Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device usage in preventing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.The main question it aims to answer is provide a reference basis for determining the efficacy of IPC application during gastrointestinal surgery for preventing lower extremity DVT in patients. Participants are patients who require gastrointestinal surgery, specifically for the resection of gastrointestinal tumors. They will be divided into a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group will use an Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) device during surgery, while the control group will receive standard treatment. The objective is to observe whether the use of IPC during surgery can prevent the formation of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or lower the Risk of DVT.
The purpose of this study is to identify and validate new imaging biomarkers allowing an individual phenotyping of patient with venous thrombo-embolism (VTE), mainly in terms of recurrence risk assessment and to distinguish provoked from unprovoked VTE. To do so, the investigators will create a retrospective imaging database including multiple imaging modalities, performed at diagnosis of the VTE.
Background: venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in critically ill patients, admitted to the Intensive Care Units (ICUs). At the present time, there is no validated score to estimate risks and benefits of antithrombotic pharmacological prophylaxis in this subset of patients. Results of a pilot study showed that ultrasound (US) screening for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with a reduced incidence of proximal DVT, up front to an overall increased discovery rate of DVTs. The reduced incidence of proximal DVT could be attributed to an early diagnosis of distal and muscular DVTs, which would eventually receive a more adequate management. Proximal DVTs are associated with a worse long-term prognosis than distal or muscular DVTs, so it can be hypothesized that the active US screening could lead to an improvement of in-hospital and long-term prognosis of patients admitted to the ICU. Aim of the study: to test whether an active US screening may reduce the incidence of proximal DVT and improve the in-hospital and long-term prognosis of patients admitted to the ICU. Expected relevance: systematic screening for DVT could improve the management of the pharmacological antithrombotic treatment, leading to a reduction of thromboembolic and bleeding complications. This will eventually lead to an improved in-hospital and long-term prognosis.
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.
Aim of the IDOLO study is to investigate clinical efficacy on ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis and venoplasty in patients with post-thrombotic syndrome secondary to chronical femoro-popliteal vein occlusion for previous deep vein Thrombosis (DVT). At San Raffaele Hospital (Vascular Surgery Department) will be enrolled 50 patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (who have failed conservative treatment) objectively diagnosed with imaging ≥ 6 months; prior persistent deep vein Thrombosis (DVT) at enrollment evaluation and moderate-severe post-thrombotic syndrome at time of procedure
This observational study will use a new way to test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg. A DVT is a blood clot in the leg and is a medical problem that can cause swelling, pain, and redness. If the blood clot is not treated, it can cause more serious, long-term effects, and occasionally lead to death. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. How safe is our new blood clot testing method? 2. How efficient is our new blood clot testing method? The study will be run in the emergency department and urgent care centre in Kingston, Ontario. Patients who are tested for a DVT in the leg can be included in the study. Researchers follow the patient through chart review to make sure the new system is safe and efficient.
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.
The aim of this study is to identify incidence of portal vein thrombosis after umbilical catheter and to identify the risk factor of this condition ,location of PVT and prognosis of PVT.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of edoxaban in the prevention of tumor catheter-related thrombosis (CVC/PICC) in high-risk patients
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the leg. DVT is called 'proximal' when the clot is formed in the veins of the hip, thigh, and knee. DVT can cause serious health problems. The blood clots in the veins can break loose and can then travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in the lungs, blocking blood flow to the lungs. Symptoms of DVT include swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected leg, as well as redness and warmth in the area. Currently, DVT is usually treated using blood thinners to prevent the clot from getting bigger or breaking off and traveling to the lungs. However, blood thinners may not be able to remove a blood clot quickly and may not be suitable for everyone who has DVT. BAY3018250 is a drug that works by dissolving blood clots. In this study, researchers will compare BAY3018250 with placebo to learn how well it works and how safe it is in participants with proximal DVT. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers to confirm that the results observed during the study were caused by the study drug and not by other factors. The main purposes of this study are to learn: - How well BAY3018250 works in dissolving blood clots in participants with proximal DVT and - How safe is BAY3018250 as a treatment for participants with proximal DVT? For this, the researchers will use ultrasound tests to measure blood clots in participants before and at various times after study treatment. They call these measurements a clot burden score. They will compare the clot burden score before and after treatment and will calculate a complex measure called AUC. This tells researchers how the clots have changed over time. And researchers will collect the number of bleeding events that require medical attention. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of 3 treatment groups. Dependent on the group, they will receive a single dose of high dose or low dose of BAY3018250 or placebo. Researchers will closely monitor participants for 90 days after receiving the study treatment. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate - undergo ultrasound tests to measure the blood clots - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.
