Filter by:A comparative, observational, cross-sectional and prolective diagnostic test study, including patients that have had a right heart catheterization and were referred for a CT pulmonary angiography as part of their imaging workup protocol for pulmonary hypertension. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) pulmonary angiography was performed on each patient to obtain perfusion maps and do a quantitative analysis. Segments with and without perfusion defects according to significant differences in the quantitative values, were defined as compatible or not with chronic thromboembolism. To assess the accuracy of the method and evaluate its performance, these results were compared with the sole results from the right heart catheterization, known to be the gold standard diagnostic tool.
In this study we are going to measure the blood flow in the lower limbs under cast immobilisation and also under mobilisation with an orthosis. The aim is to evaluate how the aforementioned modalities affect the blood flow and also to compare between the two.
Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a common and important vascular disease due to its morbidity and mortality. Its incidence remains high throughout the world and constitutes serious problems for national and international public health. Several inherited and/or acquired risk factors may be responsible for thrombus formation. Few epidemiological data regarding real world panorama of this disease in South America and Brazil is available in the literature. Objective: Evaluate demographic data, diagnostic methods and treatment of deep vein thrombosis in the real world in public university hospitals in Brazil. Methods: Five-year prospective records of deep venous thrombosis have been collected by the RHEUNI group of five public schools in the State of São Paulo. Demographic data of patients will be evaluated along with the main risk factors, clinical picture, diagnostic methods, use of different drugs to treat the disease and its complications. Digital platform has been used in data collection. Is a multicenter study and analysis will be performed using Microsoft Excel and Epi-Info. Key words: deep vein thrombosis, assessment, risk factors, demographic data.
To compare the impact on survival of neo-adjuvant TAI for patients with HCC and PVTT who underwent hepatectomy.
The objective of the study is to conduct a Bayesian randomized trial comparing non-elastic compression garments applied with high pressure (Circaid group) with no compression (control group) in reducing signs and symptoms in the acute stage of DVT and subsequent postthrombotic syndrome. With a hypothesis that the Circaid group will present a quicker and more marked reduction of pain and leg swelling in the acute stage of DVT, as well as a 20% decrease in the frequency of postthrombotic syndrome within six months from the time of diagnosis of the acute deep vein thrombosis episode.
This is a single-center, retrospective, open-label study. This study is planned to investigate the accuracy of mRS and NIHSS, comparing with the accuracy of CSF pressure and papilledema grade in assessing cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
Consenting patients with end-stage heart failure that are implanted with/candidates for implant of a short-term/durable mechanical circulatory support device (e.g.: percutaneous microaxial pumps (Impella), extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO), Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) will be enrolled in the study. Aim of the study is to evaluate the patients' haemostatic and coagulation profile, how it interacts with the support device as well as the effect of antithrombotic drugs. From these data, it will be possible to derive the mechanisms triggering post-implant thromboembolic/hemorrhagic complications and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of image-guided, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an effective strategy with which to reduce Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) disease severity and improve quality of life in patients with established disabling iliac-obstructive post thrombotic syndrome (DIO-PTS).
This trial aims at determining if dabigatran is effective in the treatment of malignancy associated VTE. Tolerance and safety of dabigatran will also be assessed. This is a single armed trial of dabigatran in patients with malignancy associated VTE. The target recruitment is 99 consecutive patients with active malignancy and newly diagnosed VTE (deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism) in Queen Mary Hospital. Tinzaparin 175 iu/kg daily will be started after the diagnosis of VTE is confirmed (duplex Doppler ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis, and computed tomography for pulmonary embolism), and a written consent is obtained. Patients will be switched to dabigatran 150mg twice daily from day 6 onwards. The first dose of dabigatran will be given within 2 hours before the time that the next dose of tinzaparin would have been due. Anticoagulation will be continued as long as malignancy is active. If patients achieve a complete remission of their underlying malignancies, dabigatran will be continued for 6 months further.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized (1:1), open-label study with two parallel groups. This study is planned to investigate the efficacy and safety of dabigatran etexilate comparing with warfarin for the treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis.
