Filter by:In patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, thromboembolism is a common occurrence, especially following tourniquet deflation. The resulting cardiopulmonary emboli can potentially lead to hypoxemia, hypotension, hemodynamic collapse and post operative cognitive dysfunction due to emboli. The standard surgical technique involves placing an intramedullary rod in the femur to determine the angle and degree of resection from the end of the femur. A new surgical technique utilizes computer navigation system to perform the desired cuts in the appropriate position. The investigators hypothesize that the avoidance of intramedullary instrumentation in computer assisted total knee replacement will result in fewer thromboembolic events compared with the standard technique using manual instrumentation in the femur. The present study will test this hypothesis by quantifying the extent of thromboembolism during both surgical techniques.
The venous thromboembolism is one of the first causes of maternal mortality. Until 2003, only a few recommendations were available on the optimal use of antithrombotic therapy as a preventive measure against thromboembolism in pregnant women. In this study, we propose : 1. To gather the experts who took part in the French consensus conference and the local experts to create a score in accordance with the national and international consensus and to give some precise therapeutic strategies. 2. To evaluate the discriminant, feasible and useful character of this new score by a prospective multicentric study including 2000 pregnant women with a risk of thromboembolism or placental vascular pathology who will benefit from therapeutic strategies defined by the new score.
This multicentre open-label randomized parallel-group trial aims to compare the association of intermittent pneumatic compression of the lower limbs + elastic stockings + anticoagulant prophylaxis to anticoagulant prophylaxis alone on the incidence of venous thromboembolism systematically evaluated at day 6, in patients hospitalized in intensive care units and without high bleeding risk.
This multicentre open-label randomized parallel-group trial aims to evaluate the association intermittent pneumatic compression + elastick stockings versus elasting stockings alone on symptomatic or asymptomatic venous thromboembolism incidence, evaluated systematically at day 6 (+/-2days), in patients hospitalized in intensive care units and with high bleeding risk.
In a French multicenter double blind randomized controlled trial, the main objective is to demonstrate that, after 6 months of oral anticoagulation for a first episode of idiopathic proximal deep vein thrombosis, 18 months of warfarin therapy is associated with a lower cumulative risk of recurrent VTE and major bleeding in comparison with that on 18 months of placebo. The secondary objectives are: (1) to determine the risk of recurrent VTE after 6 months of warfarin therapy and the presence or the absence of residual lung scan perfusion defect and the persistence or not of elevated D-dimer test; and (2), to determine the impact of extended duration of anticoagulation on the risk of VTE after stopping anticoagulant therapy on a follow-up of 2 years.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of enoxaparin on venous thromboembolism incidence and bleeding rate (major and minor bleeding) in patients undergoing curative abdominal cancer surgery. The secondary objective is evaluate the incidence of adverse events of enoxaparin in these patients.
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of once daily [q.d] subcutaneous [s.c.] injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with q.d. s.c. injections of Enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events [VTE] in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after stopping therapy is low and acceptable in patients with a first unprovoked proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) who have completed 3 months of therapy and who have a negative D-dimer test on therapy and 1 month after stopping therapy.
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with Enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events [VTE] in patients undergoing elective knee replacement surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 in patients undergoing elective knee replacement surgery, and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of once daily (QD) subcutaneous (SC) injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) versus placebo for 3 additional weeks following an initial 7 to 10-day venous thromboprophylaxis with open-label AVE5026 in patients having undergone hip fracture surgery. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of extended AVE5026 administration.
