clinical judgement, for patients with a KRS score of 3 or higher. Clinical, hematological, biochemical, coagulation, and genetic variables will be collected. Follow-up will last for the entire duration of the antineoplastic treatment line, and VTE events, bleeding events, and mortality will be recorded. The primary objective is the development and validation of an RPM for VTE in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing systemic antineoplastic treatment. Secondary objectives are evaluation of the predictive value of the identified model, comparing it with existing general oncology RPMs; assessment of its performance in predicting mortality; evaluation of VTE incidence in patients with KRS≥3 receiving thromboprophylaxis; identification of risk factors for bleeding in this patient population. The sample size calculation is based on an estimated VTE incidence of 5% over a mean follow-up of 12 months. Hence, a sample size of at least 1,200 patients in the derivation cohort is considered sufficient for the determination of a risk prediction model incorporating up to six predictor variables. A split-sample method will be used, with two-thirds of the study participants randomly assigned to the model derivation cohort (n=1,200) and one-third (n=600) to an independent validation cohort. The total number of patients recruited in the study will thus be of 1,800. A competing risk survival analysis with Fine & Gray model will be used to study the association between prognostic variables and VTE occurrence, considering death as a competitive risk. The RPM will be identified through a bootstrap approach to reduce the risk of overfitting. Discrimination power of the RPM will be assessed using time-dependent Receiving Operating Characteristic curve, and model calibration will be evaluated graphically and with the calculation of relative calibration slopes. In conclusion, this prospective cohort study aims to overcome the limitations of current RPMs in gynecologic cancer patients, improving the accuracy of VTE risk stratification in this population.
The goal of this study is to investigate the hemostatic balance in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) treated according to the ALLTogether1 protocol with focus on the early treatment period including concomitant use of steroids and asparaginase. The investigators aim to determine if complement proteins or microparticles can be used as clinically relevant predictive or diagnostic biomarkers for thrombosis and if global hemostatic assays can predict bleeding or thrombosis. Characterization of proteins connected to hemostasis before and during ALL treatment may provide pathophysiological insights regarding ALL- and treatment related coagulopathy. The ultimate goal of the study is to minimize the morbidity and mortality related to thrombosis and bleeding complications in children with ALL. Several pediatric oncology centers in Sweden will be participating in this study, which will enroll approximately 100 pediatric patients.
A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is minimal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a pop-up alert, which will be seen by clinicians when a discharging patient has been identified as being someone for whom the risk of blood clots is high, but for whom bleeding risk is estimated to be low. The pop-up alert will be enabled in a sequential fashion for each group of hospitals in 1 month blocks. We will look to see if the pop-up alert changes the number of patients who receive rivaroxaban. We will also measure the outcomes of blood clots and bleeding among all discharging patients.
Atrial Fibrillation represents an important risk of cardioembolic stroke. In more than 90% of cases, thrombus originate in the left atrial appendage. Therefore guidelines recommend the anticoagulation of patients with atrial fibrillation and a significant cardioembolic risk, predicted by the CHA2DS2VASc score. However, serious bleeding complications may definitively contraindicate the use of anticoagulants. For those patients, percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) has became a recommended alternative to prevent the thrombus formation and reduce the risk of cardioembolic events. In the CHU of Brest, more than 120 patients have been treated with LAAO for the last 8 years with two different occluder devices : WATCHMAN®, Boston Scientifc and AMPLATZER Amulet®, Abbott Laboratories. This retrospective longitudinal observational study named CLAPOT (CHU of Brest' Left Atrial Appendage Percutaneous Occlusion Treatment) aims to evaluate the long term results of this procedure for effectiveness and safety and to compare the results between the two devices (Watchman and Amplatzer).
To estimate the safety and efficacy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combine Tislelizumab and Lenvatinib (HAI-TIS-LEN) in the Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with type IV(Vp4) portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).
A single-center, open-label, exploratory randomized controlled study is proposed with the following objectives: whether prolonging the duration of anticoagulation to 12 months, compared with 6 months of routine anticoagulation, helps to reduce major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with left ventricular thrombosis and to reduce recurrence of thrombosis, as well as to assess their bleeding risk. Patients with a definite diagnosis of left ventricular thrombus and age ≥18 years were included in cardiac ultrasound (including general ultrasound and sonography) and other examinations during hospitalization and outpatient visits. Exclusion criteria were detailed in the study protocol. GROUPING: According to the duration of anticoagulation, they were divided into extended anticoagulation group (12 months) and conventional anticoagulation group (6 months). INTERVENTION: This study is planned to extend the administration of rivaroxaban (Pulsatilla) 20 mg to 12 months in the experimental group. The conventional anticoagulation group will take the drug for 6 months Study Endpoints: The primary efficacy endpoint is a major cardiovascular-vascular adverse event at 1 year; the primary safety endpoint is bleeding of grade 3 or higher as defined by the BARC classification at 1 year. Patient Follow-up Program: Subjects will require a total of 12 on-site follow-up visits (one per month) for safety evaluation, efficacy evaluation, medication adherence evaluation, and imaging follow-up at months 3, 6, and 12.
Lower limb trauma requiring immobilization is a very frequent condition that is associated with an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The TRiP(cast) score has been developed to provide individual VTE risk stratification and help in thromboprophylactic anticoagulation decision. The recent CASTING study had confirmed that patients with a TRiP(cast) score <7 have a very low risk of VTE and could be safely manage without prophylactic treatment. Conversely, patients with a score ≥ 7 have a high-risk of VTE and require a prophylactic anticoagulant treatment. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) have been shown to be effective in this indication. However, in the CASTING study, the 3-month symptomatic VTE rate was 2.6% in this subgroup despite LMWH prophylactic treatment. This result suggests that LMWH are not sufficiently effective in this particular subgroup of high-risk patients. Direct oral anticoagulants, and in particular rivaroxaban, may be an effective and safe alternative to LMWH. In the PRONOMOS study, comparing LMWH with rivaroxaban in patients who had undergone non-major lower limb surgery, the relative risk of symptomatic VTE was 0.25 (95% CI = 0.09 - 0.75) in favor of rivaroxaban 10mg. No significant increase in bleeding was found. In addition, as LMWH treatment requires subcutaneous daily injections, the use of rivaroxaban may positively impact patients' quality of life as well as being effective in medico-economic terms. The aims of this study are to demonstrate that rivaroxaban is at least as effective, easier to use and more efficient than LMWH in patients with trauma to the lower limb requiring immobilisation and deemed to be at risk of venous thromboembolism (TRiP(cast) score ≥ 7). High-risk patients are randomized to receive either rivaroxaban or LMWH. They are followed up at 45 days and 90 days to assess the occurrence of thrombotic events or bleeding, as well as their satisfaction with the treatment received.
