Filter by:At most institutions, the average patient with clinical concern for PE(pulmonary embolism) will have a CT angiogram(CTA) with contrast of the lungs performed to evaluate for a clot. However, CTA has risks including contrast- induced allergic reactions and nephropathy, as well as radiation which has been linked to development of cancer later in life. There is literature that has looked at using lower extremity doppler ultrasound first to evaluate for a DVT (deep venous thrombosis) in patients where there is concern for a PE. There is also literature showing that emergency medicine physicians can perform adequate lower extremity compression ultrasounds (LCUS), at the bedside with results similar to that of the ultrasound tech. The goal of this project is to fuse both principles by having emergency medicine physicians perform LCUS at the bedside, to help reduce CTA utilization in the evaluation of PE.
The Gonda Vascular Center- Thrombophilia Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota utilizes a standardized, guideline-directed, yet patient-oriented approach for treating patients diagnosed with venous thromboembolism (VTE).This study is the ongoing registry of clinical practice with standardized approach to patient assessment and therapy. As most of registries it does not have any definite number of recruited subjects or the date of study completion but provides anticipated number of recruited subjects and the time of anticipated enrolment which was provided only because of formal requirement related to structure of ClinicalTrials.gov website. This number will be updated and upgraded as we continue this registry. The rates of VTE recurrence, major bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB) and survival in patients treated with anticoagulation for acute VTE are assessed during prospective observation. VTE cases include an acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower or upper extremities, splanchnic veins, gonadal, renal, cerebral veins thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE). Therapy includes the whole spectrum of FDA approved anticoagulants such as "classic" agents: warfarin and heparinoids and the newer direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as rivaroxaban, dabigatran, apixaban, and edoxaban.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common post-operative complication. The necessity for anticoagulant therapy after orthopedic surgeries is widely understood, but treatment administration patterns in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after orthopedic surgeries during the hospital stay have yet to be examined. The main objective of this study is to perform a comparative effectiveness review examining the benefits and harms associated with venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries. It is around efficacy and safety evaluation of using anticoagulant for thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries taking into the account the reliable selection of patients most benefit. The aims of this study is to analyze patient records in teaching hospitals database of our country (including: Hanoi Medical University, Bach Mai Hospital, Cho Ray Hospital, Viet Duc University Hospital) and compare the outcomes and costs between different types of anticoagulant medications that were prescribed for the prevention of VTE following orthopedic surgeries. This analysis will assess and quantify the outcomes, resource utilization, and cost of care for patients receiving rivaroxaban or enoxaparin. The outcomes of interest include the occurence of DVT and PE, rates of major bleeds, medical resource utilization, and total costs (medical plus pharmacy).
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.
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.
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.
